Book Description
Excerpt from The Elements of Specification Writing: A Text-Book for Students in Civil Engineering This book is a text-book on the art of specification writing, not a collection of specifications. While intended primarily for the classroom, it should prove of value to the young engineer in practice. The book is the outgrowth of a series of lectures delivered by the author annually for the past six years before the senior class in Civil and Sanitary Engineering in the Sheffield Scientific School of Yale University. The following features are worthy of note here: (1) The fundamentals of a contract - particularly of a construction contract with its attendant plans and specifications - are concisely brought out. (2) A chapter is devoted to the Advertisement and one to the Proposal. (3) The General Clauses (Chapters VI to XI inclusive) are given thorough exposition, from an Engineer's viewpoint. Many interesting cases illustrating their application to actual construction work are cited and discussed. Numerous and varied model clauses are quoted. (4) Chapter XII contains practical suggestions touching the Specific (or technical) Clauses. Outlines of such clauses for nine simple construction projects (Chapter XIII) will assist the student as he essays for himself the composition of specifications. The outlines cover work with which the average student is more or less familiar - a manifest advantage to the beginner. (5) The classified list of references (largely to recent articles in the more readily accessible technical Journals) in the Appendix will furnish student and instructor a fund of commentary and illustration.

Excerpt from The Elements of Specification Writing: A d104-Book for Students in Civil Engineering Much the larger proportion of construction can be classed as contract work. This is a convenient term for that which is carried on under an agreement by which the Owner is to pay the Contractor a definite sum for his work (or for each separate part), regardless of the Contractor's profits. In contract work, although the Owner's interests are still looked after by the Engineer, much of the responsibility for the execution of the work is shifted to the Contractor's shoulders.
