In addition to writing technical specifications, Heller & Metzger is regarded as a leader in the preparation of Division 01 Specifications. Our President Emeritus, Barbara Heller, served on the AIA Documents committee from 1991 to 2005 and was the Chair from 2003-2005.
​
Heller & Metzger has participated in the preparation of Division 01 documents for very complex and prestigious projects including the Ronald Reagan Building (one of the earliest CMa projects) and the Renovation of the Pentagon (one of the earliest Design-Build projects). Understanding how to effectively administer contracts requires more than an understanding of content.
