ArchiAssist has kept in touch with all users of the Master and only one (out of over 500) was dissatisfied, and they couldn’t really explain why.
“…the final document proved to be contractually solid.”
“This is a comprehensive set of Specifications.”
“Greg, loving your Spec…”
“I’ve completed my first ArchiAssist Spec and I am very impressed…It was easy to understand and much quicker than other spec systems I’ve used. Keep up the good work Greg “.
“The service was good regards the shorter and smaller document…the quick response times of…the Spec delivery.”
“The service is first class!”
“…the result is good tight documentation.”
“The spec package is great. We have gone to tender…with minimal queries from Builders.”
“Our projects are generally well scheduled so it has been very quick to undertake specifications using ArchiAssist.”
“We enjoyed the currency of the Specification, quick turnaround times, and general level of co-operation and expedience. I would recommend Greg’s service to other Architects…”
“…[ArchiAssist] freed up our time to focus on the design, drawing and coordination aspects of the project.”
“Greg was recommended to us by another Architect we knew quite well…We recommend Greg to other Architectural Practices.”
“The [ArchiAssist] spec is great. Easy to use, simple to understand and covers a lot of the grey areas that we had in our previous specification. It’s a quick and easy specification that is thorough, cost effective and continually updated. Also Greg’s assistance outside of business hours to help us meet our deadlines is incomparable. Highly recommended!”
“I have used it [ArchiAssist] on a few residential & small commercial projects & have found it very easy…I don’t have big fees on these projects so a easy to use spec is very handy”
“We have benefited from having a tight set of documents…The projects Greg has worked on have been successful and the Clients have returned for more work. I would recommend Greg’s service to other Architects.”
“Greg has assisted Arqus Design with expert Specification advice on a number of significant and complex projects…We have always appreciated Greg’s professionalism and attention to detail and would be pleased to recommend his services.”
“Greg’s service allows the Architect to focus on co-ordination, documentation, budgets and staying on program.”
“We were able to get the Spec done parallel and timed to the preparation of design and drawings. We have found that…service providers like [ArchiAssist] works for us.”
“We learnt about Greg through a Student of ours who had participated in one of Greg’s QUT lectures and we had no hesitation…DegenhartSHEDD would indeed recommend [ArchiAssist] to others…The service provides more protection for the Owner and alleviates the uncertainties of construction quality, ensuring a more predictable and reliable outcome.”
“While we pride ourselves in providing all the necessary detail on the drawings, the Specification certainly adds further clarity and fills in the blanks so to speak, adding value to the project and reducing the risk of possible variations or disagreements And as a result of Greg’s Spec, we have received limited Contractor RFI’s. We also understand that due to the level of clear documentation (which in large part includes the Spec) the Contractor has received more competitive Sub-Contractors quotes than on previous projects of a similar nature.”
“The specification was very good and so far we have not had any issues on site regarding co-ordination of the spec with our drawings.”
“I have gone through the spec and generally think it is great. I really like it and it seems to give us a lot more certainty and security than our previous spec.”
“I like your logic. Keep it simple and cover it off once.”
“We are going really well with it [ArchiAssist], and it has demystified the whole spec process.”
“As always is the case, the spec was handy in detailed situations where the docs otherwise did not state a particular thing”
“The service that you provided and your RFI process was a very efficient and thorough way of working. Thank you for your efforts on this project.”
“Very simple, straight forward. I’m a happy user…but the ultimate test is when we’re having an argument with the builder and trying to save our bacon in front of the client.”
“I found it really easy to edit and have peace of mind that it will provide added risk protection once the project starts on site.”
“…photo shows the progress at [XYZ Project]…the level 6 formwork at the top, after that only one more floor, then roof. We have not been specifically tested on any item in the spec which has been good. The project isn’t finished so still room for problems, but fingers crossed, there won’t be any…”
“The specification…has been good…the spec has been referred to…in previous projects and stood up well… The [XYZ Project]…about to begin construction…the tender process was successful and produced a very favourable price for [Client]…”
“So far, so good…We have used the specification on a number of projects which are currently on site. There have not been any specification related issues.”
“The specification you wrote fus us for [XYZ Project] was great, no RFI’s from the tenderers regarding the specification.”
“The specs on our project were well received and…we essentially had zero queries after they were issued for construction. We take that to mean all parties think they were excellent! Thanks again for your assistance.”
“I recommended Greg’s services to Clients as I prefer to have a Specification that I can rely on.”
“We’ve sent out one version of your spec already, thank you it was very useful.”
“The ArchiAssist Specification went extremely well. I set aside a day to complete the preliminary issue, and…finished it between two and three hours. Very easy to use. This project’s manager…has reviewed the preliminary issue and was also pleased to get through it in a short time.”
“[ABC Project] has been tendered and about to start construction…We have received a couple of minor RFI’s during the tender period, which talks about the good level of our documentation.”
“I’m loving the spec and it has proven to be robust when disagreements arise.”
“We’ve had no problems with the spec at all. The process, as always, was very smooth. You provide an excellent service which is very much appreciated.”
“Just finished first draft of the spec. Love it. Took around a day. Next time will be a fit faster.”

