TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

SECTION 0001

INTRODUCTION

The Drawings and the Technical Specifications are complementary to each other. Drawings are graphic means of
showing work to be done. They are particularly suited to showing where materials are located. Thus, drawings exist
essentially to show dimension, location and placement. Not all works however, can be presented in the drawings.
Generalized works are usually in statement form, and hence the Contractor is required to read the specifications
carefully.

Specifications, on the other hand, are used to describe the materials, construction techniques, samples, shop
drawings, guarantees, and other contract requirements. Together, the drawings and the specifications are used to
inform the Contractor. In cases where the specified brand carries with it the manufacturer's specifications, the
manufacturer's specifications shall hold precedence over these specifications.

The specification herein is presented in the form of Summary of Materials and Finishes which indicates in a concise
form the scope of work and materials for the project, as well as mentioning in a general way the location or
placement of construction elements within the project. As a general guide and in the spirit for which the working
specifications are prepared, works and materials necessary for the project, and which may, or may not be, included
herein are expected to conform with sound construction procedures, and especially as per the minimum requirement
of traditional and established institutes, societies, or associations for specific materials and work trades, and as per
the procedures proposed by pertinent governmental construction bodies whenever applicable.

THE LANGUAGE OF THE SPECIFICATIONS

The Technical Specifications are of the abbreviated type and include incomplete sentences.

The selection of sentence structure depends on the underlying principles of Specifications:

a. That the Technical Specifications are only one part of the Contract Documents;

b. That the Contract is between the Owner and the General Contractor; and,

c. That the General Contractor is the only party responsible for completing the work in accordance with the
Contract Documents.
