What are custom home “specifications”?
There are hundreds of choices to make when building a new home. As the owner makes selections for their project, this information must be recorded. This record becomes the specifications for the project. Most often it is the responsibility of the architect or designer to compile the specifications of a project since they are working with you to make these choices and recommend products and finishes. Since it is nearly impossible to get all of the owner’s choices and selections written into a construction blueprint, the specification manual becomes an orderly way to compile the smaller details of the project. The specifications become a supplemental manual to the blueprints. It is also easier to update the specifications rather than the plan when selections change.
