Standards Online How-To

Masterspec's Standards Online library is a bespoke collection of over 800 New Zealand construction Standards especially curated for, and matched to, the Masterspec system.

As Standards evolve and are updated, and new specification work sections released, new Standards are added to the collection. Because the Standards are live-linked within Masterspec and Masterspec Link, once you are logged in to Masterspec a simple click will open the Standard in a new tab.

Subscribers have 24/7 electronic online access to a portfolio of more than 800 building related Standards as referenced in Masterspec.
