Basic


The architectural specification system for residential and smaller commercial construction projects.


Perfect for most small to medium construction projects.

Masterspec's Basic library has everything a designer needs to specify less technically complicated building projects to the same high standard as larger construction projects.

With 704 General, Technical and Branded sections*, Basic allows you to create the kind of project-specific specification in demand by councils and authorities alike. Sections cover the entire project life from demolition and foundations to external finishing and landscaping.

Basic is ideal for the less detailed structure up to 3 stories high.
