BSD SpecLink® develops and sells innovative software tools for the architecture, engineering, and construction markets of North America. Founded in 1983, the company creates, maintains, and supports advanced cost estimating and specification writing products used by thousands of architects, engineers and design professionals nationwide.

Their software products enable their customers to perform more efficiently in the areas of cost management, cost engineering, value analysis, and specification development. BSD's current line of BSD SoftLink^® products is gaining wide acceptance as state-of-the-art software because of the innovative ways that data is linked and displayed. All of the BSD SoftLink products are designed to ultimately share information with each other.

BSD understands that the true value of software is in the implementation and support rather than in the purchase price, so their goal is to provide the best support and follow-up in the A/E/C industry. They offer a full range of training options to meet the needs of both the novice and advanced user, both at their Atlanta facility and at your site.

Besides product development, technical support, and software training, BSD also provides custom software engineering and consulting within their industry boundaries. If you have a need for construction-related software, they may be able to provide the solution.

BSD and the Construction Specifications Institute have formed a strategic alliance to promote innovative construction industry software. The PerSpective^® performance specifications product is now included in BSD's SpecLink product. Originally released in 1999, PerSpective was developed for CSI/DBIA by BSD

Prior to moving into commercial software development, BSD developed software products for the Federal government for over 15 years. BSD developed the highly successful MCACES software which is still used by the Corps of Engineers and the Department of Defense for detailed estimating. They also developed the original Historical Analysis Generator software for the Corps, as well as the Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCC) system, and their BSD CostLink/CM still supports data exchange with DOD and Corps of Engineers MCACES Gold formatted projects.
