Description

Abstract: 

Specifications are essential, yet they often lag behind modern design workflows—siloed, text-heavy, and difficult to coordinate. By digitizing resources like AIA MasterSpec and Spectext within a Common Data Environment, firms can unlock specification data as a foundation for AI-driven workflows. This session shares practical examples of how GenAI improves accuracy, reduces errors, and strengthens collaboration—helping engineers transform specifications from a late-stage task into a connected, future-ready practice that accelerates delivery and elevates project outcomes.
