Performance-Based Specifications

Performance-Based Specifications focus on the expected results and outcomes of a project rather than prescribing detailed methods or materials. Instead of specifying exactly how to do something, they set clear performance goals or standards that the final product or system must meet. This approach allows contractors flexibility in choosing methods to achieve those goals, encouraging innovation and efficiency. It ensures that the final result performs as intended, such as durability, strength, or safety, giving clearer guarantees of quality and functionality without limiting technical expertise or creativity in how work is completed.
