Customize MasterSpec® Spec Sections to Fit Your Needs with Deltek Specpoint

Have you ever needed to tailor a section of specification content and save that customized version for future projects? With Specpoint, now you can. Specpoint provides a time-saving feature, MasterSpec Work Items, which allows users to take an existing MasterSpec baseline section and create a customized copy. This means you can generate multiple work items by duplicating an existing MasterSpec section and tailoring it to your specific needs. The key advantage is using Specpoint’s "smart" database-driven functionality to automate repetitive tasks, utilize the AI assistant Ask Dela, and customize out-of-the-box MasterSpec content to meet your project's specific requirements. Previously, users would import specifications that were Microsoft Word-based and not capable of using Specpoint’s database driven intelligence. Now, create copies of MasterSpec sections and customize them to your project needs, all while benefiting from the robust functionality of Specpoint.

Here are a few ways to use MasterSpec Work Items:

  • Adjust technical specifications to match project-specific requirements
  • Incorporate unique project standards or client preferences
  • Add or remove paragraphs to better align with local regulations or project scope
  • Modify formatting and layout to ensure consistency with your office's documentation style

Discover the power of MasterSpec Work Items to customize spec sections for your unique project requirements.
