Study Provides Roadmap to Enhancing Architect-Manufacturer Relationship
A new study published today by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) sheds new light on the critical relationships building product manufacturers and architects share in creating better outcomes for building owners and occupants.
“The architect’s role in specifying products is well-known in the construction industry,” said AIA EVP and Chief Operating Officer Robert Ivy, FAIA. “Feedback from The Architect’s Journey to Specification gives manufacturers a better understanding of an architect’s process for specifying products and how they can support them. Acting on this feedback can help architects in the design process and help manufacturers to provide more attractive offerings in the marketplace.”
