Tri-Service Construction Guide Specifications

Abstract

Construction specifications are important in controlling the cost, quality of materials, and workmanship in construction projects. Incomplete, erroneous, or out-of-date specifications often lead to poor or excessively costly construction, unnecessary and costly design changes, and disputes and litigation. Improve the quality of construction specifications can offer major cost, quality, and performance benefits. Currently, construction guide specification systems are maintained by both the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Naval Facilities Engineering Command. It was agreed that the Services need a shared, jointly maintained data base of construction specifications and criteria to both improve quality and reduce costs. The primary way to realize those objectives is to standardize and consolidate the construction guide specifications.
