Contract specifications include plans, diagrams, and special technical conditions.
They do not include special administrative conditions.
As-built means what is actually constructed as opposed to that which was planned.
Benchmark refers to the starting set-out position from which control marks are
derived.

before they can report credits from assessment against unit standards or deliver courses
of study leading to that assessment.
Industry Training Organisations must be granted consent to assess against standards by
NZQA before they can register credits from assessment against unit standards.
Providers and Industry Training Organisations, which have been granted consent and
which are assessing against unit standards must engage with the moderation system that
applies to those standards.
Requirements for consent to assess and an outline of the moderation system that applies
