Portland,
ME and Salt Lake City, UT (January 3, 2005) -- InterSpec, Inc. (InterSpec)
and Architectural Computer Services, Inc. (ARCOM) announced today
an agreement to integrate MASTERSPEC® with InterSpec's e-SPECS®
specification automation software and to work together to further

software to InterSpec's customers, while providing ARCOM the opportunity
to offer e-SPECS' automation capabilities to MASTERSPEC Licensed Users.
"This agreement will provide improved integration, automation, and
error checking," said ARCOM President Edward F. Smith, D.Arch, FAIA,
CSI, "and will facilitate the integration of construction specifications
with the leading building information modeling programs in the AEC
industry. All versions of MASTERSPEC will be available for integration
and automation, making project manual preparation even easier."
"InterSpec's
e-SPECS software automates the preparation of construction specifications
for architects and engineers, saving them time and money while ensuring
that the construction drawings agree with the specifications," said
Michael Brennan, Chief Executive Officer of InterSpec. "MASTERSPEC
is an especially powerful combination with our product because of
its comprehensive product and material specifications and its specification
tutorials. We are very excited about this opportunity to work with
ARCOM to further automate this industry, helping architects and engineers
reduce errors and omissions, reduce costs, and increase their bottom
line."
