AEC Survey Results

Written by CADdetails | Mar 11, 2026 3:49:18 PM

In January 2026, we surveyed a group of AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) professionals to better understand how they discover, evaluate, and ultimately specify building products.

Our goal was simple: learn what actually drives specification decisions today, directly from the professionals making them.

Inside the report, you’ll discover:

  • Where AEC professionals go first when researching products
  • Which product files and formats matter most during evaluation
  • What truly influences specification decisions
  • What specifiers expect from manufacturers
  • And so much more!
If you want your marketing and product strategy to align with how specifiers are really working in 2026, this report provides clear, data-backed insights you can act on.
