Great news for architects this month, as Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan pledges £10 million to local councils to bolster their housing and planning teams. Called the ‘Homebuilding Capacity Fund’, it hopes to build a new generation of council houses and recruit architects towards this goal.

This fund coincides with ‘Building Council Homes for Londoners initiative’ that offers £1 billion for new council housing. This, in conjunction with the Prime Minister’s removal of the borrowing cap for local councils should see a boost in housing development across the country, resulting in greater opportunities for architects nationwide.

At Bristan, we’ve been exploring how we can help save architects time, with efficient and effective products and services, including our Spec Builder.

Time is a precious commodity for busy specifiers and architects, so any tool that makes it easier to produce project specifications for commercial applications is greatly welcomed. That’s where Bristan’s Spec Builder comes in.

The Spec Builder application allows any user to produce bespoke specifications with Bristan products via the website. The application is easy to navigate and users can create and save their individual specifications by project, so that they can be re-visited and amended if necessary.

The process from start to finish is hassle-free and specifiers can re-load individual specifications to use as reference, or they can be downloaded from the application for pricing.
