Whether you need clear-concise-complete-correct project specifications, assistance implementing integrated master specifications, or any of our other services, we are here to help. The specifications, along with the drawings, are the Architect's "Instruments of Service" to the Owner, and are for the Contractor's use in procurement and construction, and the Facility Manager's use for the life of the building.
