What Smartspec users are saying
“
Smartspec helps us present complicated specifications in a simple and clean format. Technical information is thoroughly written and always up to date with current standards. The additive nature keeps the specifications to an appropriate length and still ensure that nothing is missed. The best part is that we create consistent and accurate product specifications, no matter which team member is preparing the specification.
define ARCHITECTURE has been using Smartspec for many years now for our building consent specification writing. Not only does it save time over writing specifications from a blank page, the ability to import specifications from a huge range of manufacturers ensures that our product choices are named in the specifications. This is massively important when dealing with councils.
Smartspec’s approach makes so much sense. You only enter information that’s relevant to your project’s conditions, and the compliance information is always up to date. That means less risk for us, and the consenting process is much faster and easier. With Smartspec, we have cut our specification writing time by 70-80%.
Smartspec is so easy to use, I find it better than any system I have previously used, and the support is fantastic.
I highly rate Smartspec, it offers a clear and simple approach ensuring the right product is specified for the right situation.

Smartspec’s approach makes so much sense. You only enter information that’s relevant to your project’s conditions, and the compliance information is always up to date. That means less risk for us, and the consenting process is much faster and easier. We have also cut our specification compiling/writing time by 70-80%. What used to be a good couple of hours is now a 20-30min process.
