Specification
 A specification is a specific description of a particular subject. An engineering specification contains
detailed description of all workmanship and materials which are required to complete an engineering
project in accordance with its drawings and details.
Objective of Specification:
 The cost of a unit quantity of work is governed by its specification.
 Specification of work is required to specify the quality and quantity of different materials required in a
construction work and is one of the essential contract documents.
 This also specifies the workmanship and the method of doing work.
 A work is carried out according to its specification and the contractor is paid for the same. Any change
in specification changes the tendered rate.
 The necessity of specification is to verify and check the strength of materials for a work involved in a
project.
 Specification is an essential contract document and is required for Arbitration or court cases.
 Specification is necessary to specify the equipment, tools and plants to be engaged for a work and thus
enables to procure them beforehand.
Principles of specifications
 Description of materials: The quality and size of materials required to do an item of work shall be fully
described for checking up at site according to the bindings provided in the specification.
 Workmanship: Complete description of workmanship, the method of mixing to the proportion, the method of

 Expression: While writing a specification endeavor shall be made to express the requirements of the
specification clearly and in concise form avoiding repetition and unusual words. The style of tense shall remain
same throughout.
 Clauses of specifications: As far as possible, the clauses shall be arranged in the order in which work shall be
carried out. This does not mean to follow the works according to the order of arrangements but it facilitates
reference. While framing clauses for quality of materials, workmanship, tools and plants etc. practical
possibilities shall be realized.
Type of Specification
There are two types of specifications
1. General Specifications
2. Detailed Specifications
General specifications
 In this type of specification, nature and class of works and names of materials that should be used are described.
 General specifications provide a very brief explanation about construction materials and construction work.
 These specifications are not a part of contract document. These specifications help about knowing the name of
different materials, their ratios, and quantities.
Detailed specifications
 Detailed specifications convey the requirements of project to contractor through a detailed explanation of materials
and work.
 It provides a complete knowledge about the construction material, workmanship of construction work, ratio of
different materials, mixing method, quantity of individual material, how to prepare the materials and conduct the
installation, different testing requirements to be followed and how work will be measured.
 Detailed specifications are a part of contract, that’s why it helps in understanding the contract.
 Detailed specifications should be written in a pattern which is to be followed during execution of work
