Simplifying the Specifications Process


About This Program

Limited scope project details are often referred to by a variety of terms – and created in just as many, often time consuming, different approaches. To date, there’s been no easy solution in the industry to create and maintain these.

Currently, firms go through the timely and manual effort to compile language and approximate formatting in Word, AutoCAD, Revit or other templates for each project so that they can “fit” the text to the architect’s required sheet size and title block.  We will look at best practices to simplify the process and ensure accurate, updated specifications.

Session Takeaways

  • We will highlight how to simplify the process to format specification content for drawing sheets
  • We will explore how to standardize and maintain a central project file that can be easily exported to short form, outline, full specs, or sheet specs
  • Participants will discover how to import specifications into Revit and AutoCAD to successfully integrate specs directly onto a drawing sheet
