F04−Clear as Glass: Writing Correct Window Specifications
Ken Modeen
Window specifications must be clear and precise to maintain material and labor budgets, avoid project delays, ensure performance of the finished product, and protect liability. This program addresses the ‘when,’ ‘what,’ ‘how,’ and ‘why’ questions about well-written window specifications, examines often-overlooked elements that can misrepresent products, dissects actual project specs to uncover where they might fall short, and suggests best practices.
