ABAA Contractor Webinar: A Little Light Reading: A Contractor’s Guide to Specifications

We are excited to invite you to an exclusive webinar presented by Amy Baker, a seasoned Registered Architect and Specifications Consultant with over 20 years of experience in the commercial construction industry.

Construction specifications are assembled by design professionals to communicate product information, qualitative standards, and procedural requirements to the construction team. The resulting project manual, a contract document which can be several hundreds of pages long, takes time to break down and understand.

This presentation is designed to help contractors effectively navigate construction specifications and understand where to find specific information on processes, materials, and quality expectations.
