Helping save time and generate accurate specifications, Chicago Metallic enhances its informational resources with ARCAT® SpecWizard® tool to guide designers, specifiers and other users through an online selection and configuration process. Based on the input provided for the project, this convenient tool assembles a specification using the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) three-part format and prepares it for download.

ARCAT reports more than 2.8 million annual visitors to its online database of more than 11,500 building products and the largest library of CSI three-part proprietary specifications. These resources are available on-demand and no cost to the architectural community.

“This quick and easy tool is available 24/7/365 to automatically generate ceiling system specifications for design professionals’ unique projects and requirements.
