For architects, building designers and engineers, correct product specification can mean the difference between a successful build and costly rectifications. 
 

To help specifiers get product selection right, Fosroc ANZ's highly skilled and experienced specification managers provide expert advice and guidance throughout every stage of the construction process, from design and documentation to ongoing maintenance requirements.

A complimentary service

National Commercial Manager, Aaron Cusack says that Fosroc's free specification service offers unbeatable value and benefit.

"Whether it's a new build or a remediation project, our technical experts can help specifiers navigate the complexities of product specification and avoid the costly consequences of poor product selection or application," he says.

Expertise across all aspects of construction

With expertise that spans the full gamut of construction challenges, including concrete durability, flooring, waterproofing, jointing systems and waterstops, the Fosroc ANZ Specification team can support every aspect of a build.
 

"If we can't provide a Fosroc solution, our team has access and reach across the full suite of Dulux products so that we quite literally have every aspect of a project covered," Aaron explains.

"We provide specifiers, engineers, builders and architects with a one-stop shop for advice and construction solutions, saving them time and money and giving them the confidence that all systems are compatible."

Seek advice early to save time and money

Aaron explains that the earlier clients engage with Fosroc's Specification Team, the better.
 

"Bringing the team in early saves time and ensures the project is on the right track from the outset," he says. "Architects don't have to spend precious hours researching the latest products and regulations. They can simply contact our specification team for accurate answers to all their questions.

Through Fosroc's specification service, clients have access to:

  • Advice on product and application selection
  • Product documentation including Technical Data and Safety Data Sheets
  • Assistance with writing and reviewing Specification Clauses
  • Assistance with writing and reviewing Method Statements
  • Detail drawings
  • Test data, including slip data, VOC levels and fire resistance

  • Advice on Green Star requirements and documentation

Unsurpassed technical support

Aaron points out that the depth of technical expertise offered by Fosroc is unsurpassed.

"There is so much technical capability within the Fosroc team, which is a huge benefit for clients," he explains. "Every state has one or two Specification Managers, and behind them we have our technical support specialists who offer that extra level of technical knowledge. In addition we have our Product Segment Specialists."

"With Fosroc you're not just buying products, you're investing in experience and expertise," he says.

Online specification resources

While specifiers are increasingly turning to online specification platforms such as Archify and NatSpec, Aaron stresses the advantages of engaging in person with Specification Managers to validate selections.

"Specification platforms serve a valuable role for architects and designers who can leverage them to download products and documentation," he says. "But nothing beats speaking directly to a Fosroc specification expert about a particular project and its unique challenges."

In addition to Dulux's own specification tool, DuSpec+, Fosroc products are available through:

"Construction is an ever-evolving industry, and staying on top of the latest products, standards, and regulations can be an enormous challenge for busy architects and designers," Aaron explains.

"What used to work, or what was used previously may not be current today," he says. "Some products may not be fit for purpose due to changes to the building code or new regulations. Referring to online resources is a great first step, however having a conversation with Fosroc in the first instance is always advisable."
