The spec book.

One bound PDF per project that an architect can review, a contractor can price and an owner can approve — without a single phone call to ask “which tile was that?”

Pages below are from the 60 OB/GYN spec book, Brooklyn, issued October 2026 · 13,500 SF · 180+ pages

  1. One book per project

    01 · Cover

    One book per project

    The cover carries the project name, city, client, the date of issue and the hero rendering. Every revision gets a new date.

  2. Who, where, how big

    02 · Project information

    Who, where, how big

    Client, jurisdiction, architect of record, approximate area, program and a key plan, so the reviewer knows the building before turning a page.

  3. Program areas, net of columns

    03 · Area diagram

    Program areas, net of columns

    Every zone labelled with its net square footage. The program is checked here, before any walls are drawn.

  4. The layout, drawn to scale

    04 · Floor plan

    The layout, drawn to scale

    Walls, doors, fixtures and rooms on our firm title block. Room names and numbers match the renderings and the schedules.

  5. Every piece placed and tagged

    05 · Furniture plan

    Every piece placed and tagged

    Workstations, seating, casework and equipment placed on the plan, each tagged to the FF&E schedule with its size and clearances.

  6. Where every material goes

    06 · Finish & flooring plans

    Where every material goes

    Floor finishes, wall finishes and transitions are colour-coded and tagged. A tag on the plan is the same tag on the rendering and in the specification.

  7. Ceiling heights and soffits

    07 · Reflected ceiling plan (RCP)

    Ceiling heights and soffits

    Ceiling grid, light fixtures, diffusers and sprinklers drawn overhead. The legend marks each height zone: 10′, 9′, 9′-6″ ceilings and 8′ and 8′-2″ soffits.

  8. Twelve fixture types, keyed L-1 to L-12

    08 · Lighting plan

    Twelve fixture types, keyed L-1 to L-12

    Every fixture is keyed to a legend with its manufacturer, model and colour temperature (3000K or 3500K). The electrician installs what the plan shows.

  9. Millwork and feature walls

    09 · 3D details

    Millwork and feature walls

    Curved reception desks, slat walls and ceiling features drawn as dimensioned 3D views, so the fabricator builds what the rendering shows.

  10. Every wall, cut and measured

    10 · Elevations and cut sections

    Every wall, cut and measured

    Interior elevations and wall sections with heights, clearances and ADA dimensions, keyed back to the plan.

  11. The picture and its references

    11 · Renderings, tagged

    The picture and its references

    Each rendering sits beside its key plan and a list of the drawings and specs it comes from.

  12. Manufacturer, model, finish, supplier

    12 · Specifications

    Manufacturer, model, finish, supplier

    Wall coverings, flooring, tile, paint, lighting, plumbing and furniture, each with a swatch, a tag and the supplier contact, with cut sheets attached.

Code basis

ADA clearances, egress, FGI and NY DOH requirements noted where they drive a decision, so reviewers see the reasoning, not just the result.

Schedules

Door, finish, lighting and equipment schedules tied to the drawings, exported from one material database so nothing drifts.

Kept current

Revisions are dated and archived. The folder always holds one current book; nobody builds from an old page.

Who it is for

Architects, contractors, owners.

The architect of record gets a coordinated interior package to fold into the permit set. The contractor gets a document to price line by line. The owner gets a picture of the finished building before the first wall comes down.
