Challenges with Spec Writing for Building Systems

I’ve been working on specifications for a new commercial project and finding it tough to balance clarity and technical detail. The last contractor I spoke with mentioned that overly complex specs can lead to misunderstandings down the line. Has anyone else run into similar issues, or have tips on how to streamline the writing without sacrificing accuracy?
