Construction Specifications |
|||||
Preparing a Source for Specs If you plan to include Specifications in a contract, you'll first create a source file, then prepare it so it includes every construction item you want to have in the contract. You'll usually make a contract from an estimate or bid, although you can also use a project list or schedule, or make the contract directly from a Clauses file. NOTE: If you will not include Specifications in a contract created by the MacNail project management software, skip this entire section. Creating the Source File You can create the Specifications portion of a contract from an estimate, a project list, a schedule, a spec sheet, or a clauses file created in the MacNail construction management software. Using an Estimate You can make a contract from a MacNail estimate (or an estimate from any program that uses a similar file format). The Specifications section of the contract will be based on the Specifications section of the estimate. Each item that is in the estimate will also show up in a clause in the contract. When you use an estimate
to make a contract, you'll have the option to first make a project list from it (see
page 53). |
