Why Choose Us?
TRC has been committed to quality construction specifications for nearly 30 years. During this time there has been a recognizable decline in the number of specifiers in the industry. Where there was once difficulty in getting a job as a specifier now it is difficult to find a specifier.
In recent years specification software has improved and several options exist in the market today that make specifications more manageable. While these systems won’t replace human interaction or project-specific customization, they simplify the redundancy of some specification tasks and improve overall quality control.
Our goal with Teaching Construction Specifications is to empower construction teams to develop and further edit specifications for projects and incorporate industry standard practices and language.
Whether the need is a seminar or workshop, project kick-off, or working with a young professional in your office, we look forward to partnering with your office to upskill your team in the production of quality specifications.
Please contact me at sherry@trc-consultants.com to discuss how we can enhance your teams’ confidence in development, coordination, and delivery of project specifications.

Starting her architectural career in Sacramento and settled now in Spokane, Sherry quickly found her interest in architecture was exploring the integration of materials and coordination of drawings and specifications. Having found that focus Sherry spent her career dedicated to writing specifications for clients and manufacturers across the country on a variety of project types.
Despite working remotely with the vast majority of her clients, Sherry was able to develop strong relationships with the people she works with. Writing and consulting provided numerous opportunities to assist her clients with project-specific material research, material classification, and use specifications to bridge the gap between drawings and construction.
She remains committed to connecting people and products and being a resource to the construction industry as her emphasis is redirected toward teaching principles of specification writing and mentoring future specifiers.
