PART - 1 INTRODUCTION

The Drawings and the Specifications are complementary to each other. Drawings are graphic
means of showing work to be done. They are particularly suited to show 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, it shall hold precedence over these specifications.

The Specifications herein indicates in a concise form the scope of work and the materials for
the project, as well as mentioning in a general way the location or placement of construction elements
within the project.

PART – 2 THE LANGUAGE OF SPECIFICATIONS

The Specifications are 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.

Therefore:

1. Only the General Contractor is referred to in the Specifications so as not to violate the
intent of the contract and so as not to undermine the proper chain of command.

2. The omission of the phrase “The Contractor shall” is intentional because the whole
specification is directed to the Contractor. Omitted words or phrases shall be supplied
by interference in the same manner as they are when “note” occurs on the drawings.

3. Where “as shown”, “as indicated” or words of similar import are used, it shall be
understood that reference to the drawings accompanying the specifications is made
unless otherwise stated.

4. Where “as directed”, “as required”, “as permitted”, “as authorized”, “as approved”, “as
accepted” or words of similar imports are used, it shall be understood that the
direction, requirement, permission, authorization, approval, or acceptance of the
Architect is intended unless otherwise stated.

5. As used herein, “provided” shall be understood to mean “provide complete in place”

that is “furnished and installed”.
