Project SPEC

Feasibility study which, together with specification authors, federations and the broader construction sector, aims to determine which criteria the specification of the future must meet.

Lennart Luchtens

This study, commissioned by Buildwise, aims, together with all stakeholders in the sector, to formulate the best solution for drafting and structuring the needs within a construction project (the specifications).

In the project that will follow this feasibility study, a common solution will be developed, based on the recommendations of the study, and supported by the entire sector.
