Reasons for Specifications
• A specification should state what an element of

construction should consist of and how it
should be installed in sufficient detail so that it
can be constructed.
• Putting too much notes on drawings may make it
clumsy and unreadable.
• To describe workmanship or construction
methods on a drawing is often more difficult
than describing the materials in a specification.
