    3. Arup Appointed in November 2001 to carry out the development of the NPQS. Drafting of the architectural and engineering specifications Review and incorporate the best international and local practices to improve the productivity and quality of construction works in Singapore Provide a user friendly framework for widespread acceptance of the NPQS Providing the framework for the web based application WHAT are we doing and what is our goal?WHAT are we doing and what is our goal?

It is probably worth describing what a true performance spec is, because I suspect the Singapore understanding is different. The technical specifications, importantly, are the qualitative statement of the design requirements. There are really 3 principal forms of specification. - Prescriptive is the traditional form and is commonly used here in Singapore. In this form the materials and workmanship are described in some detail. - Performance specs are a more recent development. They set out the required end performance and the means by which this can be assessed. The skill and experience of the specialist are used to determine how best to achieve the required performance or results [more in ICIS paper] There are four aspects in the definition that are essential to the meaning of performance specifying: - required results indicate that all desired criteria must be identified, - meeting stipulated criteria indicates that characteristics or attributes must be chosen and criteria established to fully define expected performance, - verifiable indicates that the product or system must be capable of measurement, test, evaluation, and assurance that it will meet stipulated criteria, and - free from unnecessary process limitations indicated that only essential restrictions should be placed upon the product or system. - Nomination is commonly used for a particular product or system.I took these from section 2.2 and 2.3 of the report.
