PWD Specifications
The PWD Specifications are the standard rulebook for how construction and maintenance work is to be carried out across the Public Works Department. They give every branch of the department one complete, up-to-date and uniform set of specifications, so that the same work is done to the same standard everywhere in the State.
Why they matter
- Uniform quality: one common standard for all divisions and branches.
- Clear expectations: engineers and contractors work from the same specifications.
- Fewer disputes: a fixed reference for checking, measuring and approving work.
- Easier estimating: estimates and tenders can refer to standard specifications instead of writing new ones each time.
Where they apply
They apply to normal construction and maintenance works carried out by the Public Works Department.
When the work needs something different
If a work needs any deviation or alteration from these standard specifications, a specially drafted specification must be prepared and followed. Such a change can only be approved by the authority competent to accord technical sanction to the detailed estimate of that work.
