Why you need Specification Expert
Writing specifications is an integral but time-consuming part of every Building
Services Engineers working life.
Many practices have developed in-house procedures and document templates to
optimise the time spent on those parts of the specification-writing process that
are common to most projects. But developing and maintaining a full specification
system along with the information resources required is very costly, and beyond
the means of most offices.
Even where sophisticated systems exist, the biggest problem remains keeping up
to date with the changes in British and European Standards, and keeping pace
with ‘best practice’
Specification Expert addresses the very real challenges of ensuring that
accurate and up to date information is available to Building Services Engineers.
This is an increasingly onerous task given the rate of legislative change, but
an absolutely vital one given the increasingly litigious environment in which
the whole construction industry operates.

Expert will give you
