Independent specifications and building enclosure consulting for Architects. We streamline documentation, improve coordination, and reduce risk through integrated spec writing, peer review, and enclosure expertise—helping Architects deliver successful projects that satisfy their clients, fulfill their vision, and maximize profitability.

construction Specifications

We begin each project with a Systems and Performance Description (SPD) organized in UniFormat, a system that supports early cost estimating and is easily understood by Owners, Architects, and Contractors. By consolidating essential information into systems and assemblies, the SPD fosters clear communication, faster decision-making, and tighter coordination across all disciplines.

From there, we develop MasterFormat specifications informed by extensive project experience and valuable insight from our network of trusted building product manufacturers. Our team supports any phase of project delivery, from early design through procurement and construction, helping to ensure consistent, well-coordinated, and technically sound documentation.

peer review

Meticulous coordination between drawings and specifications is central to our process. As independent specifiers, we bring a fresh, unbiased perspective to drawing review, asking targeted questions that reveal inconsistencies, omissions, and potential conflicts. Our formal peer reviews emphasize completeness, code compliance, and constructability, providing a cost-effective way to reduce RFIs, change orders, and schedule impacts. Ultimately, projects run more efficiently, with fewer errors and greater profitability for the team.

building enclosure consulting

We provide expertise in building science, roofing, waterproofing, and cladding systems to help Architects define assemblies, evaluate options through computer modeling, and resolve complex interface detailing for air, water, vapor, and thermal control layers. Early and continuous collaboration helps reduce the risk of moisture problems, performance issues, and costly redesign.
