In an effort to assist architects in correctly specifying Metal Composite Material, The Miller-Clapperton Partnership Inc., Austell, Ga., unveiled an online specifications generator available now at www.mcmspecwriter.com. With this technology, an architect inputs basic project information, selects from drop-down menus available material thickness, color, core and attachments system, and upon completion, a formal specification is generated and is available for download to be included in the project manual. This design assistance tool should result in more accurate bidding of MCM by eliminating the often contradictory elements of specifications.
