FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WLC Architects, Inc. Selects e-SPECS to Help Reduce Production
Time and Improve Quality.
August 12, 2005, Portland, ME - InterSpec, Inc. ("InterSpec")
announced today that its e-SPECS® construction specification program
has been selected by WLC Architects, Inc. to manage the preparation
of their project specification manuals. WLC Architects, Inc. is a
full service architectural firm providing professional design services
for educational, academic, corporate, entertainment, transportation,
religious and civic projects, with offices in Rancho Cucamonga, Folsom
and Emeryville, California. They are employing e-SPECS to improve
the efficiencies and quality of their project specifications while
allowing more projects to be completed in a shorter time frame. They
have trained over 70 architects and project managers on the e-SPECS
software.
e-SPECS automates the preparation of construction specifications
by extracting the product and material requirements directly from
the CAD/BIM design application instantly updating the project specifications
to the requirements of the building model. e-SPECS integrates the
entire project team into the specification development process streamlining
the document coordination process and reducing reliance on inefficient
word processing systems. As updates and changes in the design drawing
model are made, those changes are synchronized and updated into the
e-SPECS project. The automation and management solutions enable reduction
in time and costs in design, improved communication and access to
current specification information resulting in a reduction in coordination
issues, change orders, addendums and RFIs.
"e-SPECS is being deployed at each of our three office locations
to enable our studio architects and project managers to automate the
development of construction specifications from the information contained
in our building models", said Donald Rice, Architect, AIA, CSI,
Senior Associate with WLC Architects, Inc. "We needed to be able
to improve our design efficiencies and coordination efforts in order
to be able to do more projects in less time. Utilizing e-SPECS will
allow us to achieve that goal. e-SPECS will integrate our firm's office
master specifications and link those preferences to our design drawings.
e-SPECS will also reduce the need to print copies of draft specs for
redlining and markups as now the design team has immediate access
to the current version of the specification. This improvement in efficiency,
reduction in costs and improvement in the quality of our designs will
allow us to provide superior results to our clients, and increase
our workload without the need to expand our staff."
"Our success depends on our customer's successes", said
Michael Brennan, InterSpec's CEO. "We are proud to help customers
like WLC Architects, Inc. grow their business using our e-SPECS solutions.
They quickly understood the value of the design automation, workflow
efficiencies and improvement in quality that e-SPECS can bring to
their firm."
