On Feb. 25, 2026, the American Institute of Architects (AIA), in collaboration with Deltek and ConstructConnect, published the latest Architect’s Journey to Specification report, exploring how architects make specification decisions and collaborate with building product manufacturers.
Innovation & Collaboration in the Architect’s Journey to Specification, provides comprehensive analysis of three key areas; how architects engage with manufacturers, adopt innovative technologies and integrate sustainability into their design processes.
“By understanding these trends, the profession can strengthen collaboration, accelerate innovation, and advance sustainable practices that benefit clients and communities,” said AIA EVP/Chief Executive Officer Carole Wedge, FAIA.
