Our Written Documents

We gear our specifications towards two of the toughest audiences likely to ever use them: the public bid contractor with experience converting deficiencies into change orders, and the 30-year-old architect who’s never before participated in construction administration. Consequently our documents better preserve your design and strengthen your position once construction is under way regardless of who uses them. And while we concede they might contain a little more information than at first you may think you need, we’re confident you won’t regret the extra effort we put forth once you’ve put our documents to the test.

When producing your specifications, we operate under the assumption that little things more than big things cause failures and other problems, which are also usually preceded by a series of events any one of which, if detected, could have prevented everything from going wrong. Accordingly, we pay intense attention to the smallest of details, and we work closely with your project teams to detect and disrupt such events so that little things don’t lead to undesired or unintended consequences.

And finally, the specifications we deliver to you are meticulously prepared with modern and effective contract language developed in collaboration with the nation’s leading authority on contract drafting, attorney Ken Adams, whom we retain to assist us in resolving language issues as they arise. This alliance has resulted in better documents that lead to fewer conflicts during construction. No other specifier or commercially-available master specification provider goes to such lengths to maintain and improve the quality of their documents.
