Conspectus was originally founded as Focus Collaborative in1992 to prepare construction specifications for architects and engineers located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and the immediate surrounds. Since inception, Conspectus has grown steadily and is now the largest independent specifications consulting firm in the United States offering services to clients nationwide for domestic and international projects. The formation of Conspectus will allow continued growth and expanded services as a result. At our client's request, we performed our first Quality Assurance review in 1998 for a complicated, high-rise renovation project. We built a review strategy based on the RediCheck system and our own experience to help ensure a coordinated set of construction documents will be issued for bidding. Today, our QA review service is provided to designers, owners, and constructors for all types of projects. In 1999, the Construction Sciences Research Foundation selected Conspectus to develop and maintain SPECTEXT®, a nationally distributed commercial master specification system. This relationship continues today as we update existing and introduce new specifications, develop tools to automate the spec writing process, respond to subscriber's technical questions, and manage the technical review process. Conspectus introduced inspection and investigation services coupled with construction administration services to identify and correct problems with existing buildings. We routinely support architects and engineers with detailed reviews of contractor submittals, substitution requests, and requests for information. .
