This specification may be used as the basis for developing either a project specification or an office master specification. Since it has been prepared according to the principles established in the Manual of Practice published by The Construction Specifications Institute (CSI), it may be used in conjunction with most commercially available master specifications systems with minor editing.

The following should be noted in using this guide specification:

Editing notes to assist users are included within bordered boxes. Delete these notes prior to final printing.

Optional text requiring a selection by the user is enclosed within brackets, e.g.: Section [01330][_____]."

Items requiring user input are enclosed within brackets, e.g.: Section [_____-______]."

Optional paragraphs are separated by an OR" statement, e.g.:

**** OR ****

Metric equivalents to inch-pound units follow the inch-pound units and are contained within parenthesis. Metric measurements are rationalized units based on the SI system of measurement. Delete either the inch-pound or metric units of measure depending on project requirements; do not include both units in a project specification, as conflicting requirements could result.

This guide specification is available in both hard copy and a variety of electronic formats to suit most popular word processing programs and operating platforms. Please contact Dayton Superior Corporation at (800) 745-3707 for additional copies or for information on available electronic formats.
