The study determined the quality of specification provision in sanitary appliance works, to determine compliance for quality assurance. Convenience sampling was employed where 100 questionnaires were administered to seek the perception of various professionals on specification practices in Kaduna State. Findings confirmed Architects as the main source of specification information (with 33.33% of responses); freedom from rework and dispute are more common benefits of compliance to specifications (with 48.61% of responses). Thus, most professionals are aware of the specification benefits/importance given in any construction project. It was concluded that the majority of respondents show that Code of Practice and reference to previous specifications are the factors that improve adequacy of specification. It is therefore recommended that the application of specification provisions in the Nigerian Building industry should be enforced by relevant authorities using the Code of Practice or other relevant standards.
