RE: MasterSpec vs. Spectext vs. Specsintact
AIA MasterSpec
+Fairly up to date
+Fairly complete
-Some items are definately geared towards architects (Division 4)
-Some items aren't fully incorporated (Special inspection)
Spectext. I don't have any experience with it.
Specsintact
-Very out of date
-Very incomplete
The only time I would use Specsintact is when the client requires it.
If I had to choose, I'd choose AIA MasterSpec, not because I think it's great, but it's the only one I've worked with that I don't absolutely hate.
Are there any viable options other than these three choices?
