Abstract:
The speaker will describe his evolution in specification writing with the goal of protecting the owner while providing clear, meaningful, and realistic direction to the contractor, to material suppliers, and to ready-mix producers. Through real life examples, the speaker will illustrate common pitfalls of specification writing and give direction towards writing realistic specifications that will protect the owner without unnecessarily burdening contractors and suppliers with unreasonable requirements.
