Construction Specifications Portable Handbook,
By Christopher Carlson AIA (Cashmere, WA. USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Construction Specifications Portable Handbook (Paperback)
Once again Mr. Stitt helps make sense of an all too often arcane subject. He starts w/ problems common to specifications writting & helps you on through how to create a set of specifications, efficient writting, why use a check list (he provides examples of both short & long formatts), master specifications, an introduction to CSI, thoughts about service level & how they effect specifications; then on to research, checking & common errors to avoid. As per Mr. Stitt's numerous other published work on the less glamorous & often overlooked aspects of creating legible, cogent construction documents, this book is a must have for anyone w/ a deadline & a set of specifications to write.
