Specification writing - Office Standards
Why use office standards?
- If you regularly work on similar projects, creating an office standard specification will improve consistency and speed-up the process of preparing individual project specifications.
- Office standard specifications are the perfect place to capture technical feedback from completed projects.
- The time taken to create a properly structured office standard specification will generally be paid-back on the second or third project using the standard.
Why not just copy the most recent project?
- Creating an office standard is not the same as copying the specification from the most recent project. A properly managed office standard will include the facility to update British Standards and building techniques on a regular basis.
Why create office standards in NBS Building?
- NBS Building has included the facility to create, manage, and update your own office standard specification(s) from the very beginning, although NBS themselves admit that the facility is under-utilised by most of their subscribers.
How can I help?
- I have extensive experience of creating and managing office standard specifications for a number of architectural practices, both large and small.
- I have developed unique web-based systems for managing office standard specifications which smooth the regular update process and can, if appropriate, be integrated with your practice intranet or internal knowledge management system.
