Building a Collaborative, Data-Driven Specification Program

About This Program

As specification writing evolves and the pace of project production increases, it’s more important than ever before to have a centralized system for managing office masters and project specifications. The right specification software can empower everyone involved in writing specifications while ensuring that your specification experts maintain visibility and control over the final output. A data-driven program can also significantly reduce the time spent on spec editing and formatting tasks that can be set, applied, and automated across multiple projects.
