➡ "Tariffs Incoming" and "Specify Local in Division 01" unpacked how global trade shifts should shape your specifications—encouraging local sourcing strategies.
➡ "Approval Pending?" dove into what it really means to earn a section’s place in the spec.
➡ And in "We Talked Briefly", V Specs offered a sharp reminder that hallway chats don’t count as coordination meetings.
