Where Have I Heard That Before?By Sheldon Wolfe, RA, FCSI, CCS, CCCA, CSC

"It is probable thatfew members ofthe profession willdisagree [that] thepreparation ofspecifications re-ceives less studyand attention inproportion to itsimportance than

any other phase of architectural or engineeringpractice. It is generally conceded that there isneed for accurate, concise, yet comprehensivespecifications in order to secure the best resultsfrom any set of plans. In our architecturalschools … instruction in specification writing hasbeen neglected to such an extent that those towhom the task of specification writing has fallenhave usually been forced to educate themselves.As a natural sequence of this condition we findtoo many inaccurate and incomplete documentsaccompanying drawings under the guise of speci-fications."

If you participate in or visit CSI groups onLinkedIn, or follow discussions on 4specs.com, ortalk with just about any specifier, it's likely youhave heard similar comments. Most of those whowork with specifications appreciate their value,and believe that, to be effective, they must con-tain all the information needed by the contractor,they must not contain irrelevant information, andthey must be easy to understand.

Following is more of the comment from which Itook the opening quotation.

"IT is probable that few members of the profes-sion will disagree with the statement that, con-sidered broadly, the preparation of specifica-tions receives less study and attention in pro-portion to its importance than any other phaseof architectural or engineering practice. It isgenerally conceded that there is need for accu-rate, concise, yet comprehensive specificationsin order to secure the best results from any setof plans. Yet to many architects and engineersthe task of their preparation is onerous, and inorder to produce a written document to accom-pany the drawings they sometimes even resortto the re-working of old specifications. It is usu-ally discovered later that they do not accuratelyapply to the work in hand.

"It is because of these conditions that THE AMERI-CAN ARCHITECT notes with the greatest satisfac-tion the initiation of a movement to organizeThe American Specification Institute along thelines of the National Professional Societies.

"It is obvious that The American SpecificationInstitute should have as its fundamental pur-pose the education of its membership so as toassure better and more uniform specifications,the dissemination of information relating to theproduction of raw materials, their manufactureor fabrication into finished products, and how,when and where to use the different materials.When the specification writer has acquired athorough understanding of the materials andequipment described and called for in his spec-ifications he will be able to write more intelli-gently and produce a document that will furnishprotection alike to the client, the architect, thebuilder and the manufacturer.

The above was printed in 1920, in The AmericanArchitect, published from 1876 through 1938,when it was absorbed by Architectural Record. Infollowing issues, readers responded.

"The average architect beginning practice to-day knows very little about this most importantphase of his work. He little knows how muchstress a client will put on his knowledge ofstone and concrete; the grades of lumber; themost efficient kinds of paint for various purpos-es; what constitutes the various grades ofglass; plumbing goods; hardware and electricalwork. The architect to correctly specify mustknow these things intelligently and intimatelyso that he may not only be in a position to ad-vise the client but to advise the builder if nec-essary. Architecture is the art of building thor-oughly even as much as making buildings at-tractive." Heacock & Hokanson

"It occurs to me that architects in the past havepaid altogether too little attention to this im-portant phase of their work, and too little op-portunity for development has been given tothose men who are engaged in specificationwriting. The result of this has been that oftenour well-conceived projects have been poorlyconstructed, and proper provision has too oftennot been made to protect various materials inthe proper manner." H. Kenneth Franzheim,architect

Continued form page 6

"I agree that the specification practice ofmost architects offices is the least creditablepart of their work, due probably to severalthings: First, … in an effort to hasten thework, old specifications for similar buildingsare often rehashed and made over with agreater or lesser degree of success, mostlyless. Secondly, specifications are to the ma-jority of architects the least interesting partof their work, the very essential to the bestinterests of their client. " An old subscriber

"Most specification writers receive their train-ing at the present time solely in the school ofexperience, which is, of course, excellent,but does not cover the entire ground, for thereason that these men are usually the prod-uct of training of one or two offices whichhave their individual methods." Wm. O. Lud-low, architect

Not everyone agreed. I recently heard an archi-tect express an opinion similar to the following.

"We, of course, do not approve of any insti-tution that would seek to standardize so im-portant a document as a specification, be-cause we believe that personality and crea-tiveness enter as much into this branch ofthe architect's work as in matters of designand execution of drawings. We do not be-lieve that you can make specification spe-cialists because we believe the specificationmaker must be imbued with all the art andquestions of accomplishing a building and itis a subject as intimate as the architect him-self." Edwards & Sayward

Isn't it interesting that we're voicing the sameconcerns now as were expressed nearly a hun-dred years ago?

