Product Name: BSD LinkMan-E
Company: Building Systems Design, Inc.

BSD LinkMan-E is a linking software product that allows the user to easily create, monitor and modify relationships between various representations of a building design project—as drawn using Autodesk Revit, as specified using BSD SpecLink-E, and, in future, as estimated using BSD CostLink/AE. This linking software is referred to as LinkMan-E or LME. The LME user interface is a set of "Dashboards," together comprising a monitoring station that permits a project manager to view the status of project development in the linked applications, check for consistency, and identify discrepancies for corrective action. LME also allows the user to "turn on" missing products in SpecLink-E, based on data from Revit. In short, LME is a tool for coordinating the Revit building model (the BIM) with its specifications and (in future) its cost estimate.

Product Name: BSD SpecLink-E
Company: Building Systems Design, Inc.

BSD SpecLink-E is a master guide specification writing, management, and production system with built-in intelligence designed to help you dramatically speed up editing tasks and reduce specification production time while minimizing errors and omissions. Combined with the industry’s most comprehensive and up-to-date master database, SpecLink-E enables you to accelerate your specification development with unsurpassed accuracy and integrity. If you're already familiar with SpecLink, here's a description of the NEW FEATURES of SpecLink-E. In addition to conventional construction specifications, SpecLink-E includes Design Criteria for buildings (formerly PerSpective, the industry’s first and only commercially available database of performance-based specifications). Design criteria are used during the early building design stages and for projects delivered via the design-build method. The SpecLink-E software includes many productivity tools, including the ability to create automatic administrative reports, such as submittal requirements, useful during construction administration. SpecLink-E is sold in both independent, stand-alone modules (catalogs) or as a fully-functional interactive group — just purchase the pieces that meet your particular needs.
