At Western States Metal Roofing, we’re always working towards making life simple for contractors, designers, and architects. Our latest online tool helps gather all the documents needed to prepare for a project submission within a matter of minutes instead of hours.
In this article, we discuss what a product specification (spec) builder is and how it can help you save time and money.
What Is A Product Specification Builder For Metal Roofing?
A product specification builder is an all-in-one online tool that allows the user to gather and download all documents needed for a construction submission.
The product spec builder supplies important documents such as:
- CAD Details
- Load Charts
- Uplift Charts
- Product Specifications
- Product Data Sheets
- Warranty Information
- Fire Rating Certificates
- Installation Guides
- and more
With this online tool, you can now get these documents in a matter of minutes instead of taking hours to compile all the needed information. The spec builder saves you time and money by reducing your administrative costs in the long run, leaving you with more time to submit for more projects.
How To Use The Metal Roofing Product Specification Builder
The product spec builder is a user-friendly tool that guides you through a series of questions in order to locate all the available documents in our library for any one of our metal roofing and metal wall products. It will package them all into a .zip file at the end of the process so you can download them all immediately and save them to your computer for later use.
Below are the steps to use the spec builder:
- Go to the spec builder page online
- Select roof panel or wall panel
- Choose your desired panel profile
- Choose your desired panel color
- Choose your desired panel gauge
- Review the summary of your selections. If correct, fill out the form to view the results.
What To Do With The Spec Builder Documents
Once you have made it to the results page, you will see all the forms individually. You have the option of downloading the ones you need or you can download all the files at once in the form of a .zip file by selecting the Download All Documents button. The download all documents option can only be displayed once. If you decide not to download all documents at this time and navigate away from this page, you will have to start the process all over again.
An email will also be sent to the email address you provide immediately after filling out the form with a link to this session’s summary page for you to access at any time. Please note, you will want to keep those emails for future use if you decide to start over to collect more documents.
You have the option to download all the documents or individually choose the documents your specific project requires. If you only need the CAD details you can simply click on the download text icon directly below the title/description. This will instantly download only that file to your downloads folder on your computer.
