Deliberate Words
by Conspectus, Inc. - decision managers, word masters, aggregators. There is tremendous power in a word that is perfectly placed at the best location, at the best time, during the design and construction process of a project. Deliberate words can manage success, build trust, and provide transparency that every member of the project team craves. As decision managers of the team, Conspectus explores the notion of how transparency transforms three main components of every project: behavior, content, and outcomes, through the appropriate usage of words. Behavior of every participant, is the foundation communication and collaboration, through deliberate words. It will transform the team, and build strong relationships. Content, the documentation built on these relationships, containing deliberate words, is then transformed. The outcome is a successful project, with a legacy of ultimate collaboration. Join us as we chat with members of the architectural, engineering, construction, and owner communities to learn how deliberate word shape their contributions, their projects, and their world! Through these conversations, words aggregate decisions, and transforms perspectives on transparency in the decision-making process.

What A Week! CSI National Conference: Cleveland, Connections, Curiosities
🎙️ CSI National Recap: Cleveland, Connections & Curiosities
Where specs met stories, friendships, and curiosity took center stage.
In this lively episode of What a Week, the Conspectus team takes a break while specifiers Terumi Woods, Melody Fontenot, and Hana Nguyenky share their experiences from the CSI National Conference in Cleveland.
They reflect on the best parts of the week — reconnecting with colleagues, celebrating new CSI Fellows, and diving into sessions that inspired both seasoned pros and emerging specifiers. Highlights included the keynote “How to Be More Interesting Than a Cell Phone,” discussions on whole building testing, social media for specifiers, and a surprisingly fascinating look at phenolic deck work.
From Conspectus Cloud socks and face cookies that stole the show, to unexpected discoveries about Cleveland’s glass-blowing culture and Superman roots, the trio captures the fun, energy, and connection that define CSI.
It’s a celebration of people, learning, and city vibes — proving once again that when specifiers come together, the stories write themselves.
