SPECIFICATIONS
Why make a specification?
It clarifies what the client shall receive in
return for paying the quoted price
(expectations)
It states what the contractor will have to
do in order to get paid (obligations)
The specification provides a contractual
document for all the technical aspects of
the operation in order to reduce disputes
to a minimum
