Clear specs from the start. Fewer costly mistakes mid-build.
Ressio specifications keep every project requirement documented, shared, and current. Your team, your subs, and your clients are all aligned on exactly what's been agreed — before a nail goes in.

Specifications that keep everyone aligned — from contract to closeout
Scope creep starts when what's agreed isn't written down. Ressio specs give you a single, shared source of truth for every project requirement.
Same structure as your estimate — nothing falls through the cracks.
Specs organized by category — mirroring your estimate
Your specifications are structured the same way as your estimate — by category and item. Budget items sync automatically to your spec sheet, so you're not building the spec from scratch. Add descriptions, notes, and custom fields to capture exactly what was agreed for each scope item.
- Spec structure mirrors your estimate categories automatically
- Budget items sync to spec sheet — no double entry
- Rich text descriptions for detailed specifications per item
- Custom fields for item-specific notes and requirements

Who can see this spec
Share selectively — clients see finishes, vendors see what they install.
Share specs with clients and vendors — selectively
Control who sees what. Share specs with clients through the portal so they have a clear record of what's included in their project. Share with vendors through the vendor portal so subs are working from the current spec — not a printout from three months ago. Internal notes stay internal.
- Share with clients via portal — they see the agreed scope
- Share with vendors via vendor portal — subs work from the live spec
- QR codes link directly to specific spec pages or sections
- Private items remain internal — not visible to clients or subs

Specs that stay current — not a PDF from six months ago
When specs change, update them in Ressio. Everyone with access sees the current version — not an outdated PDF someone emailed in February. Changes tracked. History preserved. No more 'which version are we working from?'
- Live spec sheet — always shows the current agreed scope
- Changes to budget items sync back to spec automatically
- Version history preserved for audit and dispute resolution
- Replace a spec item and old version is retained in history

Photos and cut sheets attached — specs with a visual reference.
Attached files and photos — specs with visual reference
Attach product cut sheets, drawings, finish samples, and reference photos directly to spec items. When a sub needs to know the exact tile model number or cabinet spec, they find it in the spec — not in a text chain. Everything they need to execute is attached to the item it relates to.
- Attach files and photos to individual spec items
- Product cut sheets, drawings, and samples attached in context
- Vendor-facing attachments visible in the vendor portal
- Files accessible from any device including mobile
From estimate to signed spec in three steps
Build the spec from your estimate
Ressio syncs your budget items to the spec sheet automatically. Add descriptions, notes, and attachments to each item. Your spec is mostly built the moment your estimate is done.
Share with clients and subs
Control visibility per item and release the spec to clients via the portal and vendors via the vendor portal. Everyone sees the current scope — not a stale document.
Update as the job evolves
When scope changes, update the spec. Changes sync to the budget. History is preserved. Your record of what was agreed stays accurate from contract to closeout.
Specifications connected to your whole project
Ressio specs aren't a standalone document — they're connected to your estimate, selections, vendor portal, and client portal so the agreed scope travels through the whole job.
Spec templates let you save your standard specification structure and apply it to every new project automatically.

Frequently asked questions
Ressio specifications are organized by category, mirroring your estimate structure. Budget items sync to the spec sheet automatically — you add descriptions, notes, and file attachments to document exactly what's been agreed. Specs can be shared with clients via the portal and vendors via the vendor portal, with visibility controls per item.
Yes. Budget items from your estimate automatically sync to the spec sheet. When you update a spec item, changes can reflect back to the budget. This keeps your cost structure and your scope documentation aligned without double entry.
Yes. You control which spec items are visible to clients. Shared items appear in the client portal via magic link — clients see the agreed scope without needing a Ressio account. Internal notes and private items remain hidden.
Yes. Specs can be shared with vendors through the vendor portal. Subs see the current spec for their scope of work — drawings, product specs, and notes — without needing a Ressio account. QR codes can link directly to specific spec sections.
Yes. Each spec item supports file attachments — product cut sheets, drawings, finish samples, and reference photos. Attachments are visible to whoever has access to that spec item (client, vendor, or internal only).
Yes. You can save your standard specification structure as a template and apply it to new projects. This ensures every project starts with a consistent spec framework that your team can customize from there.
Updates to spec items are reflected in real time for anyone with access. Change history is preserved so you always know what was agreed at any point in the project — useful for audit trails and resolving scope disputes.
The Plan Room is a shareable, publicly accessible space for plans, drawings, and documents. Specifications can be shared through the Plan Room with a URL or QR code — so vendors and subs can access the latest version from a job site without needing to log in.
