Publisher's Synopsis
Using the NBS Domestic Specification - a very accurate written description of the products and materials to be used in a building or extending a house - will improve quality, save time, reduce uncertainty and help to avoid disputes. A concise, comprehensive and user-friendly tool for writing specifications for use on small domestic projects, this new edition has been updated and redesigned to make it even easier to use. For the first time referring to building standards and regulations in Scotland and Northern Ireland as well as English and Welsh ones, the completed document is immensely useful. It can be used: as part of an application for Building Regulations approval; for getting prices for the work; as a permanent record of the work agreed; as a set of instructions for use on site; as an aid to agreeing the value of the work done; and as part of a pack of information that describes all the work done. Now in A3 format (folded to A4) for ease of photocopying, 'NBS Domestic Specification' can be used by domestic clients, professional designers and domestic builders, including home owners/occupiers who may or may not have engaged a consultant to oversee the work. Written by NBS, the industry-leading supplier of tried-and-tested specifier information and part of RIBA Enterprises, this reliable, flexible publication will provide peace of mind for the parties to small domestic construction projects.
