Tell us the project type and the laboratory systems you are specifying, and we assemble the specification pages, literature, Revit content, design tools and product references into one package you can keep, share, or hand back to us for spec assistance.
Lab casework coordination fails in the gaps between disciplines
A lab package touches more disciplines than almost anything else in a building. Casework needs the architect. Hoods need mechanical. Sinks, gas, vacuum and DI water need plumbing. Bench power and data need electrical. Everything needs the equipment schedule, and the equipment schedule always changes.
What goes wrong is rarely a bad product selection. It is a hood added at design development that the exhaust design never heard about, or a worksurface material chosen for appearance and specified against the wrong chemical exposure, or a bench run that no longer fits once real equipment dimensions arrive.
This tool puts the reference material for the systems you are specifying in one place, and — more usefully — tells you what is missing from it. Where we have no published section or Revit family for something you selected, it says so and gives you the direct route to get it.
Who this is for
- Architects and lab planners specifying casework, hoods and worksurfaces
- Mechanical engineers coordinating hood exhaust and make-up air
- Specification writers editing divisions 11 and 12
- Healthcare, education, research and cleanroom project teams
What you need to hand
- Project type — laboratory, healthcare or cleanroom
- The systems you are specifying, pre-selected by project type and fully editable
- Design phase, so the advice matches where the project actually is
- Optional: project name, jurisdiction and bid or issue date
Don’t have all of it? Every field that can be left blank, can be — the tool tells you which missing number would change the answer most.
Build your laboratory specification package
The whole package appears on this page with working links. Contact details are only needed if you want it emailed, want a CSI-format section written, or want current Revit and CAD content.

How it works
Choose the project type
Laboratory, healthcare or cleanroom, each with a different default set of systems. Change any of it.
Get the package
Specifications, literature, Revit and CAD content, design tools and product references, grouped the way a spec writer uses them.
Note what is missing
The package states plainly where we have nothing published for a system you selected, instead of quietly omitting it.
Ask for spec assistance
We will write the CSI-format section and review it against your drawings — including the hood exhaust and utility coordination that causes most late changes. No charge.
What is in a laboratory package
Specifications for casework, worksurfaces and lab shelving come first — an existing published section is the fastest route to an edited one.
Revit and CAD content is included where we publish it. Manufacturer content changes often, so for anything going into a model we would rather send the current family directly than have you place a stale one.
Material and finish literature is what settles the chemical-resistance question properly, rather than by appearance. It is the single most common source of a late change on a lab package.
Design tools — bench, casework and room configurators — are included for the systems that have them, which is often more useful at schematic design than any document.
Phase-specific advice is included, and for labs it is nearly always the same: settle the hood count and type early, because the mechanical design and the critical path follow it.
What this tool does not do
This package collects published reference material. It is not a project specification and has not been coordinated with your drawings.
- Manufacturer data changes — confirm current data sheets, finishes and standards references before issuing for bid.
- Nothing here is an engineering, code, egress or accreditation review.
- Fume hood quantity, type and placement must be confirmed with the mechanical engineer of record.
- Product availability and lead times are not addressed by these resources.

Common questions
Do I need an account?
Can you write our casework section?
Do you have Revit families?
When should we involve you?

Free specification assistance for your lab project
Send us the systems and the drawings. We will write the section, supply current Revit content, and flag the coordination problems while they are still cheap to fix.
