How It Works: 4 Steps Of Specification
1. Assessment We begin by thoroughly reviewing your architectural plans, door schedules, elevations, and technical details. Our team aligns with your design intent and project goals—down to the smallest opening.
2. Integration Your data is integrated into our proprietary specification software. We evaluate floorplans, identify escape routes, assess electronic hardware needs, and capture aesthetic requirements—laying the groundwork for flawless execution.
3. Refinement Every door and window opening is individually refined. We apply the optimal product combinations to ensure cohesive groupings, performance compliance, and visual harmony throughout the project.
4. Delivery You receive a complete specification package: digital tender documents, finish samples, CAD/BIM files, certificates, pricing info, and installation instructions. Everything you need—on time, and globally coordinated.
Our package solutions offer more than just peace of mind—they deliver value, reliability, and long-term security. The connection between our brands is unmistakable, built on shared expertise and a deep understanding of the needs of commercial and public architecture.
We’ve translated this into a unified specification service that lightens your workload and streamlines your planning process. One team. One vision. All in service of your project.

“The manufacturers' ability to customise the design of the hardware, as per our requirement, was the most compelling aspect of this cooperation. Firstly, a mockup was done to see the design first-hand and be able to touch and feel the grip of the handle.”
