Your NATSPEC

“The Australian Institute of Architects is proud to be a founder and owner of NATSPEC and continues to endorse the NATSPEC National Building Specification. NATSPEC, a not-for-profit organisation, maintains the national and comprehensive master specification on behalf of the Australian industry, with input from many of the Institute’s members, and reflects the latest national regulations and standards. NATSPEC’s regularly updated information reduces the risk of expensive litigation for designers and improves the communication with builders.”

“An architectural practice should have, amongst other things, three fundamental project control documents: its Integrated Management Manual,

the National Construction Code and NATSPEC.”

Tony Kemeny, Director, Gran Associates Australia

“NATSPEC is an integral part of my practice’s construction documentation process and one that we trust to achieve the quality we require.”

David Hillam, Australian Institute of Architects Chair, WA Practice Committee

“The quality and productivity of the building and construction industry is enhanced by the work of the National Building Specification (NATSPEC).”

Denita Wawn, Chief Executive Officer, Master Builders Australia

“NATSPEC is very important because it is a common language and what it does is, it creates a whole specification database for the elements we’re proposing to build. Essentially working through NATSPEC, it provides you with a full gamut of opportunities that you can potentially face so it acts as an aide-mémoire as well as working through the documentation.”

David Sutherland, Fender Katsalidis Architects

“Building surveyors gain significant confidence when a project has utilised a National Building Specification published by NATSPEC.”

Troy Olds, National President, Australian Institute of Building Surveyors
