          Firstly these are specifications that briefly describe the items of construction. It is also useful to quantity surveyors in preparing estimates of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          1. Detailed specification:<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Therefore detailed specifications are part of the contract document and detailed specifications for different items are prepared separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Therefore government department like PWD publishes these specifications and are available in the form of a booklet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
