Synopsis

Clear guidance on construction contracts and specification writing that save time and money. This practical manual shows how to write specifications that complement drawings and protect both owners and builders. It covers the relationships among architect, contractor, and owner, and explains how to handle public and private contracts with confidence.

The book lays out the scope and purpose of a specification, the duties of the specification writer, and the balance between business acumen and technical detail. It emphasizes practical, testable guidance over vague rules, with examples that help you apply the concepts to real projects.


  • Learn how a specification defines the work, materials, and quality without duplicating what drawings already show.

  • Understand how to structure payments, changes, and risk so projects run smoothly and costs stay controlled.

  • Explore the roles and responsibilities of owners, contractors, and architects to prevent misunderstandings.

  • Get guidance on handling both public and private contracts, including standard practices and decision processes.



Ideal for designers, contractors, project managers, and students seeking a solid, field-tested approach to contracts and specifications on real-world projects.
