"I have been using MASTERSPEC since 1986. I have found it to be for me, the best specification system on the market. In 1998, when I joined Cole + Russell Architects, Inc., I investigated other systems but decided to stay with MASTERSPEC because of its complete information, comprehensive evaluation tools, and user-friendly software."
