Definition of "Technical"

According to the dictionary, “technical” means belonging to an art or science. I believe that “technical” is the non-flexible aspects in a field, practice, or activity. Technical directions must be done in a certain way; they aren’t open to interpretation.

Within my profession, Interior Design, these terms mean the same thing as they do to me personally. When writing proposals and communicating with clients, certain technical aspects must be followed and cannot be changed or altered. For example, proposals must include which direction the designer plans to take and an estimate on how much it costs. If the proposal doesn’t include this information, it is incomplete.
