Easy Specs — Intelligent Specification Writing Software for Architecture Firms
Easy Specs is a desktop application built for Canadian architecture firms that turns architectural drawing sets into organized, project-specific construction specifications. Instead of manually cross-referencing drawings against a specification library, users upload their drawing PDFs and Easy Specs reads every sheet — titles, keynotes, material schedules, and drawing notes — across architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, civil, landscape, and process disciplines, building a detailed observation list that drives everything the software writes.
From that analysis, Easy Specs proposes a complete list of relevant sections organized by industry standard division numbers, with the reasoning and source drawings behind each suggestion. Users select what they need and generate full three-part specifications (General, Products, Execution) in a single batch. Every section can be refined directly inside the editor by describing the desired change in plain English — no manual editing required — with full undo/redo support.
Easy Specs supports the realities of a working specification practice: multi-stage projects (Preliminary through Issued for Construction) with per-stage drawing sets and automatic stage locking, bilingual output (English/French), and both Canadian and USA formatting conventions with metric or imperial unit ordering. Firms can build a lasting knowledge base by importing external project specifications, a firm-wide master spec, or reusable front ends — each completed section also feeds back into future projects automatically, so the software's output reflects a firm's established language and standards over time.
Specification style is configurable per project, including Prescriptive vs. Performance writing, Outline vs. full three-part detail, and support for major sustainability rating programs (LEED, Passive House, and others). Finished work exports to Word as a watermarked Draft with tracked changes for internal review, or a clean Final issue with an optional project title page, firm seals, and table of contents.
Built specifically for the workflow of architectural specification writers, Easy Specs replaces a labor-intensive manual process with a guided, project-driven system — without asking firms to change how they already work.