The thing most relevant to specification writing is

this. Not all clients or their lawyers can look at a

set of construction drawings and visualized thecompleted building in three dimensions. But the

lawyers can read a set of specifications.

One of the simplest things to understand isthat not knowing something is an answer.There is nothing wrong with this statement. Ifyou will remember, all projects start at thispoint. As you solve problems and make deci-sions about what a project needs, you elimi-nate what is doesn’t need. If you mix togetherboth the problems and solutions, you neverseem to get anywhere. Likewise, if you putoff decisions, the problems that you face onlyget harder. Instead of moving forward usingthe knowledge gained by solving small prob-lems, you move forward more slowly, boggeddown by problems tat become rapidly morecomplex and expensive to solve.

Untimely solutions frequently mean having todiscard work which is not entirely compatiblewith a decision that you are about to make.At times you appear to be making no pro-gress at all because you are literally movingbackwards. Design is about compromise. Nomatter how wonderful, not every idea will beincorporated into a workable design that satis-fies the project requirements and is withinbudget.

Successful design depends on timely deci-sions that fit the project requirements andgoals. Moving forward with a lot of assump-tions that do not support the project require-ments or budget is a recipe for project finan-cial disaster.

Not knowing an answer to a question is im-portant. It not only shows the weak areas in acurrent plan, but the problems that need to beanswered. A managers job is to identifythose that can and will, as well as those thatcannot and will not.

Integrity1

By Donald F. Smith, Jr., CSI CCS RA LEEDAP

XXXX –

Every once in a while I need to remind ProjectArchitects that I work in the non-fiction depart-ment. I cannot produce specification for sub-jects that have not been identified by the projectarchitect. If I could get a couple of exterior ele-vations with notes and the same with wall sec-tions I should be able to do my job, which isspecification writing. I don’t need exhaustivedescriptions; just enough to give me a picture ofwhat the project needs.

The amount of the Invoice is what we contractedfor this issue. Instead of complaining aboutwhat you didn’t get, I would suggest you take acloser look on how many times you defaulted onyou contract with me by not providing the infor-mation that you promised in a timely manner sothat I could do my job. A this late date, it shouldnot take you another week, or two, to figure thisout. With a little bit of information I should beable to fill in the gaps in the submittal and giveyou the missing specification sections quickly soyou can provide a thorough review.

The average project takes about 400,000 deci-sions. If we start mixing the fact with fiction,pretty soon you cannot tell them apart. Evenworse, a computer can give credibility to the fic-tion by making it look like fact. This sort of be-havior can be career ending.

Best regards,

Donald F. Smith, Jr., RA, CSI, CCS, LEED AP5001 Nina Lee LaneHouston, TX 77092

While names have been omitted to protect peo-ple who should know better, this part of somereal correspondence. What we are talkingabout here is integrity. This is an ongoing battlethat ends with death. You spend your wholecareer fighting to deal only in non-fiction. If youstart inserting information about something thatis not true, you will quickly end up breaching thepromises that you make when you become an


Component information noted in wall section isimportant. The question is: why did the drafterdraw this view? What was important about it? Itshould show and note the changes that occurfrom a typical location and just enough relatedinformation to orient the viewer. As a specifica-tion writer, I can’t tell you how many plans, eleva-tions, and sections I see with extraneous infor-mation. If you are looking at a building elevation,who cares if it has a concrete bench in front of itwhen none of the building exterior material areidentified.

It almost looks like a failure to commit to writing anote. How could you possibly draw something ifyou don’t know what it is?

But I will venture a guess on how this happens.Designers. Designers never think their best ideais the one that is first thought of. Even up to theDate of Substantial Completion I can imagine thelittle gears are turning in their mind that a bettersolution is out there, and . . .there is still time tomake a change.

If I had a dollar for every cut sheet received thatcontained 11 different models each with material,accessory and color selections to be made Iwould be retired and living in the Caribbean.

All of these problems weave indecision into theconstruction documents. And all of these post-poned decisions should have occurred in eitherSchematic Design of in the Design Developmentproject phases. Postponing decisions does notallow you to get more, they actually trap you intosettling for less. Prices rise, coordination costsmore, and the advantage of competitive pricinghas been lost , not to mention increased over-head, lost fee, and more stress.

What really has been lost is the satisfaction oftaking on a small task and completing it satisfac-torily. The joy of not having to worry about itagain.

