## Why Now?

The sooner your products are on CADdetails, the sooner you can start capturing specification opportunities earlier in the design process, when specifiers are actively researching and selecting products. Consider this:

- Thousands of specifiers actively search for product files (CAD, BIM, 3D, specs) every day on [CADdetails.com](https://www.caddetails.com/).
- A single specified product can represent thousands of dollars over the lifecycle of a project.

 That means that missing even a handful of specification opportunities per year could translate into significant lost revenue.

Let's do the math. If 4**,000 design professionals** search for products in your category each month on CADdetails, that’s 48,000 **searches per year**.

Let’s assume:

- Just 2% of those searches turn into serious product consideration →that's **960 potential opportunities**.
- Of those, only **10%** result in a specification → that's **96 specified projects per year**.

Now consider project value. If your average specified project represents just **$15,000** in product revenue, that’s: 96 **projects × $15,000 = $1,440,000 in annual revenue**.

And that’s using conservative assumptions. For manufacturers with higher-value systems (cladding, doors, site furnishings, roofing, mechanical, etc.), a single specified project can easily exceed **$50,000–$250,000**.

Waiting doesn’t just delay visibility—it means missing projects that are already in the research and specification phase.
