Why buy our new home building specifications template?
Compiling a specification from scratch is a time-consuming and laborious process, which is why architects and designers charge a fortune to do it. So take advantage of our hard work, and save both time and money by adapting our new home specification template for your own needs!
Can I download it in PDF format?
We offer the template in Word document format so it can be easily edited. You can save your finished version as a PDF and issue to contractors when ready (and in fact we encourage you to issue it in this format, so that you keep track of changes).
Can you send the template to me in Mac / Open Office / any other format?
No, but you can download the Word version and convert it yourself – many other programmes will open this format and there is also an abundance of free converters online.
Can I use the template for converting a dwelling into a HMO / a shop into flats / specifying an extension to my home?
Yes you can, although you should bear in mind that it is written for a new build dwelling, so there will be sections which are not applicable and should be removed.
