Architect-Led,
Independent,
Uncompromised.
Specification Writing
We use our own, in-house developed Master Specifications, written for Australian projects, codes, and standards, and adaptable to international jurisdictions. Our Master Specifications are regularly maintained and updated to suit evolving industry requirements and project experience. We do not rely on third-party subscription content, manufacturer funding, or product incentives. Your project decisions remain aligned with the design intent, not sales agendas.
Bjorn Architecture prepares specifications that are clear, coordinated, and contractor-ready. As a licensed architectural practice in Western Australia, we understand the realities of construction—not just the paperwork.
We stay ahead of industry shifts, refining our master specifications to meet evolving materials and sustainability standards. We handle the wording to help your design get built as intended, without compromise.
Step 1
We perform a Coordination Assessment of your drawings and schedules, page by page, using our Coordination Checklist, ticking off the common (and not so common) materials, systems, finishes and contractual requirements unique to your project.
Step 2
We organise your specifications into Work Results sections, following an internationally recognised numbering system and industry-standard formatting, enabling consistent management of project information.
Step 3
We prepare a draft of your specification by editing our Master Specifications to suit your project.
Want to follow a different section numbering system? We can adjust the numbering to suit your needs.
Step 4
You review and provide your feedback to us. Then, we make adjustments for the final draft.
Need changes later? Our specifications are written so you stay in full control of your material selection.
Peer Reviews
We also offer peer reviews of your specifications, whether prepared by you or by someone else. More than just proofreading, we "think like a contractor" and review your drawings, schedules and specifications in conjunction before you issue them, and look for potential gaps in communicating your overall design intent.
