What Do We Mean By
"Better Specifications"?
During Design:
We create specifications that are:
• Clear, concise, correct, and complete.
• Fully coordinated with your drawings.
• Delivered early so you have time to review before client submittals.Great specs aren’t boilerplate — they’re project-specific tools that back up the quality of your design and reduce liability risk.
During Bidding:
Stronger specs reduce contractor RFIs and addenda, making the bidding process smoother, less costly, and more predictable. They also lead to better bids, which helps you and your client feel more confident in selecting the right contractor for the job.
During Construction:
Specs that are professionally written and coordinated:
• Reduce the time spent reviewing submittals.
• Lower exposure to costly change orders.
• Help keep projects moving on schedule.In other words: fewer surprises, fewer disputes, and fewer headaches.
