1.00 INTRODUCTION
The Drawings and the Specifications are complimentary 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.
A. Work listed and described in these Specifications are subject to the General
Conditions of the Contract which forms part of this work.

SPECIFICATION – DIVISION 1: GENERAL Edwin E. Aguiling + Associates
Entertainment City – Manila, Coastal Area, Manila Bay, Pasay
The Specifications are of the abbreviated type and include incomplete sentences.
The selection of 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,
C. 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 inference in the same manner as they are when a "note" occurs in
the Drawings.
D. Where "as shown", "as indicated", "as detailed" or words of similar import are
used, it shall be understood that the reference to the drawings accompanying the
Specifications is made, unless otherwise stated.
E. Where "as directed", "as required", "as permitted", "as authorized", "as approved",
"as accepted" or words of similar import are used, it shall be understood that the
direction, requirement, permission, authorization, approval or acceptance of the
Architect is intended, unless otherwise specified.

G. Most sentences are in the imperative mood. This style is especially suited for
instructions covering installations of products and equipment.
The verb is the first word of the sentence clearly defining the action to be
performed. This is more concise and, therefore, readily understandable.

designated by the Architect or Engineers and same will be used as standard
workmanship for the entire work. Samples shall be made of surface

A. Concrete
i. Light sand-blast
ii. Wire-brush and wash the surface thoroughly with water,
Neutralize and test pH or alkalinity. Salts and white Crystals
which resist water can be dissolved by washing or Scrubbing
the surface with diluted hydrochloric acid, (half liter
hydrochloric acid to four liters of water). Rinse surface with
water and allow to dry.

For chalking old paint, treat with masonry conditioner and use primer.
In case of mildew infestation, treat with MILDEWCIDE WASH
SOLUTION by swabbing or brushing. Allow either solution to remain
on the surface for 24 hours to ensure proper treatment. Brush off and
rinse with water. Let dry.
B. Metal
a. Ferrous Metal: Metal must be clean and dry, free from oil, grease, wax,
dust, rust, solder flux and other contaminants.
The ideal surface preparation for rusty metal is White Metal Blasting
which can be achieved by san-blasting or power-grinding. This
involves the removal of all visible rust, mill scale, paint and
contaminants, leaving the metal uniformly white or gray in
appearance. This metal surface preparation should be used where
maximum performance protective coating is necessary due to
exceptionally severe conditions such as constant immersion in water or
liquid chemicals.
Thicker layers of rust can be removed with the use of solutions. Wipe
the surface with rag soaked in paint thinner.
c. Repainting: Sand wire brush or scrape rusted metal and apply rust
converter to remove rust. Let it stay for 10 to 15 minutes. Thoroughly
wash off surface with mineral spirits. Let dry before applying paint.

C. Aluminum: Surfaces must be dry, clean and free from foreign maters which
may impair adhesion. Clean surfaces with lacquer thinner then light sand
to reduce gloss before application. Use vinyl wash, for surfaces which
should be roughed for better adhesion. Allow overnight to dry, before
applying the desired finish coat.
E. Putty
a. Masonry Putty: For filling minor surface, unevenness and full puttying
apply concrete putty with putty knife. Thin with water when
necessary. Allow two hours before recoating.
b. Metal and Wood Putty: For filling minor surface dents and
imperfections apply glazing putty with putty knife. Thin with paint
thinner when necessary. Allow two hours before recoating. Scuff sand.
F. Glossy Surfaces: Sand and clean surfaces thoroughly. This method will
provide a "tooth" for the following coats.
G. Oil and Grease: Remove oil or grease by paint thinner or by wiping with
rags wetted with paint thinner. Change solvents and rags frequently.
Remove loose dirt by bristle brushes, then blow clean with air pressure or
steam cleaning.
