Our People

Thinking above and beyond the traditional role of the specifications writer

Conspectus professionals bring to each project a distinctively broad perspective on scope, quality, and performance at a level of expertise that no other firm offers.

Our seasoned team members dig deep to get a firm grasp on the owner’s project requirements. We get inside the architect’s head to understand the underlying design intent. We look for places where value can be added and pinpoint areas where risk can be reduced.

As trusted experts across multiple disciplines, we have helped develop, maintain, and promote standards and tools used industry wide, including CSI Practice Guides, format documents, commercial master specifications, and specifications software for the construction industry.

Individually and collectively, our team members are innovators and educators, deeply involved in the leadership of our industry’s professional associations, often serving as presenters at conferences and advisors on industry issues.
