The Bradley Specification Guide visually displays, lists and classifies a sample of all Bradley product categories with their respective MasterFormat Titles and Numbers.
Division 10 | Toilet, Bath and Laundry Accessories
It's designed as a desktop reference guide for construction specifiers; that are specifying Bradley products in both their corporate and/or project specifications.
The Bradley BIM (Revit) Library features MasterFormat Title & Number parameters embedded in each Revit product model.
BIM Managers can reference the guide to add MasterFormat Title and Number parameters to their Revit family models for these categories.
The CSI BIM Practice Group published this Revit | e-SPECS learning-video (below) defining a Small Firm's Perspective | Implementing e-SPECS Specifications authoring software. e-SPECS automates the creation of the specifications by linking directly to a project's Revit model.
e-SPECS for Revitautomates the process of creating specification manuals integrated with all Autodesk Revit-based applications. e-SPECS for Revit includes the e-SPECS Binding Manager to link Revit families to your master guide specs automatically including and filtering the sections based on the families and parameters in the BIM Model.
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.
Summer 2014 launched the Bradley BIM 2.0 - Revit Library Update. Major portions of the Bradley Revit Library (1,000 Revit Families) were optimized and revised.
Rachel Hughes, Revit\BIM Support Technician (paid summer internship) has been piloting our Bradley BIM 2.0 Revit Library Updates. She cataloged each family's edits in our Standards Spreadsheet and authored new editing processes for our Revit Handbook.
More than 350 Bradley Revit families had their their visibility settings optimized.
Currently, over 750 Bradley Revit models were given new parameters, old parameters were updated or deleted -and all 750 models were Revit project-tested.
This summarizes the Bradley BIM 2.0 updates; that we'll begin uploading to the Bradley Revit Library during September 2014.
New embedded Bradley BIM Shared Parameters are designed to assist BIM \ VDC and FM Managers with:

Bradley’s Revit Library integration with e-SPECS expands Bradley’s existing commitment to provide construction specification tools.
Bradley’s 3-part specifications, our expanded listings in MasterSpec and the Bradley 1000+ Revit Family Library will integrate with e-SPECS specification solutions.
In addition to the e-SPECS longtime support of MasterSpec, it also support US Dept VA, Canadian Specs (CMS and NMS), BPM specs, and custom owner and design firm master specifications integrating with Autodesk's AutoCAD, Revit and Navisworks applications.
