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.

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.
