What we do

Product and specification consulting, start to finish.

We join projects during schematic design and stay through contract administration, writing the sections, reviewing the submittals, and walking the site.

01

Product consultation

Product selection reasoned against the room, the user, the maintenance budget, and the service life. Performance takes priority over brand loyalty, and we say plainly when a premium line is wrong for a space that takes hard daily use.

  • Product reviews and product research
  • Presentations to the architectural community
  • Cut sheets, product data, and technical literature
  • Samples and finish comparisons

Specification support

Door schedules built from your floor plans. Open, competitive hardware specifications. Toilet accessory sections. MasterFormat sections written and reviewed, with code compliance checked alongside the design team and the owner.

Budget and estimating

Pre-construction estimating and budget parameters set early enough to protect design intent, so the scope reaching bid day resembles the scope you drew.

  • Budget parameters by product category
  • First-cost and service-life comparisons

Engagement

How engagement usually starts

01

Send the drawings or the question. A floor plan, a program, or a single product problem is enough to begin.

02

We respond with written product reasoning, budget parameters, and draft specification language.

03

Through submittal review, field walk-throughs, and closeout, we stay on the project.

Bring us in early.

The best time to reach us is while the drawings are still moving. Send a set, ask a product question, or book a walk-through of the line.
