Masterspec

From the words of Paul de Leeuw, Registered Architect at Ignite, on working with the Masterspec Platform to deliver one of Ignite's newest and most innovative designs for Christchurch City, which transforms the iconic original Excelsior Hotel site into a high-quality, sustainable, mixed-use commercial building:

"Throughout the design of 211 High Street, we used Masterspec alongside MasterKey to keep our drawings and specifications aligned. By linking specifications directly to drawing annotations, we maintained accuracy across both documents, streamlined our workflow, and reduced the amount of checking needed.

Masterspec is essential for compiling the Green Star evidence we needed to help achieve a 6 Green Star rating, and it supported our staged consent process by keeping information consistent through each consenting stage.

The broad product selection and built-in supporting documentation helped us understand installation requirements early. Regular updates to reflect building code and supplier/manufacturer changes meant we could stay current, ultimately saving time and reducing errors."

We're hosting an in-person CPD session designed for specifiers in the architecture and engineer field who putting together project documentation.

This practical session will help you create documents more efficiently and get a greater understanding of the full range of Masterspec capabilities.
