e-SPECS Selected by NBBJ as Enterprise Specification
Solution
Portland, Maine - October 15, 2009 - InterSpec Inc., the industry
leading provider of BIM integrated construction specification software
and services, today announced NBBJ has selected its patented e-SPECS
solutions as the firm's Building Information Modeling (BIM) Specification
Solution. NBBJ is a fully integrated, design firm providing services
in architecture, planning, interior design and graphics. NBBJ specializes
in environments for healthcare, corporate commercial, mixed use, higher
education, civic, science and sports sectors. Each of the firm's nine
global offices has embraced BIM and uses it to enhance the design
services and delivery available to clients.
InterSpec's patented e-SPECS software solutions automate the preparation
of construction specifications and selection of products and materials
that are incorporated into commercial construction projects. InterSpec's
e-SPECS products are used by thousands of architects, engineers and
construction professionals to help them keep their construction drawings
and specifications in sync while reducing the overall cost of development.
"We're proud to include NBBJ to our list of industry leading AEC
firms recognizing the need for improvements in coordinated construction
documents while saving time and money in doing so," said Michael Brennan,
CEO of InterSpec. "e-SPECS provides these firms with centralized management
of proprietary specification content including contractual language,
owner requirements, product preferences, and lessons learned. e-SPECS
is leading the way in providing the efficiency and intelligence to
integrate firm preferences with the leading design applications such
as Autodesk Revit based BIM applications."
Jeff Slane, a Principal at NBBJ, explains "As an industry leading
firm, NBBJ is implementing seamless and efficient technology and applications
across the enterprise. Synchronized BIM models and specifications
along with central management of an NBBJ firm master confirmed our
choice to implement e-SPECS. Centralizing our firm's intellectual
property will help to reduce our data management and maintenance effort.
e-SPECS enables us to create smart checklist and mapping preferences
ensuring our projects include the information needed both with Revit
BIM integration and as a standalone spec writing application."
NBBJ evaluated e-SPECS at two main offices on actual in-house projects.
The Autodesk Revit BIM coordinated specifications and view/mark-up
access to those specifications within Revit demonstrated coordination
that could help reduce RFIs and Addendums in design documents. NBBJ
will be managing their firm's specification masters based on MasterSpec
along with VA masters using e-SPECS Designer office master management
application. All offices will access firm design preferences centrally
managed on industry standard Microsoft SQL servers. NBBJ is leveraging
InterSpec training and services to facilitate the most efficient and
cost effective means of integrating their construction document process.
