Why Choose MasterSpec?

Conforms to CSI Formats

MasterSpec includes both MasterFormat™ 04 and MasterFormat™ 95 Section numbers and titles in one set of specification files and follows PageFormat™, SectionFormat™ and the CSI Project Resource Manual: Manual of Practice published by the Construction Specifications Institute. MasterSpec® also coordinates with Standard General Condition Documents published by EJCDC and AIA.

Written by Practicing Professional Specifiers

MasterSpec® is written and maintained by nationally recognized, practicing architectural, civil, mechanical and electrical specifiers who collectively represent over 125 years experience in preparing project specifications for projects in all disciplines. Information gathered by MasterSpec® specifiers from actual project use, practical experiences, and contractor’s questions, help you reduce errors and questions during construction.

Global Updating Keeps MasterSpec® Current

MasterSpec® continuously updates its section content globally throughout the entire MasterSpec® library. When a code or standard referenced in MasterSpec® is updated, every affected section in all MasterSpec® libraries is updated at the same time. Comprehensive Summary of Changes reports keep MasterSpec® users informed about all of the changes made in MasterSpec® whenever new and updated information is published. This philosophy greatly simplifies update management for MasterSpec® users.

Less is Best!

MasterSpec® doesn't require you learn a new software application. MasterSpec® gives you expert guide specifications designed to communicate clearly, minimize RFIs and your editing time. MasterSpec® gives you help where you need it. Notes to the Specifier and other aids are in the Section where you need them, NOT in a separate help file.
