Your NATSPEC Branded Worksection is a pre-edited specification template that can be used to build a relationship with a specifier, promote brand awareness and reduce costs associated with preparing performance specifications that a subcontractor uses to price the work.

These are the Branded Worksection features that were most valuable to Silver Thomas Hanley:

• Comprehensive classification system:
  • Branded Worksections are part of NATSPEC’s recognised national classification system for use on construction projects of all types and sizes. The national classification system helps specifiers to organise specification content, and helps specification users to find the information they are looking for.
• Indispensable documentation tool:
  • Documentation sets out the specifier’s design decisions in a precise way, complementing the drawings and facilitating communication, so that everyone involved in the project knows what the end goal is.
• A foundation of information:
  • NATSPEC worksections include references to the National Construction Code, Australian Standards and other relevant information to ensure the specified designs align with current industry regulations, standards and practices.
• Product performance and characteristics:
  • Along with all the same information as generic NATSPEC worksections, Branded Worksections include the unique options, characteristics and performance qualities of the featured products.
• Easy-to-follow format:
  • All NATSPEC worksections, including Branded Worksections, are published in a consistent format for clarity and ease of use.
• Contribution to well-informed design decisions:
  • The combined benefits of a comprehensive national classification system, documented product characteristics and relevant regulatory information are well-informed design decisions set out in high-quality documentation.
• Decreased risk due to variations:
  • Branded Worksections reduce the potential for variations as they clearly set out the product characteristics and requirements, therefore both limiting variation options and reducing risk if variations are selected.
• A systematic approach to specifications:
  • As part of the NATSPEC National Building Specification, Branded Worksections fit seamlessly into project documentation, providing structure and clarity.

Your Branded Worksection is a tool that you can use to increase brand awareness, develop and build relationships, and influence product selection. You can use it in presentations to clients and as a template to create a specification from the brief for your clients.
