Vivian Volz, Architectural Specifications supports architects to bring design to reality.  VVAS serves primarily as project specifier for architect-led projects. Our full-service, on-your-team, approach to specification services is the heart of VVAS. We work closely with architects to ensure that the design intent and project requirements are communicated in the specifications and coordinated with the drawings. Our service doesn't stop at the Issue for Construction; architects count on us for assistance with substitution requests and submittal interpretation during construction.

In the course of preparing specifications, we:

• Establish performance and sustainability criteria

• Seek out products and systems to meet the criteria

• Recommend materials and systems

• Integrate compatible systems

• Document the team's selections

• Help enforce the criteria and the selections during contract administration
