It used to be basically a paper form and more recently I have seen more complex ones drawn up by an electronic program. I can write my own but it could be quite a bit of work. Regards Andrew Re: Building Specifications 4Nov 17, 2020 9:45 am andrewpen I have seen more complex ones drawn up by an electronic program. I can write my own but it could be quite a bit of work. The problem with manually doing it is coordinating all the details, information and data The Architectural Engineering and construction (AEC) 3D Bim program automates the process whereby eliminating errors, missing information, etc .(CDC documents can be 50+ pages) Ot Talk to your private certifier they seemed to be more switched on than the council certifiers...Time is money Cheers Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs Re: Building Specifications 5Nov 18, 2020 9:18 am The HIA specification is what we were directed to by our certifier as being the default document that they go by. I'm surprised your PCA hasn't listed that as one of the requirements needed for your CC rather than the council ( unless you are using them as the PCA that is ).

I have found them alright but they are not very customer focused. It was the HIA one that I have used before but I thought it may be available electronically now, since everything has to be submitted electronically.

It is OK as a specification but it is by no means comprehensive. Stewie Thanks. I was still having trouble getting it from HIA as their website kept sending me around in circles and they didn't return calls, but another friend suggested I try the Master Builders Association and they let me order it on line no problem. And it is about half the price of the HIA one. Thanks Andrew Thanks for your reply! All valid points and I agree with you on many of them.
