Specpoint and MasterSpec: Q3 2024 Key Highlights and New Features

Deltek Specpoint is dedicated to supporting architects and engineers in developing high-quality construction specifications. With modern technology and the industry-leading AIA MasterSpec® guide specifications, users can streamline the entire specification process—from product research and authoring specs to producing project manuals. Our latest product enhancements further optimize these workflows, helping projects stay on schedule and deliver projects more efficiently. Let's explore the latest Deltek Specpoint product updates.

Easily Manage Multiple Versions of Office Masters

The Office Master Manager allows users to import multiple office masters containing the same section numbers. This provides a centralized method to manage different versions of office master sections, including AIA Master Spec. This is particularly beneficial for firms working with multiple office masters, enabling them to navigate easily between different versions within various projects.
