My first meeting with Brian Payne was at the March 2013 ArchiSpec Conference in Savannah Georgia.
I was facilitating a group discussion on "BIM-Automated Specification Processes" for about 30 specification writers.
Specifiers shared "the good, the bad and the ugly" recommendations for successfully implementing e-SPECS, SpecLink or MasterSpec within their offices' BIM processes.
Throughout the discussion; Brian shared several successful processes that he developed to connect his firm's BIM and specification processes --using e-SPECS.
Fast forward to August 2013 -->> and we find Brian Payne touring Bradley's Corporate Headquarters & Fixture Manufacturing Facility in Menomonee Falls.
Brian mentioned that he created an "Implementing Auto-Specification Software With Revit" Presentation for RTC 2013 in Vancouver Canada. He emailed the links and I have the opportunity to share his docs with you.
You can download Brian's RTC 2013 presentation and class handout (PDF) --that are posted on his archFUSE blog. The class is titled:
BIM Guy meet Spec Guy: Integrating Specifications into the Collaborative Process
Here are the goals listed in Brian's class presentation:
-
Understand the benefits and challenges of integrating Revit into the specification writing process.
-
Learn modeling techniques to help improve your Revit component's ability to communicate with specification writing software.
-
Understand new processes for increased collaboration within project teams using Revit and specification writing software.
Make sure to download Brian's class handout; it has the speaker's notes for the the presentation slides.
