A&D Specification Support — A Professional Guide for Architects & Designers

Yes. La Mercanti partners with architects and interior designers (A&D) worldwide to develop clean, buildable specifications for office, hospitality/contract, and high-end residential projects. We curate authentic Made in Italy collections and provide the technical content, samples, pricing, and logistics you need—from concept through installation.


Where we add value

  • Product curation for executive suites, open offices, meeting & collaboration, reception, lounge, hospitality and bespoke pieces.
  • Specification writing (models, options, finishes, accessories) aligned to performance and budget.
  • BIM & drawings: Revit families, DWG blocks, dimensioned cut sheets.
  • Samples: woods/veneers, lacquers, metals, fabrics, leathers.
  • Budgeting & value engineering with equivalent alternates that preserve design intent.
  • Global delivery: consolidated procurement, export documentation, white-glove installation, punch-list closeout.
  • Aftercare: warranty support, spares, and future add-ons.

How to start a specification or get a quote

  1. Share your brief
    Send plans (PDF/DWG/Revit), scope, aesthetic direction, quantities, target budget, timeline, and any brand standards.
  2. Receive a focused shortlist
    We return curated options with finishes, lead-time guidance, and preliminary pricing.
  3. Lock the spec
    You approve a clear Spec Pack (final model/finish codes, quantities, accessories, installation notes). We then issue a detailed quotation and schedule.

Need only a spec check? We can review compatibility, cable management, power/data, clearances, and propose alternates as needed.


Specification deliverables you can request

  • Cut sheets and BIM (Revit)/DWG content
  • Finish libraries and labeled sample sets
  • CSI/UniClass-style schedules or your office template
  • Budget matrices (good/better/best) and phasing plans
  • Installation guidelines, care & maintenance notes

Technical, compliance & sustainability

On request we can provide available manufacturer documentation such as BIFMA/EN durability tests, fire-safety/upholstery guidance (region-specific), low-emission finishes, FSC sourcing, and EPD/HPD where issued by the brand. We also flag practical issues early (ergonomics, power standards, cable routing, ADA/clearances where applicable).


Logistics & installation (global)

  • Factory consolidation in Italy
  • Export packing and insurance
  • Ocean/air freight with customs support
  • White-glove delivery, placement, assembly, and removal of packing
  • Punch-list resolution and as-built updates

What to send us (copy/paste checklist)

  • Project name & location
  • Plans/elevations (PDF + DWG/Revit if available)
  • Room/area schedule with quantities
  • Mood/finish direction and any brand guidelines
  • Target budget (per area or overall)
  • Required services (spec only / spec + procurement / spec + install)
  • Deadline or key milestones
