RIB SpecLink is a proud partner of Construction Specifications Canada (CSC), Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC), and has harmonized all content with the Canadian Construction Documents Committee (CCDC).
Construction Catalogs
The database is divided into catalogs, by design discipline and scope. When you subscribe to SpecLink you purchase access only to those catalog(s) that meet your needs.
A brief summary of the catalogs appears below. Section count alone does not determine the volume of content available.
RIB groups work results together under MasterFormat’s medium scope levels for the most efficient workflow keeping the section count in your project to only those needed.
