NATSPEC subscriber case studies showcase the real-world benefits of NATSPEC specifications and Branded Worksections. For the Winter Product Partners Newsletter, we’re deconstructing a case study from Spowers to discover what they find most useful about NATSPEC and Branded Worksections.

NATSPEC Subscriber:
Spowers

Project Name:
Japara ‘The Regent’ Aged Care Facility, Mount Waverley, VIC

The project in one sentence:
“The Regent accommodates 105 modern apartments to suit low- to high-care needs, as well as communal spaces for residents to enjoy with visitors and guests, backed by a belief that connection to family, friends and community is essential to our wellbeing and critical to a successful transition to aged residential care.”

What were the advantages of the NATSPEC system for Spowers?

“NATSPEC provides the design team with up-to-date reference material and relevant Australian Standards clauses that are easily identified and quickly referenced. The ease with which relevant sections and clauses can be extracted and assembled to tailor specifications to suit a particular project is of immense benefit to the design and delivery team, saving time and energy.

“At The Regent, we were able to assess comfort and thermal requirements and use NATSPEC’s Branded Worksections to specify insulation and flooring underlay that suits the needs of users and authorities. We selected powder coating and roofing that would perform at industry best practice levels and contribute positively to the overall aesthetics of the building.

“Our office has been using NATSPEC for many years now. It is easier than ever with the inbuilt formatting of the document templates, resulting in a well-organised, user-friendly and professional document.”
