BSD SOFTLINK(tm) PRODUCTS
FOR THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
For more information about licensing BSD SpecLink(tm)
or BSD CostLink(tm), please call (888) BSD-SOFT or
see us on the Internet at www.bsdsoftlink.com.
BSD SpecLink is an interactive, "knowledge-based"
specification writing and management system.
SpecLink is designed to allow the design professional
to prepare specs directly on the computer without
using word processing. The database is derived from
SPECTEXT(r), the Construction Sciences Research
Foundation's guide specification product, with
modifications to achieve consistency of format and
to bring individual sections up to date. Updates to
the program and database are supplied to subscribers
on a quarterly basis and the updates never overwrite
the user's edits. More information about BSD SpecLink
is located in the directory PRICING\SPECLINK on the CD-ROM.
BSD CostLink is a powerful, easy-to-use professional
cost estimating and database management system for
construction cost data. It supports user-definable work
breakdown structures, project templates, cost categories,
contractors, foreign currencies and metric measurements.
CostLink provides an easy drag-and-drop interface to
commercial databases, as well as the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers cost database, which is included at no extra
cost. CostLink is the Windows successor to BSD's
Composer Gold system and a subset of CostLink is licensed
to the Department of Defense as MCACES for Windows. More
information about BSD CostLink is located in the directory
PRICING\COSTLINK on the CD-ROM.
Both BSD SpecLink and BSD CostLink can be installed for
limited use for evaluation purposes without payment of
