What’s the one part of a construction project that no one notices, until it all goes wrong? That’s right: specs.

In this episode of Hard Hats & Hi Tech, we talk about the underestimated world of specification writing and how it can make or break your next project.

Our host, Bernardita Calzon, is joined by two construction pros with a passion for better project outcomes through better specs: Matt Brennan, senior architectural technologist and host of the What the RFI podcast, and Dory Azar, licensed architect and strategic sales lead at RIB Software.

Together, they unpack what good specs actually do, and what happens when they’re missing, outdated, or rushed. From avoiding costly rework to supporting collaboration and accountability, they explain why specs are the unsung heroes of construction documentation. The conversation also explores tech adoption in architecture, how tools like RIB SpecLink are transforming the spec writing process, and the potential of AI to streamline everything from edits to error detection.

What you’ll learn:
• Why specifications are essential to delivering fair, accurate bids and smooth construction projects
• The risks of poor or last-minute spec writing, from legal issues to delays and cost overruns
• How early collaboration on specs leads to better project outcomes
• The barriers to technology adoption in design and how firms can overcome them
• How RIB SpecLink is modernizing the spec-writing workflow with automation and collaboration
• What role AI can (and should) play in construction documentation
• Why spec writing is a "gift" to contractors, not a burden
