Envisioned to enhance the IT productivity & Global competitiveness of the Filipino Architect by tapping the power of the Internet and harnessing the myriad of information that it brings into a manageable & useful resource. With this end-view in mind, this Industry-Portal was developed offering a 3-pronged solution: 1) to build an internet home for the Philippine Building Industry, 2) to establish a file-sharing facility for digital resources, and 3) to provide a centralized director index and showcasing venue for locally available building products & services.

The website has thus become the embodiment of 3 special projects that have long been yearned for by the profession; 1) the CYBER-COMMUNITY of the local building industry, 2) the DATA-COOPERATIVE for building professionals, and 3) the online SPECIFICATIONS LIBRARY for building products.

The services & operations of the website is subsidized by sponsors & advertisers, essentially making all these valuable services free to everyone in the industry. By supporting the arkispecs.com website, suppliers are able to promote their products & services via 1) hyperlinked banner ads displayed to the CYBER-COMMUNITY, 2) business enlistment in the SPECS-LIB DIRECTORY, and 3) distribution of their product drawings & specs through the DATA-COOPERATIVE.
