The M Group Transitions from Outsourced Specs to Deltek Specpoint

The M Group is a long-time Deltek customer, passionate about creating innovative and sustainable design solutions across commercial and data center projects. While specifications, documentation, and technical requirements are essential parts of their work, the more efficiently they can manage these tasks, the more time they can dedicate to creative design that exceeds their clients' expectations. After years of collaborating with specification consultants, the team struggled with the slow pace of back-and-forth document updates. To address these challenges, they adopted Deltek Specpoint, which delivers efficiency, accuracy and consistency. The software includes AIA MasterSpec® content, enabling the team to work faster and with greater confidence.

Streamlined Specification Management with Real-Time Updates

For The M Group, bringing specifications in-house represents a strategic investment in the firm's future. Senior Manager, Sarah Jones, views aligning their new software with existing documents as an opportunity to optimize their specification process. Their adoption of Specpoint transforms their specification management by enabling real-time updates and consistently accurate project documents.

This newfound flexibility allows the team to seamlessly customize specifications across diverse projects for both new construction and repositioning projects. As their data center design efforts continue to expand, Specpoint's rapid updating capabilities help meet demanding timelines.

In addition to real-time updates, Specpoint's seamless integration with AIA MasterSpec® allows The M Group to create detailed, accurate documents that meet industry standards. This efficiency is especially valuable for projects with tight deadlines.

Developing Next-Generation Specification Writers

Sarah is particularly excited about the future of their team development. Specpoint's intuitive, structured approach is ideal for training new team members and interns. With plans to expand its specification writing team, Sarah is confident that Specpoint's user-friendly interface and Best Practices tool streamline training and helps new talent get up to speed quickly, all while maintaining exceptional standards.

These advancements lead to several key achievements:

• Adopting Specpoint transforms The M Group's specification management, streamlining workflows and enhancing quality assurance.
• Transitioning from specification consultants to internal management saves time and strengthens quality control.
• Specpoint's intuitive software also creates exciting opportunities for team growth and skill development, positioning the firm for continued success.

With these improvements in efficiency, accuracy, and team capabilities, The M Group is well-positioned to take on increasingly complex projects while maintaining the highest standards of quality.

Setting New Standards in Specification Excellence

The M Group's transition to Specpoint proves to be a transformative success story, strengthening its position as an industry leader in the dynamic architecture industry. As the firm continues to grow and optimize its workflows with Specpoint, they are excited about its ability to deliver increasingly consistent, accurate, and adaptable specifications that drive project success and enhance efficiency.
