The National Frame Building Association, Lawrence, Kan., a non-profit organization representing the post-frame building industry, has developed a Model Guide Specification for post-frame building systems. The document, titled “Guide Specifications for Post-Frame Building Systems,” has been posted for download at www.nfba.org. The specification is intended to be used for the development of an office master specification or in the preparation of specifications for a particular project.
