This is what I would use.

PREFACE
The Manual of standard building specifications has served since 1992 as the reference document on buildings used both internally by the Commission departments and by the Commission’s external partners in the Brussels property market.

Building specifications
The building specifications are an important group of documents which forms part of the contract. The building specifications consist of plans, elevations and items which the customer has specified. These documents are used to work out the contract price at the beginning of the project. When planning the project, the building specifications only affect the scheduling of a job.

Building specifications are made up of the following types of documents. Select each of these to find out more:

Plans
Elevations
Material specifications
Colour specifications
Product specifications
Floor and wall covering specifications

At a minimum, building specifications list what materials to use, and call out any special installation requirements. Specs are much more valuable if they go farther and provide detailed installation requirements and establish quality standards for the materials and the workmanship. Equally important is providing a measurable way to determine whether the work has met the standard.
