Changes

Sometimes changes, called amendments, might be made to the specification. Amendments could relate, for example, to changes to materials or products used or methods of carrying out specified work. They should be clearly marked so that everyone who needs to, notices them. Amendments usually have to be signed or initialled by both the builder and the client to show they both agree.

On rare occasions, the specification may conflict with the drawings. For example, the specification may call for the front door to have a glass panel in the top half, yet the elevation may show no glass in the door. In this case, the builder should contact the architect or client and ask for clarification
