Make your Building Specification Truly your Own

Sometimes, visualising and specifying a building project isn’t easy. What you really need is a simple way to experiment with different ideas and then capture technical data and your personal requirements as the project specification evolves.

As well as simplicity and flexibility, you want to be sure that the ideas you are coming up with are practical. So you might want to see technical information about the building system you are considering.

Some relevant case studies could also give you inspiration and show how other people have overcome the specific challenges your project faces. These challenges could include time constraints, building performance, difficult site access or minimising disruption to nearby residents.

Developing the specification may take time as you gather ideas, knowledge and inspiration. So you will want to go back to a saved version several times and quickly make changes.

And when you’ve refined the specification – including the number of storeys, foundation type, roof style, roof finish and exterior cladding – you want a simple way to share it with architects and potential contractors. This way, the building you end up with will be one that meets all of your personal requirements, rather than being a compromise based on somebody else’s vision or preferences

If this sounds like a better way to specify a building project, iSpecifier is probably what you’ve been looking for. It’s a free, online building specification tool that anyone can use which is unique to Innovaré.

With iSpecifier you can quickly capture specific technical data and apply, tailor, modify and manage the information to meet the demands of your project. It will even tell you what thickness of panel you will need to meet the required level of thermal performance.

You’ll also find technical guides and case studies to help you develop your project ideas and requirements. Your online specification is easy to modify, share and download – as often as you like and completely free of charge.

iSpecifier has been developed as a basis to improve collaboration, integrate supply-chains and to demystify some of the complexities of offsite. It’s not meant to be the finished article, but the foundation to spread knowledge and expertise to make peoples life easier. Open to everyone and anyone, if you’d like to get involved in developing it or providing feedback on the user experience please get in touch.
