A specification is technically a legal contract. When that contract cites an outdated ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials), you have just placed a "stop-work order" on your project.
Building codes reference specific versions of ASTM standards; using an older version in your specs makes the project non-compliant with the current safety codes. This leads to immediate halts during building inspections. Lattira Spec auto updates your Master Spec with the latest ASTM references. See how today.
One of the top liabilities for architects is Errors and Omissions. If your firm specified a standard that was superseded three years prior, that is a weak legal defense. Professional liability insurance requires using current industry data, which is what Lattira does by specializing in up-to-date knowledge of the latest local, state, and federal building codes, sustainability regulations (LEED, WELL), and product certifications to ensure full compliance and reduce legal risks and costly change orders.
