SIX STEPS TO PRECISE AND RELIABLE ARCHITECTURAL SPECIFICATIONS

↓

  • We begin with a discussion to understand your project’s goals and requirements. I then conduct a thorough independent review of all provided drawings. Based on this review, I send a detailed proposal and agreement that outlines the scope of work, timeline, and terms to ensure everything aligns before moving forward.

  • I conduct a thorough review of every detail in the architectural drawings, creating a comprehensive list of required products, materials, and any coordination questions that need further clarification. This project-specific list is then sent to the architect for their input, ensuring all necessary information is gathered before moving forward.

  • I work closely with the architect to keep pace with design changes and ensure that the specifications reflect the most up-to-date information. Additionally, I facilitate coordination with consultants, including engineers and other specialists, helping them with formatting and resolving any overlaps in products and materials across disciplines, ensuring consistency and preventing discrepancies throughout the project.

  • I create detailed, clear, and comprehensive specifications that reflect your design intent while meeting industry standards and regulations. I incorporate your firm's latest standards, current testing requirements, and MasterFormat’s AIA-suggested language based on the latest industry trends, in addition to the unique, project-specific requirements.

  • I compile all architectural sections, including Division 01 general requirements, as well as the engineers’ and other specialists' specification sections, into a single, organized PDF. The document includes a cover and table of contents, ready for duplication or distribution via a secure link.

  • Any necessary revisions due to pricing, permitting, or owner comments are incorporated, and the specifications are issued for construction. Following this, any addenda revisions or updates are made as needed to ensure the project stays on track and up to date.
