OUR STORY - About V SPECS We Were Tired of Specs Being an Afterthought. So We Built a Better Way. V SPECS was born from 20+ years of real-world experience in architectural specification writing. Founder and Registered Specification Writer (RSW) Mark Clemmensen saw the gaps firsthand — vague formatting, missing sustainability, and specs that didn’t reflect the quality of the products they represented. So we created something better: a system that scores, simplifies, and elevates your specs — while educating your team and empowering your sales. MEET THE TEAM - Mark, Melissa & Kristina We’re a Family-Run Company That Runs Like a Spec Machine. Our education-first approach is changing the industry. Through weekly SPEC SHORTS comics, the Technically Speaking Podcast, and our New-2-Sales Training Program, we’re building tools that support reps, consultants, and architects alike. When you engage with V SPECS, you’re not just updating your specs — you’re building a smarter, stronger industry. Mark Clemmensen FOUNDER REGISTERED SPECIFICATION WRITER +1 (365) EDUCATE (338-2283) 20 years of spec leadership. Believes specs should be readable, reliable, and respected. Melissa Clemmensen OWNER EXECUTIVE COACH Kristina Dunn ILLUSTRATOR BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER +1 (905) 449-1236 Leads communication training for reps and spec writers using NLP-based techniques.

WHY SPECS MATTER (Specs = Trust Documents) Specs Are More Than Legal Documents. They’re Trust Documents. A well-written spec builds confidence, reduces confusion, and saves projects from the chaos of coordination failure. But most specs are still treated like an afterthought — slapped together, over-edited, and misunderstood. We’re on a mission to change that — with VERIFIED™ tools, teaching, and team support.
