Projects

A project contains all of the project elements (assemblies, families, and product types), notes, and files associated with your A/E firm's design specification.

Specpoint, by design, uses assemblies, or systems, as both the primary organizational tool and to describe design intent early in a project's life cycle.

Each assembly contains performance requirements which apply to all of its components. During early project development and using a design-build approach, the expectation is that a project lead, such as the architect, would propose the initial solutions (assemblies). Key collaborators (Structural and Trades) would propose alternates based on cost, lead time, experience, and owner preferences. The team would at a point agree to the primary elements and assign them to team members.

As the project progresses to detailed development phases, the A/E firm and the team members accept the design. Additional team members become more involved in order to add components that match the requirements of a given assembly, and proceed to manage information contained in the work results.
