About Specification Planning

The Building Specification Plan defines the design specifications for your home construction project.

It will list the size and type of room, the general layout, the plumbing needs, flooring requirements, type of doors and windows, the landscaping layout of the yard, brand, make, model, color, etc.

 

Use the FREE specification sheet to note your design and materials specs.

You can present the spec sheet to a home building contractor when bidding out the project.

The following is the spec planning for each section of your home construction project:


Spec Plans:

Plan C: Foundation Plan M: Kitchen, Bath
Plan D: House Framing Plan N: Cleaning Closet

Also note that building codes specify how each project should be completed

Local inspectors will ensure that the construction meets code. It will be helpful to understand these codes when assembling your specs.
