01 Names

M25 · 12 ft · AAC · WPC · SS box

A product name is only the beginning.

You do not need to remember every specification. You need to know what the words mean and when to ask for more detail.

Knowing the product name is not the same as understanding the specification.

Specification connecting product or grade to location, purpose, system and designer approval
Build the useful questions

02 Questions

Connect every label to its decision.

A useful specification explains what is supplied, where it is used, why it is appropriate and who approved it.

Where is it specified, and who selected it?

Height

Which height?

Floor-to-floor or clear finished height?

Waterproofing

Which system?

What exact layers are used, and where?

Walls

Which material?

What changes in mortar, plaster and fixing?

Tank

Which demand?

What backup period produced the capacity?

Frames & electrical

Which location?

What exact material is used at each point?

Handle a substitution

03 Change

Do not argue from the word “premium.”

If a contractor substitutes a lower specification, ask what changed, where it is being used and whether the designer approved it.

Three questions to carry
What exactly is being supplied?
  • Why is it appropriate in this location?
  • What performance or scope changes?
  • Has the relevant designer approved the change?
  • Is the revised specification documented?

04 Finish

Turn a vague label into an actionable specification.

Choose the next question that reveals the actual system and its location.

Chapter principle

Specification = product or grade + location + purpose + system + approval.

A quotation says only “Premium Waterproofing.” What should you ask next?

Choose the question that makes the specification verifiable.
