Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Design specifications are more difficult to write than performance specifications since they have to include precise details that are created by the engineer writing the design specifications. Design specifications include detailed descriptions on how an item or a project is to be built by a contractor. They include specific standards that describe precise measurements, tolerances, descriptions of the materials to be used, inspection requirements, and the quality that has to be maintained during construction (Bockroth, 2000). Performance specifications are easier for contractors to implement than design specifications because they mainly focus on providing a description of the end result and not on how the end results have to be achieved during construction. Performance specifications provide contractors with latitude in the manner in which they achieve the end results.
