ATAS International, a Metal of Honor winner, announced the addition of specification program software to its website at www.spec.atas.com.

This software will write specifications for ATAS roofing and wall products as chosen by the specifier.

Using the ATAS specification program, specifiers must answer questions regarding the products they are looking to use on the project. The answers are inserted into a three-part specification and produced as a Microsoft Word document, which may be modified. The created document includes specific product information as well as test references for both steep slope and low slope roofing applications.

The unique function of the specification writing software is it includes the recommended usages and limitations of the ATAS product line. Therefore, the answers to each of the questions determine the questions asked in the next section and will virtually guarantee the proper usage when the spec is used exactly as generated. A bonus feature of the ATAS spec program includes detailed “help” sections that explain in depth why a question must be answered and the benefits and recommendations for each option available.

“In addition to offering helpful tools for our customers, ATAS is also very interested in education,” says Jim Bush, the vice president of ATAS. “This spec writing tool will allow ATAS products to be specified with their appropriate usages and will include many helpful tips in order to enact the proper decisions for each project.”
