Liebing Articles Approaching
MILESTONE
Since 2005
scip.com
has been publishing a series of insightful articles by Ralph Liebing
that provide
a perspective to the unique practice of writing specifications.
The articles are relatively short, a page or two, and strike to
the heart of what only specifiers can relate to. September's
contribution is no less a winner. Specifiers are a special
group, and Ralph captures current issues and everyday life of
the specifier in a thought-provoking way. Remarkably, this
month's issue is number 47, approaching the half-century mark.
Archive issues can be found on the
Technical Articles
page. Scip.com is happy to present this body of work to
its visitors. |

DID YOU KNOW?
SCIP
HOSTS THREE FORUMS ON Csinet
There are three forums
officially hosted by SCIP on CSINet, all moderated by William Pegues,
Affiliate. To make it easy
for you to access them, the headings of each paragraph below
are unique links that take you directly to that forum.
Specifications Discussion:
This area is a place to post and look
for topics related to writing specifications – techniques,
styles, formats. Discuss the coordination with consultants
and the impact of requests for specific language,
exceptions, and potential liability consequences.
Construction Practices Discussion:
The good, the bad, and the
ugly sometimes happens to all of us. Look here for
construction contract administration topics.
Products/Systems Discussion:
Have you found something
new and interesting? Is there a product about which you are
unfamiliar? Ask or relate your experiences with different
systems and find out what practices are typical in different
regions of the country.
