When to Use Construction Specifications

If you are an architect, designer or design-builder, use Spec Writer:

* to set up a contract with the client for your services, as specified by the MacNail project management software.
* to create a spec sheet to attach to blueprints, as part of the competitive bidding process.
* to create a general contract between the builder and the owner.
* to create subcontracts, if you are acting as general contractor yourself.

If you are a plumber, electrician, mason or other specialty subcontractor, use Spec Writer:

* to create contracts directly with the owner, for projects that don't involve a general contractor.
* to create contracts for use with a general contractor or design/builder.
* to clarify the scope of work when bidding competitively, or to attach conditions to your bid.
* to create subcontracts, for work that you yourself subcontract to other parties.

If you are a developer or property manager, use Spec Writer:

* To create a spec sheet when putting work out to bid, as specified by the MacNail construction management software .
* To create contracts for purchasers of custom homes.
* To create contracts with builders, subcontractors, or others working on your projects.
