WHAT IS SPEC BUILDER?

Spec Builder is much more than just a spec tool – it is the most technologically advanced specification software available to the market; it is a central system that is a one-stop, instantly accessible resource to create, view and manage ALL project specifications. It is an end-to-end specification system which covers a full range of processes from sales consultations and technical specification creation through to project price quotations and contractor tendering.

How the Spec Builder Tool Works

Spec Builder is a web based specification creation and management system; it works by streamlining the creation of a specification via an app or directly via the web terminal. The system can be pre-loaded with logic and paragraphs allowing you to quickly create detailed specifications.

Three Easy Steps

The web based system can be used to create product or project specifications. The options are driven by logic to help create a base specification which carries all the images and information; this can then be uploaded directly into the web portal from any location.

Within the web portal, you can convert the project into a live specification. This will be based on the information taken at the survey stage and the system will offer a range of products, materials and paragraphs to assign to the specification; from this a specification can be automatically created quickly, easily and consistently.

The specification can be sent out from the portal directly to the customer or any assigned contractors allowing management of the project. The system also supports the tendering process right through to assigning the winning contractor.
