A-SPEX is an independent architectural specification consulting firm providing technical specification writing, project manual development, coordination, quality assurance, product research, and specification consulting to architecture, AEC industry, and manufacturers.
We bring experienced specification leadership directly to your project helping transform design intent into clear, coordinated, and buildable construction documents.
Specifications Work Best When They Are Part of the Design Process.
A-SPEX approaches specifications as an integrated component of project documentation not a task that happens after the design is finished.
We begin by understanding the project's design intent, scope, program, materials, systems, procurement requirements, and documentation environment.
Specifications are developed in coordination with drawings and consultant documentation, with attention to discrepancies, interfaces, and project-specific requirements.
Specification content is tailored to the actual project rather than relying on generic requirements that may not align with the design.
Documentation is reviewed for completeness, consistency, coordination, and technical accuracy throughout the project.
A-SPEX remains available to provide specification-related support as the project evolves through revisions, addenda, and Construction Administration
A-SPEX was founded by Nardin Soliman, CCS, CDT, following more than 15 years of experience in architectural specifications, construction documentation, materials, product research, and project coordination.
That experience includes specification leadership for complex multidisciplinary programs, development of specification workflows and standards, technical coordination across multiple project teams, and mentoring of specification professionals.
Today, A-SPEX applies that background to help project teams address the technical, organizational, and coordination challenges that affect construction documentation.
To become a trusted leader in independent specification consulting, recognized for improving construction outcomes through clarity, coordination, and technical excellence—especially within public and municipal projects.
To deliver accurate, coordinated, and enforceable architectural specifications that minimize project risk, reduce RFIs and change orders, and support efficient construction delivery. We aim to provide clarity across all project stages by integrating technical precision with practical constructability.
We provide end-to-end architectural solutions, from concept design to final execution. Our focus is on creating timeless spaces that combine functionality, innovation, and aesthetic beauty.

Specifications need to work with the drawings not exist beside them. A-SPEX reviews documentation for coordination, completeness, consistency, and technical accuracy while working with architects and consultants to resolve discrepancies and evolving project requirements.
Technical product information can be extensive, inconsistent, and difficult to translate into project requirements. A-SPEX researches and evaluates products, materials, systems, performance requirements, standards, certifications, and manufacturer information to support appropriate specification decisions.
Specification involvement doesn't end when the drawings are issued. A-SPEX provides technical specification support during Construction Administration, including interpretation and clarification of requirements, specification updates, and coordination of specification-related issues.
A-SPEX can support firms seeking to establish or improve their internal specification processes through specification workflows, templates and standards, QA procedures, specification resources, process improvement, team coordination, and specification program development. A strong specification program requires more than good writing skills.
A-SPEX provides knowledge-sharing and training based on practical experience in specification writing, editing, construction documentation, material research, and specification processes. Training can support individual professionals, project teams, or firms seeking to strengthen specification capabilities.
Whether you need support for a single project, additional specification capacity for your team, or help developing a stronger specification process, A-SPEX can help.
