Building an
Effective Strategy
for Getting Your Products Specified
Guide Specs
Every building product manufacturer that wants to be specified in design projects must have a guide specification in a CSI 3-part format for all of their products. RBA’s spec writing team can assist you with re-writing, updating, or developing guide specs from scratch.
Once your guide specs are ready and accessible to the design professionals, they can be easily added to a project specification or to any firm’s master specification which is the best place for it to end up. Getting your guide specs into a firm’s master specification is the primary goal of all RBA programs.

You have done your job well by marketing your product to a design professional who has agreed to specify it on his next project. The next question he would ask is “Where is your guide specification for this product?”
Design professionals do not write project specifications from scratch. Instead, they use a series of templates called “master” or “guide” specification sections—much as an attorney would prepare a contract.
Guide specifications for your product must follow recommendations published by The Construction Specifications Institute (CSI). The sections must be correctly numbered and structured, along with having the correct specification language and writing style. This way they are coordinated with the other sections when the design professional prepares to cover the myriad of products used on a typical project.
Don’t have a guide specification? Not a problem! Our CSI certified specifiers will prepare accurate guide specifications for your product.
