The specifier journey

## How specifiers research and choose products

Specifiers make the decision long before a purchase order exists. Most of it happens in stages 02 to 04.

1. 01
   
   ### Frame the Project

   Architects set performance, code, and budget requirements for each building system.
   
   AI Ready content
2. 02
   
   ### Search & Shortlist

   They search product categories, browse manufacturers, and increasingly ask AI assistants for options.
   
   CADdetails search
3. 03
   
   ### Evaluate & Compare

   Shortlisted products are compared on performance data, compliance, and aesthetics.
   
   Prodify product data
4. 04
   
   ### Specify & Detail

   CAD, BIM, and spec text for the chosen product go into the drawings and project manual.
   
   CAD and BIM downloads
5. 05
   
   ### Approve & Procure

   Contractors submit products for approval, and substitution requests can still replace yours.
   
   Submittal-ready files

**Prodify prepares the content.** Prodify Core, including DAM and PIM, is included for all CADdetails clients.

The Spec Ready framework

## Four steps from scattered files to specified products.

Most manufacturers start with CAD drawings in one folder, spec sheets in another, and no view of who uses them. Wherever your content is today, we’ll help you take the next step.

01Asset Ready Organize and optimize your CAD, BIM, 3D, and spec files.

02Data Ready Structure and enrich your product data.

03Channel Ready Be where specifiers look, and turn engagement into pipeline.

04AI Ready Automate spec writing and get found by AI tools.

FAQ

## Common questions from manufacturers

### What is CADdetails?

CADdetails is a building product content platform. Since 1997, it has published manufacturers’ CAD drawings, BIM models, and specifications to 1.1M+ architects, engineers, and contractors, including 100% of the top 50 American architecture firms.

### How does CADdetails help manufacturers get specified?

CADdetails follows a four-step Spec Ready framework: organize product content, structure product data, publish it where specifiers search, and make it discoverable by AI tools. AEC Analytics then shows which firms view and download your content so sales can follow up.

### Is Prodify included?

Yes. All CADdetails clients get access to Prodify Core from day one, including digital asset management (DAM) and product information management (PIM), at no extra cost.

### What file types can I publish on CADdetails?

Manufacturers publish 2D CAD drawings (DWG, DXF, PDF), BIM models including Revit families, 3D models, CSI-format specifications, and product data sheets.

### How much does CADdetails cost?

Standard pricing starts at $849 USD/month. Final pricing for Building Product Manufacturers (BPMs) varies depending on catalog scope, specification tools required, and target market reach. Localized Canadian (CAD) pricing and promotional rates are available upon request through a custom consultation.

### How long until we see results?

We look at results in two phases. Immediate results happen in your first 30 days through our Analytics Dashboard. You get real-time intent data showing exact design firms downloading your CAD/BIM files and researching your product category, allowing your sales team to do targeted outreach right away. Closed sales revenue typically follows in 6 to 12 months, matching the standard commercial build cycle. Because specified projects carry significant contract value, it often only takes a single specified project to deliver a strong ROI on your annual investment.

### What do we need to provide to get started?

Getting started is straightforward—we do most of the heavy lifting for you. All we need from your team to launch is your existing product documentation, high-res images, and whatever technical drawings or CAD/BIM files you currently have on hand—even if they aren't fully optimized yet, as our team helps handle conversion and formatting. Once you pass over your brand logo and the email addresses where you'd like lead alerts routed, our team takes care of building your custom profile and publishing your files to the network.

### How do I estimate the ROI of CADdetails?

Use the free Value and ROI Estimator to model the specification value your products could generate on CADdetails, or book a 30-minute demo to review how your product category performs.
