MakeSpec transforms renovation ideas into standardized specifications that can be shared and compared across stakeholders.

Specification Engine

At the core of MakeSpec is a domain-specific specification system designed for renovation projects.

Instead of relying on vague descriptions or contractor-defined scopes, MakeSpec organizes renovation work into structured categories covering spaces, materials, and construction tasks. Users simply select relevant items from guided templates, allowing project specifications to be created quickly and consistently.

To minimize misunderstandings, MakeSpec includes all potential cost elements in the specification structure. Users can mark items as ‘N/A’ when they are intentionally excluded, clearly distinguishing them from items that were never considered. This approach helps define project scope precisely and reduces future conflicts.

MakeSpec also enables real estate agents to collaborate with homeowners by synchronizing specification data and project estimates in one place.

Structured Estimates and Comparison

Because all contractors receive the same structured specifications, price estimates become easier to compare and evaluate. This improves transparency and helps homeowners and agents make more confident decisions.

The standardized structure also enables future integrations with financial evaluation, material pricing, and market data.

Connected Workflow

MakeSpec supports a connected workflow that links key steps of renovation planning and execution.

Users can share specifications with multiple contractors, receive estimates, communicate through a dedicated chat space, and manage project updates in a structured environment.

Real-time notifications ensure that homeowners, agents, and contractors remain aligned throughout the renovation process.
