About SpecHub

SpecHub is DCP's specification workspace for architects, engineers, consultants and specifiers: the place to find, specify and check DCP systems for a project, and to keep the record.

What SpecHub is

SpecHub is where Don Construction Products (DCP) puts its systems, products and technical knowledge in the hands of the people who specify them. It starts from the building, not the product list, and ends with a specification you can put in your project.

What you can do in it

  • Find the right system

    Start from the building. The Solution Finder and DCP City show the DCP system for each place in a project, and DCP ARMOUR sets the waterproofing level for the water and the use.

How access works

  1. Sign up. Use your work email. Many pages can be looked at without an account.
  2. Confirm your email. Your account opens when you confirm it. DCP may review accounts and close any that are not for professional use, and some tools are opened account by account.
  3. Accept the terms. You agree to the Terms of use when you sign up, and again if they change.
  4. Colleagues can be invited. Ask the DCP specification team to invite a colleague by email: the account is approved already, and they create their own password from the link. Colleagues you add to a design brief are reviewed by DCP before their account opens.
