Collaboration for the entire building life-cycle

Our specification writers collaborate with architects using a software solution called Openings Studio.  It has evolved into a tool that is used by contractors, distributors, owners, facility managers and security consultants. Everyone on a project can work together in an interactive and information-rich environment. Access product images, catalogs, installation instructions - all at the tip of your fingers.

Owners can visualize building standards, establish security requirements and access as-built information. Contractors and builders can have as-supplied information, or receive and track information through installation and punch-out. And security consultants can create fully-wired and tagged electrical elevations.

With our tools, you can easily create complete opening models with doors, frames and hardware specifications. You can rely on one of our specification consultants to help you on your educational, healthcare or government facilities project.
