Avanti Systems, Clipso Join e-SPECS BPM Program

PORTLAND, ME, Nov 19, 2009 - InterSpec, Inc., the industry leading provider of BIM integrated construction specification software and services, announces new Building Product Manufacturer’s (BPM) proprietary BIM and specification content with its e-SPECS software solutions. The e-SPECS BPM Program enables building product manufacturers to get specified into more projects by distributing their product specifications and BIM objects directly to the desktops of designers and specifiers.

InterSpec’s patented e-SPECS software solutions automate the preparation of construction specifications and selection of products and materials, used by thousands of architects, engineers and construction professionals. e-SPECS BIM solutions integrate a design’s construction model with construction specifications keeping them in sync while reducing the overall cost of development. As a manufacturer’s Revit family is used in a Revit model, the corresponding detailed specification criteria will automatically be included in the e-SPECS project manual with coordinated detailed keynotes for Revit.

e-SPECS also facilitates the development of specification manuals without the CAD/BIM integration. e-SPECS users are more likely to include BPM product specs distributed within the e-SPECS database versus having to spend the time to search the internet, research, download, reformat and coordinate specifications with the rest of their project manual. With the inclusion of BPM’s content, architects and engineers will be able to supplement their project manuals with specific proprietary information directly from within their e-SPECS programs.

Avanti Systems USA is a leading provider of Interior Glass Wall Solutions consisting of Solare Full Height, Floor to Ceiling Systems and Elite Freestanding Partition Systems. These systems have been newly integrated within the e-SPECS BPM Program. Avanti, a design led manufacturer and installer of World Class Glass Wall Partitions and Glass Doors strives to reach designers, architects, and other professionals in the industry. "Distribution within e-SPECS will aid in providing a great platform for the specification of our products, with the overall goal of fostering a positive relationship with building professionals," stated Nilton Duque, Director of Marketing at Avanti Systems.

Clipso is distributing specifications for their CLIPSO BUILDING collection with a range of technical coverings for stretch ceilings and wall coverings. Dorian Lynch-Geis, Clipso Director for North America, stated “We need to be aggressive in getting our products selected by designers. InterSpec offered the not only writing our 3 Part CSI product specification, but distribution to e-SPECS users making it easier for designers to specify us into their project with accurate and coordinated specifications.”

“We are very excited to include Avanti Systems USA and Clipso as BPM Program Members,” includes Seamus McGrady, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at InterSpec. “e-SPECS enables seamless integration and coordination of construction documents for our architect, engineering and design customers. We’re increasing the value to both our e-SPECS users and BPM Program Members by distributing more product specifications directly to the desktops of those who need them.”
