Defeating the "Copy/Paste Approach" to Specification Writing
Presented by Mark Clemmensen, RSW
CSC Grand Valley Chapter - Luncheon Seminar
Seminar Description:
Attendees will be introduced to an industry-wide phenomenon
we've all come to accept!
Sub-par product literature & specifications are what's
available, resulting in recycling of outdated, uncoordinated specs from a
previous project, that we expect priced on this one!
Is it the Client's responsibility to fix and/or complete
Specifications provided by the Product Manufacturer? Product Master Sections
often don't contain the necessary content required to Tender on a Project.
Presenter Bio:

2011, at 28, and remains the youngest recipient of this designation since
