Anyone written specs for projects in Australia? Am trying to learn if they use CSI format, ASTM standards etc. As always, thanks in advance for your input! |

Robin, you should also contact Peter Kelly, a SCIP member in Melbourne. His work includes some of the tallest buildings in Melbourne. David Lorenzini, FCSI, CCS Architectural Resources Co. |

I agree with Ron a Field Trip to Melbourne sounds like a great idea, perhaps Colin can organize it as the first ever 4specs.com specwriter exchange, some of theirs for some of ours. |

Robin I set up the Australian office of the UK spec consultancy I used to be part of. We set up an entire master, using ANZ (Australia/New Zealand) standards with a liberal sprinkling of British Standards. There is a national master specification, called NatSpec, but is it not the greatest... you can check it out at http://www.natspec.com.au If we can help in any way, please let me know. Lars |