Drawing and Specification Review

By Donald F. Smith, Jr., CSI CCS RA LEED AP

Drawing and specification review is a lot harderthan it use to be. You may think that not much haschanged, but the move from paper copies to com-puter output, usually at a reduced scale, makes itharder to see mistakes. Also, computer generatedwork looks better.

The CAD operator of today has a library of details towork from. Because of constant design and materi-al changes, few details are exactly what is needed;most are similar and require some to major modifi-cation. Project Architects have the lead role in CDdevelopment and live stressed to the limit. The car-toon set created in DD may not get the full attentionneeded, especially if material and system decisionare not made in a timely manner. Detail changescan often fall through the cracks. To the CAD oper-ator on the fast track, this is an opportunity to ad-vancement to show off the depth of his or her capa-bilities. Beginner CAD operators, can enter danger-ous territory by putting out work that is beyond theirpersonal understanding or limitations.

Computer work looks good; even the mistakes. I’ma believer that work should not be shown when ithas not been completely thought out. Whateverhappened to “Requirements to be provided.” I haveeven encountered a note from draftsman with nottoo much imagination about the future of his career.He wrote “See so-and-so”, which I take it was theProject Architect that he used to work for.

One of the most important concepts carried forwardfrom Design Development is the weather integrity ofthe building. As construction proceeds to close inthe building the weather integrity systems should besimple easy to build and hopefully accomplished byone subcontractor, not and army of unrelated tradeseach pointing fingers at each other. One of the big-gest mistakes is getting caught in your own mouse-trap. It is not only painful but very embarrassing.

Sometimes by looking at the style of the details, youcan figure out how many people are working on asimilar detail in different locations. Have you everseen brick on one elevation turn a corner and Poof!It’s concrete masonry and no clue is given if thetransition is a butt, tooth, or whatever joint.


Moving into the 2014-15 year, my plan is to

build on the momentum which has been grow-ing steadily and continue toward the strategic

goals set last year:

1. Provide open communication and contactinformation so all region members knowwho to go to (resources) for assistance

2. Provide leader training including a P-Etraining class (invite VP’s, others interest-ed in serving as chapter P-E’s also),treasurer and secretary training

3. Increase membership and membership reten-tion; provide training for chapter membershipchairs

4. Engage members with L.I.F.E. initiative5. Provide assistance for chapters on elec-

tronic communications (including acquir-ing Constant Contact for email, settingup microsites, updating websites, usingDropbox for easy document access)

6. Increase attendance at SCR Conferences-encourage chapters to include more in theirbudget to assist leaders with travel to con-ference to get vital training

I encourage all members to get involved at the

region level and I cordially invite you to attendthe 2015 spring conference taking place at the

Overton Hotel in Lubbock, TX, April 16-18,

2015. Your involvement can contribute to a

stronger South Central Region- please do not

hesitate to contact me with ideas and sugges-

tions and best of luck for another wonderful yeartogether in CSI!

Melody Stinson, AIA, CCCA, CCS, CSI, LEED APCSI South Central Region 2014-15 PresidentContact: [email protected]

Hello from Oklahoma City!

First I would like to thank Past President Holly

Jordan for her leadership and guidance through-

out my term as President-Elect. It was an honor

and great experience to serve with Holly and the

rest of the region board members last year.

Many of you may not be aware what part the re-

gion plays in your membership benefits, so let me

share some examples. The spring region confer-

ence in Austin offered continuing education; twoCSI Fellows taught chapter leaders the basics of

‘Roberts Rules of Order’, (the format which gov-

erns all CSI board meetings) and incoming fel-low Mark Chavez taught a CDT bootcamp for

over 30 people. These are resources you can’t

get the same way online; there is no replace-

ment for one-on-one, face-to-face interaction.

Throughout the past year we have held monthly

conference calls with chapter presidents in an ef-

fort to strengthen communication between chap-ters and share ideas; at both the fall and spring

meetings Holly held a President’s dinner to

show appreciation to the leaders who volunteertheir time to run the chapter, an often thankless

and difficult job! Our dedicated electronic com-

munications chair, Adam Clark has increased our

web presence by upgrading the region website

www.scr-csi.org/ and setting up microsites for

Austin with Lubbock and San Antonio in the

works. On the region website you can find linksto each chapter’s page and other region infor-

mation like guides, contact information for region

officers and committee chairs - please take ad-

vantage of these resources!
