NATSPEC informs subscribers with a range of instructional guides, references, newsletters, guidance notes and reports on current construction related issues.

RESOURCES
Domestic Online is an on-line specification editor that significantly streamlines the specification writing process for domestic projects. It includes the same content as BUILDING Domestic but editing is done by choosing items from a selection tree rather than directly editing a Word file. Changes to your specification can also be made more quickly; you simply select new items from the selection tree and deselect items no longer required; your specification is updated automatically!

Domestic Online is for building designers specifying site and building works for residential projects. It also includes worksections for mechanical, hydraulic and electrical services design and installation.

 Upgrading from a Single Project Subscription to an Annual Subscription

After upgrading your subscription, specifications created under the Single Project Subscription will behave the same way as those created under an Annual Subscription. That is, you will be able to create editable Word documents. Note though, for a document created under a Single Project Subscription to become editable, it will need to be downloaded from Domestic Online again.
