Course Information

Introduction

Specifications alone were apparently sufficient to design and build the Ark in ancient times. Today, however, the process has become more complicated and specifications have evolved into complex documents and drawings have been added, reflecting new technologies and contractual relationships.

Both drawings and specifications have evolved as construction has become more complex. Reproduction of drawings was by "blueprints": white lines on blue backgrounds. Specifications were essentially notes on the drawings, except on some large projects where the notes were gathered into "book specs." The prospect is pending for the abolition of traditional drawings and specifications in favor of an interoperable database of information, known as the Building Information Model (BIM).

Objectives

• Construct the project specification documents.
• Identify the appropriate specification style.
