The best reference book for writing specifications - but it could be a little bit better.By ArchiMarkOriginally I purchased this for preparation for CSIs Certified Construction Specifier (CCS) exam. Unlike most books Ive purchased in my life for exam prep purposes. I kept this one after the exam because its one of the better reference sources Ive found for all issues associated with writing specs.For the exam prep purposes: This book is pretty comprehensive. and certainly the primary source for the exam. but I was a bit annoyed to find that it does not cover some specifications-related topics that are on the exam. so it was still necessary to review parts of CSIs "Project Resource Manual". in addition to this book. It seems to me that CSI would make sure that all critical information related to specifications would be in their specifications book - but some items that are in the PRM arent in this Construction Specifications Practice Guide. The PRM is the book that the CDT exam is based on. and since that exam is a pre-requisite for taking the CCS I would expect that most people studying for the CCS would also have that book. If not. you may want to get that one too. If youre studying for the CCS exam. its not that you need to re-read the entire several hundred page PRM. but Id recommend keyword searching the PRM for the words "specifications". "specifier". etc. - because there were certain items that arose on the exam that were addressed by that book but not by the Construction Specifications Practice Guide.Id recommend skipping around in this book when you study for the CCS exam. To do well on the exam you really need to be fluent in the material of all of the chapters of the book. Unfortunately the book is more heavy-handed and repetitive in the early chapters. which can bog down your studying and may delay you from getting around to the later chapters and having time to study them thoroughly. If you have limited time to study. and youve already got a solid understanding already of the basics (things like the differences between performance specs and proprietary specs. open and closed proprietary specs. understanding of delegated design. etc.) then Id suggest just skimming those chapters. moving on to the later chapters (like specs for federal projects. insurance. and purchasing goods) because theyre just as important for the exam.For office reference purposes: This is an excellent book to use in developing a firms specifications templates. and defining office procedures. The chapter on language is one that Ive tried to disseminate to my whole office. for a broader understanding of appropriate terms and punctuation in specifications and drawing notes. ambiguous words to avoid. imperative sentence structure. etc.Again its not quite as comprehensive as it could be - occasionally I find myself looking for spec-related CSI recommendations that I know Ive read before. only to find that the item Im searching for isnt covered in this book at all but is in the PRM or some other CSI publication.What Id like to see CSI do is search all of their publications for all content related to specifications and make sure that ALL of it gets into this Construction Specifications Practice Guide.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