“…your service was excellent, timely and very smooth…the spec itself is very thorough.”
“Greg has been of great assistance on the project and his efforts are much appreciated”
“Wrote my first spec in a little under 4 hours”
“Once I had read the sample specification I knew that I was onto something good. It looks perfect to me and…writing a good spec has always been an issue. This will help. I like the approach of a master set that you delete from.”
“I produced a comprehensive 87 page specification for a $2m commercial project in less than a day. I found it to be quite an easy process. I’d definitely use ArchiAssist again.”
“I really am pleased with ArchiAssist as it’s extremely helpful and reduces time doing specifications.”

“…so far it has been very simple to use.”
“Thanks, it’s been good…I’ve got 2 more projects coming to the tail end of design development so will be ordering extra copies soon”

“I find it [ArchiAssist] great. Easy to prepare and makes sense.”
“The specification was well received thank you”
“The project that we used your spec on has been completed – [XYZ Client] were quite rigid about documentation and procedures. ArchiAssist really helped me put a comprehensive spec together quickly. I will most certainly be using it again…”
“I am using ArchiAssist for all my projects. It’s very easy to use and comprehensive.”
“I have already created my first spec…it was a pretty easy one and the spec made it nice and simple. I am really happy with it and look forward to using it again.”

“I have found the ArchiAssist specification to be very helpful…”
“…So far it [ArchiAssist] works well for us, the spec guide is easy to follow…”
“I do like your delete system – reading through I learn a bit more about the process, materials execution etc each time.”
“The spec was great and the process was also good…”

“The Spec is working well, thanks. Just used it on a smallish commercial/hospitality project and I think it’s done the trick!”
“So far no questions relating to the Specs from the Builder which is a good sign. All in all, your Specs are easy to use and take far less time to set up”
“Working great, really finding it an efficient system.”
“The ArchiAssist Master worked fine and thank you…”
“So far we love your document and haven’t had any queries from the builder – which I believe is a good indication to its versatility & clarity.”
“… for someone who hasn’t had a lot to do with specifications, it was much easier to delete than add add add. I’m sure next time it will be simpler & easier again.”
“The spec has been great, easy to use and very clear for the builder to read.”
“Thank you for creating such an easy-to-use product.”
“We have been using [ArchiAssist]…and have found it to be very easy to use and thorough in its coverage of specification requirements.”
“I found this [ArchiAssist] very easy to use and is a great product.”
“The spec you provided for me in 2021 for a project size of over $10M…was a much simpler set of documents. Your spec was also simpler and easy to include. Your clause in regard water proofing proved to be invaluable for me as the builder filed to follow the spec detail….”
“ArchiAssist is certainly very easy to work with and your depth of detail very informative.”
