Architectural Specifications

Heller & Metzger, Inc. is dedicated to providing quality architectural specifications and technical services to our clients with registered architects, technical specification writers, door hardware experts and experienced support staff.

​

Heller & Metzger has prepared over 1,100 Project Manuals for a wide range of institutional, commercial, educational, performing arts, historic renovation, interior, residential and transportation facilities representing a cumulative construction budget of well over six billion dollars.

​

We believe specifications should meet the following objectives:

  • Clearly communicate designer’s intent

  • Be easy to understand and administer

  • Do not add cost to the project with unnecessary requirements

  • Be sensitive to local or regional practices and codes

  • Be written by professionals with a close working relationship with the architect

  • Be thorough and concise, not redundant or wordy

  • Reflect current standards and practices; be consistent with the normal standard of professional care

Our Philosophy

Heller & Metzger is dedicated to bringing quality to architects, developers and public agencies by creating specifications and performance criteria that are customized to each project. Our work must reflect our client’s design excellence and result in facilities that perform well. Our one goal paramount to our continued success is to serve each client with technical advice and solutions that specifically meet their needs.
