A construction specialist outlines specifications for quality control documentation. The specifications should be concise using the imperative form and limiting each paragraph to one topic. Technical specifications need to be carefully coordinated with drawings and address all areas of the building. Ambiguous terminology should be avoided as it is a major issue in specification writing. When complete, specifications provide a repository of the architect's vision to guide successful project completion.
