Professional specifications that ensure compliance, optimize budgets, and deliver precision-engineered solutions for your architectural projects.
Our Approach
Complete hardware schedules, division 08 specifications, code compliance documentation, submittal reviews, and coordination with all project stakeholders.
Reduce change orders, eliminate scope gaps, ensure code compliance, optimize project budgets, and streamline the hardware procurement process.
Initial consultation, site assessment, specification development, stakeholder review, final documentation, and ongoing support through project completion.
How It Works
We begin with a thorough review of your architectural drawings, building codes, and project requirements. Our team analyzes door schedules, security needs, accessibility requirements, and fire-life safety considerations to establish a complete baseline for specification development.
Our experts create detailed hardware sets, complete CSI division specifications and detailed schedules. We coordinate with manufacturers, verify product availability, and ensure all specifications meet current code requirements including IBC, NFPA, ADA, and local jurisdiction standards.
We present specifications to your team, incorporate feedback, coordinate with contractors and installers, and provide complete documentation. Our support continues through submittal reviews, RFI responses, and on-site consultation during installation to ensure perfect execution.
