Project Specifications - Overview

Modified on Wed, 30 Oct at 1:04 AM

The Spec Book feature allows the general contractors and architects to share the project specifications books with all collaborators of the project. This helps the stakeholders to get details of the technical specifications, process requirements, ratings, etc., of the deliverables and the work items for which they are responsible. The Spec Books also act as a reference to identify the spec sections to link to items like Submittals, RFI, etc.

  • The Spec Book module allows you to upload a comprehensive spec book that covers all divisions.
  • You can also upload spec books that cover individual divisions separately.
  • The module supports version control and allows you to upload successive versions of the same spec book upon each revision.
  • By default, the latest spec book will be available to users. However, they can also access the previous versions as required.

Automatic Spec Book Splitting

  • The split feature helps you to break down the spec book section-wise.
  • This is useful for extracting required divisions or sections of the spec book into individual PDFs for easy reference.
  • The individual files make it easier to navigate and find specific requirements related to specific trades, such as electrical, plumbing, or HVAC, without wading through irrelevant details.
  • The breakdown is also helpful in linking the division to other items like submittals, RFIs, etc.
Note: Linarc currently supports Spec Book with spec sections in CSI master format. Support for other versions is coming soon.
