ЁЯФ╣ F. Specification & SOR – One-liners
- Specification defines = Quality of work
- Detailed specification used for = Rate analysis
- SOR prepared by = CPWD / State PWD
- SOR ensures = Uniform rates
- Contingencies provided for = Unforeseen items
- Contingencies ≈ 3–5%
- Work-charged staff paid from = Project cost
