Technical Training for Construction Industry Firms

We offer an array of in-office and web-based workshops to strengthen design and manufacturer staff knowledge of industry best practices. Our training workshops are based on the Project Resource Manual/CSI Manual of Practice, the AIA Architect's Handbook of Professional Practice, and AIA Contract Documents.

We can structure our workshops to address the training needs and schedules of your staff. SpecGuy workshop topics include:

Making the Transition to MasterFormat 2004 - 6 digits, 50 divisions, lots more detail, and some long-term advantages to the industry. Here's how architects and engineers can make the transition.

Delivering Design: Achieving design quality through specifications - How to control product selection to increase design quality and reduce construction costs. Learn how to keep tight control of design essentials, while allowing maximum competition where building owners will benefit the most.

What Goes Where? Drawing/ Specification Coordination - Do your documents talk to each other, or do they argue? Here's how to reduce drawing time and RFI time by saying it once, saying it correctly, and saying it in the proper place.

Coordinating Architect and Engineer Specifications - A look at how simple coordination efforts pay big project dividends. Includes a walkthrough of typical pitfalls, by design discipline.

Introduction to AIA A201 General Conditions - A walk through the fourteen articles of this basic industry contract document. Knowledge of the A201 is essential to staff engaged in contract administration phase services.

Getting Submittals Right - Why do we have submittals? When can we do without them? How can they serve the project without delaying it? Getting Submittals Right can help make the construction phase profitable for all building team members.

MASTERSPEC ACADEMY Training - SpecGuy is an Authorized MASTERSPEC Traininer. We help your staff learn how to best utilize this industry standard resource.
