Webinar details

Thursday 4th December, 11.00AM 

Writing clear and concise specifications is crucial on construction projects. A well-structured specification is not only essential for design success but can also prevent unexpected costs, delays and disputes. 

Following the principles of our Best Practice Guide to Specification Writing, this webinar puts theory into action, by showing how best practice is achieved in NBS Chorus.

Join Dr Stephen Hamil, Innovation Director at NBS, and Andrew Scott-Greener, a specialist specification writer from our consultancy team, as they demonstrate how to translate guidance directly into day-to-day specification writing.

Drawing on real project experience, the session focuses on achieving consistency, coordination and control at every stage of the specification process. 

Learn about

  • Creating and maintaining master specifications
  • Using collaboration tools to invite colleagues and control access
  • Achieving consistency with naming conventions, suffixes and variable phrases
  • Managing specification revisions and publishing

You’ll also find out how to download the free Best Practice Guide and customise it to suit your organisation. 

Join the session to move from principles to practice, and develop a robust, standardised approach to specifications.
