Professional Construction Specification Writing & Documentation
Construction specifications provide written requirements for materials, products, workmanship, installation, quality, testing, inspection, and other aspects of construction work.
Lamtas can develop construction specification documents from project information, technical notes, drawings, schedules, existing specifications, material information, requirements, and other supplied source material.
Depending on the project, specifications can address individual trades, construction packages, building elements, installations, materials, finishes, equipment, site works, or broader project requirements.
Existing construction specifications can be reviewed and revised where project requirements, materials, construction methods, standards, design information, or delivery conditions have changed.
The resulting documentation can be structured for its intended use, including procurement, tender documentation, contractor instructions, project coordination, quality control, inspection, or handover.

Our Process
How Lamtas Develops Construction Specifications
1. Establish the Construction Scope
Identify the project, construction package, work category, intended users, deliverable requirements, and available technical information.
2. Review Project Sources
Examine drawings, schedules, existing specifications, technical notes, material information, project requirements, and other supplied documentation.
3. Organize Construction Requirements
Develop an appropriate structure covering materials, execution, workmanship, quality, testing, inspection, and related project requirements.
4. Draft or Revise
Prepare new specification content or improve existing construction documentation according to the agreed scope.
5. Review for Consistency
Check terminology, references, organization, requirements, units, descriptions, and consistency with the available project information.
6. Finalize the Specification
Incorporate agreed revisions and prepare the completed construction specification for its intended project use.
