Guiding the Spec
Guide specifications for manufacturers.
A guide spec earns its keep when a specifier can use it without rewriting it. Architectural Specifications Consultants (ASC) writes guide specs and offers the service openly to all manufacturers.
What you get
Four things every ASC guide spec carries.
Correct section structure.
CSI three-part format, correct section numbering, and language that sits where a specifier expects to find it.
Performance language that holds.
Claims tied to test standards and cycle counts rather than adjectives.
Survives the "or equal."
Descriptive language written so the substitution conversation is a fair one.
Written by a working spec desk.
The same people writing project hardware specifications write the guide spec, which means it reads the way the audience reads.
How it works
Three steps to a finished document.
Send the product data.
Cut sheets, test reports, listings, and the sections you want covered.
Review the draft.
ASC drafts, you mark it up, we settle the language together.
Take it to market.
You receive the finished guide specification in editable format for your reps and your website.
Start here
Bring the openings to the desk.
Send the drawings, the schedule, or the question. ASC will tell you what the specification needs.
