Automated Specification Writing

SpecWizard® (covered by a pending patent application) guides you through the selecting and configuring of a building product.
It then assembles a specification in the CSI 3-part Format,
based on the decisions you made when selecting and configuring the product.
You can then download the specification for your project and your office master.
