- City Engineering and Building Surveyors Department (AG-0061) in the period 01/01/1928 to 01/01/1936

The specifications set out the work to be performed and the materials to be supplied and used by the contractors who successfully tendered for the work. The signed contracts are contained in Goods, Works and Services Contracts (AS-0065).

Most of the specifications in this series were numbered with a job number allocated by the Architects from Architects' Job Cards (AS-0803). This number appears on the specification and the plans. However, the earlier items in this series (from 1-27) had no such job numbers and were allocated numbers by the Archives Section.

The earliest specification with a job number in this series is number 586. Most of the earlier specifications no longer appear to be extant.Relationship summaryCONTROLLED BY: Architects Job Cards AS-0803 (01/01/1885)
