ABSTRACT:
A computer system is disclosed for preparing a complete set of architectural specifications for constructing a building, including, if desired, sets of instructions that will be used by personnel during preparation of construction drawings and during construction. A specifier uses brief symbolic characters representative of individual phrases from a large information repository called a Master Phrase Catalog, to mark decisions and phrase selections in code on an order form designed to facilitate the specifier's task. The information in the Master Phrase Catalog includes construction materials, techniques, reference information, testing and industry standards which are correlated with instructional information and work assignments for various groups of people. The specifier uses only a limited number of commands to completely specify a project. The code is fed into a computer which has all the information in the Master Phrase Catalog stored on permanent record file, called the specification data file, with an index file correlating the specifier's code with the phrases that will eventually make up the specification. The computer is programmed to edit the input code for errors, prepare a listing of the input specifier's code and prepare an architectural specification from the specification data file together with a table of contents and listing of errors, if any. If called for by the specifier, sets of instructions, correlated to the particular phrases selected from the Master Phrase Catalog and stored in permanent memory will be printed out as separate booklets.
