Boon Edam Announces That Their Most In-Demand Entrance Products Are Now Available On BSD SpecLink

Boon Edam Inc., a pioneer in security entrances and architectural revolving doors, announces that its most in-demand entrance products are now available on SpecLink, an online specification platform to help architects, engineers, specifiers, building owners and designers simplify and improve their approach to creating and collaborating on building project specifications.

SpecLink is a cloud-based tool created by Building Systems Design, Inc. that streamlines workflow, improves collaboration and increases productivity by bringing stakeholders in the building design process together through a common specification document.

Generic specification template

The process of creating a building specification is simplified by presenting a comprehensive, generic specification template that allows users to specify by simply ‘turning on’ content to be included in the specification and selecting the manufacturer’s products and options.

SpecLink allows users to:

• Add, modify, or delete text without affecting the master content.
• Create new paragraphs or sections in the specification using built-in templates.
• Create custom templates.
• Export a specification to a word processing or PDF file format.

Reducing spec production time

There are over 820 sections already included in SpecLink which can be expanded or collapsed

SpecLink is unique in the market in that it enables ‘editing by selection’, which can reduce spec production time by up to 70%. There are over 820 sections already included in SpecLink which can be expanded or collapsed, and included or not included in a spec, to provide outline, short form, and full construction specs, without the need to start over at each phase of the project.

There are also hundreds of links out to manufacturer websites enabling specifiers to quickly get access to detailed drawings and brochures on products, AIA educational sessions, and more in a single click. Currently, SpecLink has over 23,000 users across North America.

Several security options

Boon Edam has recently uploaded several best-selling entrance products onto SpecLink, including:

• The BoonAssist TQ manual revolving door, which offers a power-assist drive, speed control and door wing positioning, as well as several security options.
• The crystal TQ all-glass, manual revolving door, an ever-popular choice among architects for its beautiful, transparent aesthetic that complements any building style from historical to post-modern.
