Corgan Has Selected VisiSpecs
Portland, Maine (March 13, 2024) – Corgan, a leading architecture and design firm, has selected VisiSpecs, The Visual Specification System, to deploy for enterprise-wide specification writing.
Corgan was encouraged to evaluate VisiSpecs based on strong recommendations from a Texas specifications consulting firm. The team also evaluated other spec writing applications but selected VisiSpecs based on time savings compared to other spec editing software, the ability to quickly import their current Master specification library, and improved product quality via the QA Report.
Corgan trialed VisiSpecs using their own masters and projects, finding the upgrade to be fast and easy. The learning curve was minimal because VisiSpecs is a Microsoft Word-based tool that users already have installed, are familiar with, and prefer to use as their editing platform.
The Corgan team found that the QA Report saved time and improved quality instantly, as it automatically catches errors that are missed when users attempt to check for coordination issues manually. Valuable time will be saved while publishing their submissions as there is not enough commercially available time to manually check for errors that the QA Report finds in seconds.
“We’ve mandated the use of VisiSpecs on all projects in 2024 and plan to start implementing BIM and Keynoting integration along with submittal report generation next to continue taking advantage of the process efficiencies VisiSpecs enables,” stated Chris Johnson, Director of Technical Design Services.
“We are pleased to see highly respected firms like Corgan evaluate, compare, and select VisiSpecs as their spec writing and BIM integration platform,” stated Seamus McGrady, COO and Founder of Chalkline, Inc.
