Construction Specifications

All construction specifications must be developed in the CSI Format using the MasterSpec system. MasterSpec® is a product of The American Institute of Architects (AIA) and is produced and published for the AIA by ARCOM. In addition, the documents below are specification sections that have been tailored to meet specific requirements of the Institution and should be used when required by a particular design.

Construction Specification Cover Sheet: A title page for the specification book with the required signature block for the Associate Director of OEDC and containing a statement of conformance with the Smithsonian Directive (SD) 410.

Division One, Supplementary Conditions for Construction: Use this MS Word guide specification for all projects except very large projects. Careful editing is required by the the Design Manager and/or the Architect-Engineer Design Team. For projects at NZP contact the Resident Engineer for assistance in developing a customized set of Supplementary Conditions.
