This guide, a joint venture with CIBSE and B&ES, provides a model format for building services specifications. This will aid efficiency and understanding for all parties involved in preparing and using specifications. Specifications which are inaccurate can lead to confusion, errors in pricing and can exacerbate difficulties in the commercial and contractual process. It is vital that specifications are written in such a way as to be readily understandable by the user. They should clearly describe what systems are to be provided and how they are intended to be operated once installed. The guide provides the general framework covering the arrangement of sections and clauses within which an author can use their content with the least amount of change. Classification has also been included along with the standard numbering to aid comparison with some existing specification preparation tools and a full list of Common Arrangement of Work Sections (CAWs) work sections has been included in the appendix. This will also be helpful when aligning the specification to BIM activities.
