Efficient Specification Creation and Workflow

SpecLink is a cloud-based tool created by Building Systems Design that streamlines workflow, improves collaboration and increases productivity by bringing stakeholders in the building design process together through a common specification document. The process of creating a building specification is simplified by presenting a comprehensive, generic specification template that allows users to specify by simply “turning on” content to be included in the specification and selecting the manufacturer’s products and options.

SpecLink allows users to:

• Add, modify, or delete text without affecting the master content
• Create new paragraphs or sections in the specification using built-in templates
• Create custom templates
• Export a specification to a word processing or PDF file format

SpecLink is unique in the market in that it enables “editing by selection”, which can reduce spec production time by up to 70%. There are over 820 sections already included in SpecLink which can be expanded or collapsed, and included or not included in a spec, to provide outline, short form, and full construction specs, without the need to start over at each phase of the project. There are also hundreds of links out to manufacturer websites enabling specifiers to quickly get access to detailed drawings and brochures on products, AIA educational sessions, and more in a single click.

Currently, SpecLink has over 23,000 users across North America.
