The specification software that starts from your 3D model

Why a dedicated specification tool?

Writing a specification by hand in Word means hours of copy-pasting between templates that drift apart, omissions from one trade to the next, and versions that no longer match the take-off or the pricing.

A dedicated tool starts from a library of standard clauses, structures the document trade by trade and keeps it consistent with the rest of the tender package.

How it works

Three steps, a single entry:

• Describe the project (or import the 3D model): trades and work items are pre-filled.
• Tick and adjust the articles you need, pick the wording variant that fits your contract.
• Export a complete specification as Word — table of contents, hierarchy and layout generated automatically.

What you get

• A library of thousands of standard articles, organised by trade.
• Ready-to-use wording variants, editable at will.
• A polished .docx export: automatic table of contents, numbering and layout.
• A specification linked to the take-off and the pricing breakdown: change a value once, it propagates.

Specification, pricing and take-off: one single dataset

In BuildOS, the specification is not an isolated file: the 3D model feeds the take-off, the take-off feeds the pricing breakdown, and the specification describes the matching work. Enter it once — the data flows through every module.

The result: fewer omissions in the tender, genuinely comparable bids, and a package that stays consistent from brief to site.
