Contact Construction specifications, made practical
Write better specifications.In less time, with greater confidence.
SpecWorks is a UK construction specification resource and consultancy created by Robert Wood MCIOB, Chartered Builder. It helps architects, building surveyors and other construction professionals prepare clearer, more dependable tender information using practical editable clause content and experienced specification support.
Good specification work is difficult for practical reasons
The information needed to describe the work rarely arrives in one place. It may be spread across drawings, surveys, schedules, manufacturers’ literature, emails, standards and previous project documents.
At the same time, specifications are often prepared against short programmes and limited fees. Previous wording is carried forward, information becomes outdated and important decisions can remain unresolved. The finished document may look complete while tenderers are still being asked to price different interpretations of the work.
SpecWorks provides a stronger starting point
SpecWorks develops dependable, editable technical clauses for recurring construction work. The common requirements are already gathered and written, while the decisions that belong to the individual project remain visible for the professional to complete.
The clauses work within familiar Word-based documents. There is no requirement to adopt another large software platform, and professional judgement remains where it belongs: with the person preparing the specification.
Where a project needs more than standard clause content, SpecWorks also provides specification writing, document review and specification rescue services.
The aim is straightforward: clearer scope, more comparable tenders and fewer problems later.
