Library
Load test spec templates
Compression, tension, lateral and bi-directional test sections, filled in from Geotechware.
Repair + restoration
Concrete, masonry and waterproofing repair sections written for existing buildings.
Review
Special inspection statements
Inspection tables built from the sections you specified.
Submittal review
Log submittals against the spec, with review comments tied to the clause they cite.
Sealed issue sets
Issue a dated, sealed project manual as PDF and Word.
How it works
Four steps, one record.
1
Pick your sections
Start from the library, or from a project template for the building type.
2
Link the design
Values like test loads, shaft sizes and concrete strength come in from the other suites.
3
Edit in plain language
Our own repair language and numbering, with every change tracked.
4
Issue and review
Seal the project manual, then log submittals against it.
Linked values
Change the design, and the spec follows.
When the shaft gets bigger or the test load goes up, every section that cites it updates and gets flagged for your review.
- Design values flow in from the engineering suites, from foundations to repairs
- Every changed clause is flagged before you issue
- Special inspection tables rebuild from the sections you kept

Questions
Common questions.
Whose numbering does it use?
Our own. Spectechware uses its own section numbering and its own repair language, written from scratch.
What is in the free tier?
Twenty-five sections on one project, so you can write a real spec before you pay.
Can architects use it without the engineering suites?
Yes. The library stands alone. Linked values are there when the engineering suites are in use.
Who writes the sections?
Engineers and specifiers write and review each section, and every section is dated with its last review.
