Do master specification sections include lists of manufacturers?
In SpecLink-E, in each appropriate location, lists of manufacturers who make that type of product are included. Only 3 or 4 manufacturers are included for each product category each, selected by BSD based on the likelihood that our users would wish to include them in a project spec. Users should verify that they make the kinds of products that are specified in the project specification. We have not tried to include exhaustive lists, but instead include popular names so that our users don’t have to type them in. There are much better sources for manufacturer names and product information than we at BSD could ever maintain—namely, the Internet—that we do not try to make SpecLink-E a product research tool. However, we periodically verify those that are listed to be sure they are still in business and make the type of product for which they are listed. See the Specifier’s Library for suggestions on where to look on the Internet.
