Understanding the needs of the design community is central to the success of any building product manufacturer. However, there are several factors that can make understanding this target market difficult. Traditional approaches to reaching this group are inefficient and ineffective. Timing has to be considered as reaching architects and design professionals at the right time is critical to have products considered for inclusion in a construction project. This is tricky. The long lead time between when a product is specified and when it is purchased and installed can make understanding the architectural product sales cycle difficult. Insights into the actions taken by architects when reviewing products are hard to obtain.

CADdetails provides building product manufacturers with access to actively specifying architects and design professionals in North America, as well as powerful insights into this audience and how they interact with manufacturers’ technical design content.
