How does Speckel work with suppliers?
If you are a supplier with tested data to local code requirements, we would love to hear from you. Speckel charges suppliers fees to indirectly promote product lines within our applications so users can confidentily access data and model systems and whole buildings against local code requirements.
Who are Speckel?
Speckel are a team with a strong background in building science, mechanical engineering, and software development. Our purpose is simple - create better opportunities forbuilding design and construction teams that improve outcomes for the built environment.
With a focus on healthier, safer,and more energy efficient building envelope solutions, Speckel is uniquely placed to engage users through an often-bewildering maze of ideas and requirements, without the typical time penalties of modern design. Through collaboration, sharing knowledge, and disrupting the status quo, we will:
•Drive better outcomes in building envelope design and construction
•Keep the industry ahead of the curve, removing barriers to knowledge via education and openness
•Create useful, human centric web applications to integrate into projectteams
•Encourage greater awareness and uptake of better envelope building products and techniques
We encourage specifiers to enjoy our platform by making use of the dozens of free features for general use. We ask for your name and email address so we can register you as a user, but that’s about it. While you will get great value, certain features and capabilities are only available by upgrading to our Practice Level.
Why are some suppliers not on Speckel?
We encourage suppliers to add products onto the Speckel database, through a review process that audits specific information required by our calculations.
There will always be suppliers that are not on Speckel as a small cost is associated to the platform. However, some suppliers have also been unable to complete the auditing process and therefore have either not made it to the platform or have been removed.
We take out data integrity seriously. If you find a product that you believe should not be on Speckel, please get in touch!
Is Speckel is a vendor neutral service?
While we support and work with trusted suppliers, with proven product testing, we do not show any bias towards one supplier or product over another.
What is the Speckel business model?
Speckel is a multi-sided,mass market model, serving two independent customer segments - suppliers and users (engineers, architects, main contractors, and sub-contractors).
Bringing together these independent groups of customer segments, Speckel is a facilitator for userswith different needs but with the common requirement to specify products accurately.
To ensure the highest uptake, Speckel has adopted a freemium business model. Freemium, common on web-based software platforms, aims to blend high value free basics services with paid premium services to create the highest user uptake. The free basic services ensure no barriers to market for users, enabling them to get access to all products and templates available on the platform.
What are the Speckel supplier-side service options?
Through confidential discussionswith building envelope suppliers, Speckel has created three opportunities for suppliers to gain access or use the Speckel platform.
Theses opportunities are based on likely marketing budgets and are defined as Standard, Plus, and Premium. Quarterly feedback is provided to suppliers via our platform metrics, which provide product and general market data. No user information is provided.
Our Standard service offering enables suppliers to add products to the Speckel database and is the easiest way to engage our users. The process is quick, where the supplier provides the following:
2. Product technical or marketing material
3. Product technical information, tested to NCC 2019 deemed-to-satisfy requirements.
Once a review of step three has been completed by Speckel, products are published to Speckel.
