Specification intelligence
“Fill it out twice, shame on you — fill it out thrice, shame on me.” —swiftAEC
SwiftSpec connects the project location, modeled assemblies, basis-of-design products, and an editable spec. The project location sets the adopted code edition and climate zone, and with them the code-required R- and U-values for exterior assemblies. The basis-of-design product you name sets the performance criteria an alternate has to meet. A specification is most valuable at the start of a project, so SwiftSpec builds it early. Those decisions stay in the document through Word export.
Projects autosave to your account and are available wherever you are.

How it helps you
Questions do not wait for a clean handoff. SwiftSpec keeps the current basis, the decisions, and the document in one place, so the answer is there when someone asks or the work changes course.
Substitution request
A contractor proposes an alternate to the product you named.
What SwiftSpec gives you
Pick a basis-of-design product from the catalog and its published attributes fill the section as the stated requirements. A substitution is reviewed against performance criteria already on the page, under Section 01 25 00.
Code basis
A colleague or reviewer asks you to confirm the project basis.
What SwiftSpec gives you
The adopted code edition and climate zone are already saved from Site. Pull them from the project.
Late revision
A material choice changes after the specification is underway.
What SwiftSpec gives you
Every choice in Assemblies is mapped to a CSI section and carries into the document. Change the assembly and the spec follows. You do not translate the decision twice.
Early handoff
The team needs a current deliverable before the specification is final.
What SwiftSpec gives you
Spec Studio exports to Word in whatever state the document is in. Send today's work for review. Finish the rest after.
Compliance-path engine
SwiftSpec joins the adopted energy code and climate zone with the assemblies you choose. The path you pick sets the technical values that flow into Spec Studio. The location sets the code-required R- and U-values for exterior assemblies.
Write the specification to the prescriptive requirements that apply.
Carry the values from a performance-based compliance approach into the spec.
Apply the high-performance criteria you selected to every section they touch.
Derived project criteria
Professional judgment stays in the loop
Every value SwiftSpec derives from code is flagged for professional review, and every value filled from a basis-of-design product records the catalog entry it came from. SwiftSpec helps a specifier research, coordinate, and document the requirements. The professional responsible for the specification still makes the call.
