Question

Explain the various services provided in a commercial market building and mention its specifications and standards.

Answer 1

Any building selected to house Commission departments must conform in every respect
to the public-buildings legislation in force in the country where it is located.
This document reflects those needs. It is a complex document that can serve a wide variety of
purposes, viz.:
– a manual for the use of the various departments of the Commission,
– a directory for general use, and
– a reference document for use in formulating tender specifications.
The complexity of buildings policy derives from the need to reconcile four different factors:
1. economic interests, looked after by administrators and executives who must ensure that
budgetary procedures are correctly followed,
2. technical interests, the responsibility of specialists, who must correctly assess the quality
of technical services and conformity with technical and safety standards,
3. the interests of the users for whom the building is intended, who are entitled to an
acceptable level of comfort and safety,
4. environmental interests.
Following are the three most common types of building construction specifications used in commercial projects:
1) Performance Specifications
2) Prescriptive Specifications
3) Proprietary Specifications
