Analyze
Understand the documents and requirements that shape the opportunity.
Access control design
Make every controlled opening understandable on the plan.
SpecSense supports access control design and takeoff with custom door-device symbols, plan markups, counts, legends, notes, and professional drawing presentation.

Review
Keep findings, sources, exceptions, and project decisions visible.
Deliver
Carry reviewed information into takeoffs, drawings, reports, and project handoff.
A door is a coordinated system
An access-controlled opening may involve a reader, electric lock or strike, request-to-exit device, door position switch, power transfer, power supply, controller, intercom, and interfaces with life-safety or security systems. The exact device set depends on the opening, hardware schedule, sequence of operation, and project requirements.
A clear design makes those relationships visible before the installer is standing at the door.
Build the plan around real openings
Door and system symbols
Represent readers, locks, REX, contacts, controllers, power, and related equipment with clear company standards.
Counts and scope
Review quantities by device type, sheet, and system while retaining the location context.
Notes and presentation
Add system notes, legends, title blocks, and cover sheets for a more understandable drawing package.
Coordination context
Review architectural door information, hardware, electrical power, and other disciplines that affect the opening.
Design support—not code approval
SpecSense helps plan and document device intent. It does not automatically certify door hardware, egress, fire-alarm interfaces, accessibility, electrical requirements, or code compliance. Those decisions require project-specific review by the responsible professionals and authorities.
Connect design with takeoff
Because device symbols live on the plan, the design can support takeoff counts and project reporting. This gives estimators and project teams a clearer path from opening requirements to quantities and deliverables.
