How specifications work inside UpCodes
Specifications live inside projects, so every document is tied to a real jurisdiction, code year, and building context. You open a project you can edit, move to the Specifications tab, and manage all of that project’s spec work from a single place.
The editor is built for teams: you can draft and revise sections, comment and tag colleagues, and control who can view or edit each spec. Everything stays structured by division and section, so it’s easy to navigate, track changes over time, and keep projects aligned.
A built-in QA/QC view helps you spot broken references, empty sections, and unresolved decision points before a spec goes out the door. From there, you can resolve issues inline, then export polished Word or PDF packages for coordination, submittals, and record sets.

Specifications are part of the UpCodes platform, not a separate bolt-on. Professional plans will include full spec capabilities, and some view/comment functionality will be available to free and Essentials users.
Today, Specifications support CSI-format documents so firms can bring in and manage the structure they already use. Support for additional formats, including Uniformat, is planned as well.
You don’t lose the work. When you add that section back, you’ll have the option to restore the previous content or start from a clean, blank section.
You can import existing office masters to get started quickly and export any spec to Word or PDF when you need to share, mark up, or archive outside of UpCodes. That makes it easier to adopt a modern editor without forcing the rest of the team to change tools overnight.
Specifications sit alongside your project’s adopted codes, assemblies, and product data, with inline references back to relevant sections. As your project’s jurisdiction or code year changes, those references can stay aligned with the underlying Code Library.
