Using web-based software to create a controls specification
Keeping points lists, schematics, sequences of operations and spec language in synch as project needs evolve is a challenge. The cost of not doing so can be high. Come explore a free tool that lets you do what you do best – make decisions about what you need – while handling the “i” dotting and “t” crossing for you programmatically and automatically.
11:45am – 1:00pm Lunch and Main Session
Controls Specification 101
You get what you ask for, right? But with a controls specification, it’s easy to ask for something you don’t really want. Weak specifications create problems on a project (you may have even experienced some). Unclear or unrealistic owner expectations – with or without weak specifications – are a recipe for disappointment. To get what the owner really wants, you need to make sure his expectation is realistic, and you need to know how to ask for a system that will meet that expectation. And there are tools to help you do just that!
