Spec Pack request checklist
Architectural acoustics moves faster when everyone is aligned early.
If you’re requesting a Spec Pack for architectural acoustic panels (walls, ceilings, or both), this checklist helps you send the right information the first time—so you receive the most relevant documentation with fewer follow-ups.
What a Spec Pack is (and what it’s for)
A Spec Pack is a request-only set of documentation-ready references designed to help you move from design intent to coordination and RFQ. It’s built for speed: fewer assumptions, fewer emails, clearer decisions.
Who this checklist is for
Architects, interior designers, builders and contractors specifying architectural acoustic panels for walls & ceilings in Australia.
Start with the system shortlist (in spec order)
If you already know the direction, choose one system (or shortlist 1–2):
Micro-Perforated → Perforated → Slat → Slot → Solid
If you’re unsure, tell us two things: wall or ceiling, and refined vs patterned.
Copy-paste Spec Pack Request Checklist
Use this format in the request form (or paste into a message if needed):
1) Project basics
Project type: Commercial / Hospitality / Education / Healthcare / Retail / Residential
Location (state/city):
Project stage: Concept / DD / Tender / Construction
Dates: need-by / install-by (approx. is fine)
2) Surface + intent
Walls / ceilings (or both):
Priority: feature zones / broad coverage / both
Visual language: refined (minimal) / patterned (expressive)
3) System shortlist
Preferred system (or shortlist 1–2): Micro-Perforated / Perforated / Slat / Slot / Solid
Any pattern preference (if relevant):
4) Area + quantities (estimate is fine)
Approx. area (m²) per zone:
Number of zones/rooms:
Any key constraints (services, access, maintenance)
5) Coordination notes (the time saver)
Ceiling services coordination needed (HVAC/lights/sprinklers): yes/no
Edge / trim expectations: standard / defined detail
Cleaning/durability expectations: standard / high
6) Compliance (only if relevant)
Fire pathway required? yes / no / unsureIf yes, request a Fire Pack in the same submission.
Common mistakes (and how to avoid them)
“We need acoustic panels” without wall/ceiling intent → decide surface first
No timeframe → add need-by/install-by (even approximate)
Too many options → shortlist 1–2 systems max
Missing constraints → one line on services/access saves days later
