Tuckahoe, NJ –May 29, 2024 -  
Conspectus, Inc., the largest independent product specifications firm in the US and the creator of 
Conspectus Cloud, announces an alliance with 4specs, Inc., the publisher of the predominant 
website aggregator of commercial building product websites, 4specs.com.  The coupling of these 
two platforms forms an unrivaled single channel by connecting building product manufacturers 
and professional specifiers in a unique, collaborative effort within the already fragmented AEC-O 
space. 
  
In 2018, Conspectus Cloud debuted as the new specification production tool for Conspectus, and 
in September, 2023, Conspectus offered its award-winning project specification software to the 
general architectural and engineering communities. As this initiative continues to succeed, 
Conspectus is poised to introduce Conspectus Cloud to building product manufacturers, and this 
alliance will be beneficial for both organizations, as well as the AECO industry. 
  
Given the long relationship fostered between 4specs and Conspectus, this business synergy will 
form the most powerful combination of product searching and specification authoring for 
architects and engineers, forming an unmatched marketplace for building product manufacturers 
to showcase their products and specification content for specifiers.  
  
"This alliance with 4specs.com and its founder Colin Gilboy, is the culmination a 25 year 
friendship that started when Conspectus introduced links to 4specs.com into SPECTEXT, master 
specifications system. Ever since, when I want to find a manufacturer site, I always rely on 
4specs.com for quick, direct access. Now, manufacturer and product research will be even easier 
for Conspectus Cloud subscribers and the specification community." – David Stutzman, 
President, Conspectus, Inc. 
  
“After 28 years of running 4specs, I am looking forward to further improving the 4specs 
directory. The Conspectus alliance will enhance 4specs’ connections within the architectural and 
specification community, leading to improved online data for our specifier and architect users. 
Conspectus Cloud subscribers will increase the number of 4specs specifier users, thus leading to 
greater product content exposure and increased AEC-O mindshare for subscribing building 
product manufacturers.” – Colin Gilboy, Publisher, 4spec.com 
  
"My relationship with Colin Gilboy, 4specs founder and publisher, spans some fourteen years. 
During this time, knowing the power and reach of the platform, I have promoted 4specs to every 
manufacturer that I have consulted with because of 4specs' unmatched audience of professional 
specification consultants it commands. This alliance represents a top highlight of my forty-year 
career in this space." – Doug Bevill, General Manager, Conspectus Cloud.
