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.

• Every manufacturer of construction products should have guide specifications to assist design professionals in correctly specifying their products.
• In today’s world of “green” or sustainable construction products, these guide specifications must include statements that cover every product’s sustainability.
• The most widely used sustainable building rating system is LEED by the U.S. Green Building Council. It is imperative that guide specifications are fully coordinated with the LEED rating system, but this system can be confusing to product manufacturers.
• Many guide specifications written by product manufacturers without assistance from a LEED Accredited Professional (LEED AP) contain incorrect, incomplete, and misleading information (aptly named “greenwashing”), making them unusable by design professionals.
• Our LEED AP’s can help you navigate these tumultuous green waters by developing accurate sustainable specifications—free from greenwashing.
