Dive into the complexities of project specifications, exploring the three distinct sections—general, product, and execution—and their various subsections. Learn how these specifications guide construction projects, from installation instructions to surface treatments and protection measures.
Key Insights
- The three principal sections of a project specification are the general section, the product section, and the execution section. Each provides unique and essential information for the successful completion of a construction project.
- The execution section of the specifications package covers a wide range of topics. These include installation instructions, sealers, concrete repair and restoration, surface treatments, and protective measures, among others.
- In the specifications package for a construction project, up to 48 different divisions may be present, all encompassing various sections and subsections. Such comprehensive documentation ensures every aspect of the project is well-planned and executed.
Note: These materials offer prospective students a preview of how our classes are structured. Students enrolled in this course will receive access to the full set of materials, including video lectures, project-based assignments, and instructor feedback.
In specifications, there are three parts: the General section, the Product section, and Part Three is the Execution section. Within the Execution section, we typically discuss installers, manufacturer’s instructions, examination, coordination, installation, field quality control, final cleaning, protection, and maintenance.
As it relates to this specific section, again, we have the Execution portion. There is examination, preparation, and installation—and you can see here it states: install in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions. There is information about sealers, repairing and restoring concrete, repairing and restoring cementitious toppings, stamped overlay cementitious toppings, how to handle surface treatments, stamped concrete, resinous flooring, staining, and finally, protection is discussed.
In the specifications package for a construction project, there are up to 50 divisions. Those divisions have sections and subsections. Within the subsections, specific documentation is created for General, Product, and Execution content.
