Faith Brown

Faith A. Brown, CSI, CDT

Specifications Writer

Faith has spent more than 15 years writing architectural specifications ranging in size from small fast-burn tenant improvements to technically complex multi-building compounds. She has been responsible for preparing project specifications and determining innovative ways to meet client needs through construction specification research and delivery. Her detailed approach enables her to assist the project team in resolving problems related to the use and installation of building materials and products as well as evaluating their suitability for the intended application, proposing alternative products when appropriate.

Project work has evolved in this timeframe starting with Federal compounds, K-12 and higher education projects and public service buildings while engaged with an architecture firm. The formation of Integrated Spec Solutions provided opportunity for project expansion as well, building on her K-12 experience, Faith broke into the elder care facilities and multi-use/mixed-use market. Specifications for these projects include several different sustainable design approaches and the delivery methods for these projects included the traditional Design, Bid, Build as well as Design Build and GC/CM. With her drafting background, Faith enjoys reviewing the drawings to verify that the specifications are well coordinated. This coordination effort is no doubt due to her active membership in CSI, which focuses on communication among all members in the construction industry. Faith has diligently studied proper CSI principles and formats and applies them to her projects.
