Architect Specification Package — Specs, CAD & Literature in One Place

Architect Specification Package

Tell us the project type and the systems you are specifying, and we assemble the specification pages, literature, design tools and product references for them into one package you can keep, share with your team, or hand back to us for spec assistance.

Specifying storage means hunting across a dozen manufacturer sites

Storage systems sit awkwardly in a set of documents. They are rarely the headline scope, they cross several divisions, and the reference material a specifier needs — a section to edit, a data sheet, a finish range, a CAD or Revit file, an installation detail — is scattered across manufacturer sites that were designed for buyers rather than designers.

The result is predictable. The section gets copied from the last project, the products drift out of date, and a conflict between the storage system and clear height, sprinkler layout, egress or a utility run gets discovered during construction administration instead of design development.

This tool collects what exists, for the systems you are actually specifying, in one place. Everything it returns is a real published resource on our sites, checked to be reachable. Where we do not have something published — a specific Revit family, a project-specific section — it tells you and offers the direct route: ask us and we will supply it.

Who this is for

  • Architects and interior designers specifying storage, lockers, partitions or platforms
  • Structural and mechanical engineers coordinating around storage systems
  • Specification writers editing sections in divisions 10, 12 and 13
  • Design-build contractors assembling a product package for a bid set

What you need to hand

  • Project type — warehouse, manufacturing, public safety, education, municipal
  • The systems you are specifying, pre-selected by project type and fully editable
  • Design phase, so the advice matches where the project actually is
  • Optional: project name, jurisdiction and bid or issue date

Don’t have all of it? Every field that can be left blank, can be — the tool tells you which missing number would change the answer most.

Build your specification package

Your whole package appears on this page with working links. Contact details are only needed if you want it emailed to your project folder, want a CSI-format section written, or want manufacturer CAD and Revit content.

How it works

Choose the project type

The systems typically specified for that building type are pre-selected. Change anything — the package follows your selection, not our guess.

Get the package

Specification pages, brochures and literature, design tools and product references, grouped the way a spec writer works through them.

Note what is missing

The package tells you plainly where we have no published spec or CAD file for a system you selected, rather than quietly omitting it.

Ask for spec assistance

We will produce a CSI-format section for the systems you selected and flag conflicts with clear height, sprinklers, egress or utilities before the set is issued. There is no charge for it.

What is in a package

The dimensional coordination that decides whether a specified system actually fits.

Specifications come first, because an existing published section is the fastest starting point for an edited one. If your combination of systems has no matching published section, the package says so and offers spec assistance instead.

BIM, CAD and Revit content is included where we publish it. Manufacturer content changes more often than a website does, so for anything you are placing in a model we would rather send you the current file directly than have you download a stale one.

Literature and product references give you the finishes, configurations and capacities that determine whether a system fits the design intent — and, just as often, the dimensional constraints that determine whether it fits the room.

Design tools are included for the systems that have them, because a layout you can produce yourself in ten minutes is worth more at schematic design than any brochure.

Phase-specific advice is included: at construction documents or bidding, the most common late change is finish or worksurface selection; earlier, the decisions that matter are clear height, aisle strategy and utility locations.

What this tool does not do

This package collects published reference material. It is not a project specification and has not been coordinated with your drawings.

  • Manufacturer data changes — confirm current data sheets and finishes before issuing a package for bid.
  • Nothing here constitutes an engineering, code, seismic or permitting review.
  • Storage rack and elevated platforms are permitted work in most jurisdictions; that requirement affects both the drawings and the schedule and must be confirmed locally.
  • Product availability and lead times are not addressed by these resources.

Common questions

Do I need an account?
No. The package is generated on the page and every link works immediately. You only give us your details if you want it emailed, or want a section or CAD content produced for you.
Can you write the specification section for us?
Yes, and it is free. We produce a CSI-format section for the systems you selected and review it against your drawings for conflicts with clear height, sprinkler layout, egress and utilities.
Do you have Revit families and CAD files?
For many systems, yes. Because manufacturer content changes, we prefer to send the current file for exactly the system you are specifying rather than have you pull a stale one from a resource page. Ask through the tool and we will send them.
Does storage rack require a permit?
In most jurisdictions, elevated platforms and storage racks above certain heights are permitted work, and seismic requirements vary considerably by location. Confirm with your jurisdiction early — it affects the drawing set, not just the schedule.
Is this only for warehouse projects?
No. The project types include public safety and evidence facilities, education, healthcare, municipal buildings and manufacturing, each with a different default set of systems.
What if a system I need is not listed?
The list only offers systems we actually have published resources for, so it is honest rather than complete. Call (800) 326-4403 or ask for spec assistance and we will get you what exists for anything else.

Free specification assistance for your project

Send us the systems and the drawings. We will produce the section, supply current manufacturer content, and flag the coordination problems before your set goes out.
