Upload your specs directly into the program. The reps for every brand in your spec will have visibility into your project. No more waiting for it to come from a dealer.  And it’s entirely secure. Reps will only be able to see the individual brands they represent, and manufacturers will only see their own makes and models.

COMPLETE THE PROJECT DETAILS - Once you’ve selected and loaded the correct file, you will need to    quickly input the project details.

Project Name:  Type the full project name, as it appears on the 11 40 00 (i.e. Mission Hills Elementary School)

Project State and City:  Type the State and City for the LOCATION of the project in this format:  TX (space) Dallas.  No Commas.  A drop-down box will appear to select the state and city you have chosen.  Select that state and city and SpecPath® will populate the field with the chosen information.

Country, Project State and Project Region will autofill.

Market Segment:  Please select from the dropdown of segments.

Estimated Bidding Date (if known):  Click in the box and a calendar will appear for you to select the date the bid is due.  If you don’t know the date, leave this field blank.  If you learn the date in the future, you may add it to the project on the My Project Screen.  Once a bidding date is input, the only way to delete or change the date is to contact the SpecPath® help desk to delete or change it.

      CONSULTANT DETAILS - You firm will autofill if you only have one office. If you have branch offices, like the state and city field from the project details, the system will generate a dropdown list and you will need to choose which branch office wrote the spec.

Need to add a new branch for your firm? Please click the orange “here” to input their information. SpecPath will add them to your project for you.

      DEALER DETAILS - Lastly, if you already know one of the bidding dealers for your project, you can add that here.
