Wear to spine and edges of cover. The written specifixation, which provides in technical terms precise details of the designer's intentions for the use of the builder, is essential to the majority of building contracts. It is used both for tendering in small works contracts and for carrying out the works. The writing of specifications as a technical accomplishment is now of growing importance in building and architectural education. However, most practices still rely on standard forms, usually on mainly historical interest, from which staff extract such clauses as appear suitable for the work in hand. In most cases these bear little relationship to modern practice. In this fully revised and updated second edition the author shows how both students and practitioners can prepare and build ip suitable clauses and specifications for a variety of building contracts. Some standard specifications are incorporated, each with a running explanation on the clauses used. The text uses the latest SMM layout and nomenclature, and a chapter is devoted to the use of the National Building Specification. Also included are the relevant clauses from the 1984 Edition of the Intermediate Form of Building Contract. 169 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
