BuildSpec is a digital showroom and database of technical information which gives architects, designers, specifiers, construction industry professionals and the public 24x7 on-line access to a comprehensive database of building products.

BuildSpec is free to browse, and basic listings are free to showcase your products if you are a manufacturer or distributor. However, you gain significantly more advantages via paid listings of product brochures, technical information and specifications and advertising on the BuildSpec landing page.

BuildSpec places your products directly in front of specifiers, homeowners, and developers, at the time product selection decisions are made.

BuildSpec provides an on-line platform for both specifiers and manufacturers.

BuildSpec augments the annual trade-fairs with 24/7 on-line access to information about products discovered and showcased at annual trade-fairs.

Our vision is for BuildSpec to be the ultimate and complete on-line, digital platform of construction product information in Nigeria by providing comprehensive manufacturers and distribution listings and a complete set of extensive, high-quality product data, structured to international industry standards, including all relevant performance criteria and certifications.

On BuildSpec, you can find products, manufacturers, technical data and specification information.

For manufacturers, BuildSpec is a digital platform which exposes your products to specifiers with comprehensive information, simplified through standardisation in the way data is presented.

BuildSpec provides comprehensive product data, in a standardised format in one place.

• Currently, specifiers in Nigeria attend annual trade fairs and visit individual showrooms by car to find products to utilise on construction projects.
• Architects, engineers, and specifiers need to select products to be used on their projects, but this is a time-consuming process.
• For manufacturers, the aim is to get their products specified, but routes to market and establishing relationships with decision makers are confusing, meaning marketing budgets can be wasted on untargeted activity.
• BuildSpec has developed a digital, on-line platform to overcome the problem, by creating a digital source of construction product information in a standardised format.
• BuildSpec allows specifiers to find and browse products and manufacturers using an intuitive and intelligent platform. It is underpinned by an internationally recognised indexing base which is designed to enable the specifying of products directly into project specification documents.
