Simply expand or collapse text to build upon the information you produced in the previous phase. Master text available for brief outline specs consists primarily of descriptions of the major products in each section. Use outline specs in the early schematic design stage to establish basic identification and general product quality.
Outline specs are organized and printed by division, and paragraphs are not numbered. As the focus is primarily on major products in each section, you can use outline specs to inform owners of the most important product selection decisions. Expands outline specs to reveal more text and produce compact, three-part specification sections that include more basic decisions. Use short-form specs as a design. Part one typically only includes items such as submittals and warranty, part two includes more detail on products but no manufacturer names , and part three includes basic installation requirements.
Short-form specs are appropriate during design development—or as final construction specs for simple, uncomplicated projects. These specs are printed by section and include paragraph numbering. All master text is available in full spec mode, which consists of full length, three-part specs for final construction documents.
Like short-form specs, full specs are organized and printed by section and use numbering. Part one may include related requirements, referenced standards, quality assurance, field conditions, etc.
Part two includes all available detail on the products, including manufacturer and brand names where applicable. Part three includes all available detail on execution, such as examination, preparation, tolerances, cleaning, startup, etc. Rather than building specifications from the ground up with the master text collapsed, you may also begin with a fully developed office master project.
Collapse your master to produce pre-edited outline specifications, expand it partially to produce short-form specs and expand fully for construction documents.
Edit at any phase to adapt your master specifications to your specific project. Never again will you have to manually replace hundreds of individual word processing files that are slowly updated over a six- or seven-year span. Updated information merges with your existing data seamlessly. Customized text, changes and additions to the master text will never be overwritten or deleted. Set up automatic downloads or schedule updates at the frequency of your choice.
SpecLink Tutorial: How It Works SpecLink is intuitive specification-writing software that helps you make more informed decisions, faster, through every phase of the design process. Request Tutorial. Editing in SpecLink SpecLink allows you to: Add, modify or delete text without affecting the master content Quickly create new paragraphs and sections using built-in templates Export your specs to word processing or PDF files.
If the spec needs to change over the course of a project, you simply turn the needed paragraphs back on. This is so much simpler than the other way! I would strongly recommend SpecLink for any design firm—large or small. Associate, Applied Engineering Services. Edit by inclusion Editing in SpecLink is fast and easy.
Customizable SpecLink allows you to customize your projects without affecting the master. Notes Save time and enhance collaboration by including notes within your document.
