e-SPECS Designer
Manage your Firm's Design Preference More Efficiently
e-SPECS
Designer enables firms to customize the AIA MASTERSPEC® to suit
their design firm preferences as well as integrate custom Office Master
sections. Firms reusing specs from old projects or trying to maintain
their own set of office masters with the continuously updated industry
codes, products and manufacturers need a tool to centralize this information
for everyone in the firm to use. Firms managing office masters for
various building types (schools, healthcare, LEED projects, retail,
etc.) can centralize the data in the e-SPECS SQL Server reducing the
management and maintenance of this critical data and letting the e-SPECS
CAD and BIM automation choose the appropriate preferences for each
design type.
Firms
are also looking to better utilize their dedicated specifiers and
distributing the spec writing to Project Architects or at least the
first draft revew. In order to do this, the spec writing tools must
easy to use and automatically include the design firm preferences
to provide consistent high quality documents. Manual coordination
and tasks inevitably introduces errors, omissions and increases the
time and cost required to coordinate and collaborate. Centralization,
Coordination and Collaboration through data management
and automation is becoming a necessity for firms to be able to utilize
resources more efficiently while reducing costs. Specifiers should
not be repeating mundane tasks and instead should centralize the knowldege
for automation and coordination throughout the firm.
The
return on investment can be seen in the following:
 |
Decreased
RFIs, addendums and change orders |
|
Increased
repeat business with owners |
|
Reduction
of time and cost in managing the intellectual property (IP) |
|
Reduction
of time and cost preparing Spec Manuals |
e-SPECS
Designer is used to create or modify Checklist Tags and the associated
mappings to paragraphs, optional text selections, input fields and
other objects. Submittals, products. manufacturers and preferred language
are just some of the preferences setup using e-SPECS Designer.
Custom
Office Masters can be integrated into e-SPECS ready for automation
from their BIM and CAD Drawings using InterSpec's new AutoTagging
services. Hundreds of sections can be integrated with custom checklists
and editing functions as well as be linked to BIM and CAD objects
in a fraction of the time required previously. Firms managing multiple
masters can reduce their maintenance efforts by integrating these
masters allowing the e-SPECS automation to determine which language
to use and which to filter out. Even Division 1 and other sections
not linked to a BIM or CAD object can be automated and coordinated.
