What type of specification would be excluded from the technical specifications?

The type of specification that would be excluded from the technical specifications is the general conditions. General conditions outline the administrative and procedural elements of a project rather than the specific technical aspects of the materials and workmanship involved. They provide the framework for how the project will be managed, addressing topics such as contract roles, payment procedures, and project schedules, which are essential for understanding the contractual obligations but do not fall under the technical specifications of the fire alarm system.

Technical specifications primarily focus on detailed descriptions of the products and systems to be used (such as equipment, materials, and methods of execution), ensuring that all parties have a clear understanding of the technical requirements for the project. Thus, while general conditions are critical for the overall management of the project, they do not detail the specific technical parameters related to fire alarm systems and would, therefore, be excluded from that category.
