Colin Gilboy, founder of 4specs.com, sat down with Conspectus executives David Stutzman, Steve Gantner, and Elias Saltz in Orlando, FL to button up the final details of its acquisition and share something bigger with the industry, his retirement. We were able to capture a glimpse of that moment and the conversation behind it.
For decades, 4specs.com has been a steady compass for product and manufacturer research in the AECO world. Colin talks about how it started, why he built it, and the simple principle that guided it from day one: give people honest, useful information and let the quality speak for itself.
There is a long history between Colin and Dave, built on respect and a shared belief that better education, transparent knowledge, and strong community connections lead to better projects. This episode feels less like a transaction and more like a passing of the torch.
