The NATSPEC Class 3 and 9c Reference Specification has been developed to provide a quality control tool for the construction of residential projects, including but not limited to, boarding houses, guest houses and residential care buildings.
The specification needs to be included in the construction documentation, or sale documentation, to make it a contractually binding requirement. When you purchase a fridge or motor car you choose the quality of your product. Building practitioners use the specification to instil good building practices. For building projects the discerning trust NATSPEC for quality control. It is the responsibility of the developer to employ suitably qualified designers to document the project specific requirements to support this reference specification and confirm that the requirements of this reference specification are suitable and appropriate to the project.
The NATSPEC Class 2 Reference Specification, also available from NATSPEC, should be used for Class 2 apartment developments.
