Resources · Standards Library
Installation Standards Library. The same documents we hand to our trades.
Restrepo Innovations authors a working library of installation standards for architects, builders, electricians, owners reps, and our fellow integrators. Eighteen documents in three formats: full field manuals, single-sheet on-site one-pagers, and deep pre-wall detail standards. Use them on Restrepo projects. Use them on yours. Trade-share encouraged. Rebrand or resale prohibited.

For Architects, Builders, Electricians & Dealers
Hand these to your team.
Every Restrepo project starts with the same documents. We share them publicly because the better the trade understands the spec, the cleaner the project finishes. Architects use them at design development. Builders use them at framing and rough. Electricians use them at panel and device coordination. Painters and finishers reference them at trim-out. Dealers in our network use them to specify their own projects.
If you are working a Restrepo project, these are the standards. If you are not yet, they are still yours to use. Reference them, share them, hand them to your team.
A note on use: these documents are watermarked because they are authored work. Use them, share them, print them, post them on a job-site wall. Do not rebrand them and do not resell them. If you want a private-label version of the standards for your own firm, reach out. that is a real conversation we have with partners.
