3-Part Specs For Decorative Grates

A specification is a detailed description of the design and materials used to make something.

It’s a document, put together by an architect, engineer, or specification writer, describing in words what cannot be visually represented on a drawing or model.

With that said, specification is more than just words on paper.

At its core, specification is all about communicating and exchanging project information between client, designer, and contractor.

As such, it’s important to begin specification writing as early as possible in the project lifecycle so that everyone has a shared understanding and common documentation to refer back to.

Part of getting started includes researching and defining the materials and products that will eventually be specified for the project.

Obtaining accurate, detailed information quickly and easily is key.

Iron Age is pleased to announce the addition of a new tool on our website to help you do just that.

Introducing Iron Age Designs’ 3-Part Specifications

When you search our site for information about trench grates, catch basin grates, and tree grates, you’ll now find 3-Part Specs along with our existing product data, cut sheets, and drawings.

Written in CSI’s 3-part format by a highly experienced CSI Fellow, our specification documents are complete with technical data, ASTM standards, performance features, and product attributes. Simply edit the document to fit the needs of your specific project.

No need to fill out a form or provide contact information to gain access either. Our 3-Part Specs are freely available for specifiers to view or download (as either a Word Doc or PDF).

After all, the primary goal of our website is to make your job as specifiers and decision-makers easier. We hope these 3-Part Specs are helpful, and please let us know if there are any additional resources we can provide.
