Our focus is on enjoying the work that we do, learning and growing professionally,
while working with others to create great architecture.

Working with architecture firms for more than nine years, we provide architectural specifications and project manuals, cost estimating, product and material research, and project and document review.  We also produce baseline specifications for owners, industry groups and manufacturers for use by other design professionals.
Proactive engagement with our clients during design and detailing stages is how we improve the process, through the questions we ask and coordination we encourage.  We help guide inquiry and reveal opportunities via our document coordination reviews.  Combining a standard series of regular, focused review meetings, along with online and interactive coordination tools, allows us to remain aligned with the design team throughout all phases of design, documentation, bidding and construction.

Specifications

Production, editing and coordination of architectural, interior design, front-end, owners’ and consultants’ specifications, and publication of Project Manuals

Cost Estimating

Quantity take-offs and cost projection, including realistic contingency, for documentation-stage assessment and confirmation of budget

Product and Material Research

Evaluation of your project’s specific attributes in order to suggest appropriate systems, materials or products for assessment, and introduce alternative options

Document Review

A fresh set of eyes on your project at any stage, helping confirm coordination and avoid difficulties later, using our in-office 'red mark' review process

Discussed on our Process page are our thoughts on the role of specifications in a variety of important subjects: Accessibility, Equity & Diversity, Sustainability, Materials Transparency, Mass Timber, Product & Material Research, Changing Patterns of Design, Delegated Design & Basis-of-Design, CMGC & Design-Build, Beauty in Details, Education & Mentoring, Personal Service, Specification Tools, Collaboration Tools, Content Basis, Learning and Teaching, Photography and Traveling.
