Parallel’s Technical Support Simplifies Specifications
For specifiers and engineers, navigating complex installations can be a demanding process that requires technical documentation and support. From technical documents to installation help, Parallel’s support team makes sure every project has clear guidance.
We know that successful installations need more than good specifications. They also need a support system that fits the unique challenges of each project. Our team works closely with specifiers and engineers, helping to create an efficient and reliable path to successful specifications.
At Parallel, we believe that technical specification documents should be easily accessible and obtainable. Product specifications should be drafted in simple contexts and include all variables for each application.
How We Meet the Needs of Specifiers & Engineers
Understanding the fundamentals of our products drives our approach to technical documentation. With aluminum extrusions comprising approximately 97% of Parallel’s product line, we anchor our specifications firmly to the 2024 Standards of Aluminum Association. This ensures that every product meets rigorous industry requirements.
Instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach, we market and document each system and application separately to understand the niche features and needs of each project. Before writing technical specifications, we begin with a crucial question that shapes our development process: “How is our product intended to perform in its intended design application?” This performance-first mindset helps us refine complex technical information into clear, purposeful specifications.
By starting with the end goal, we can more effectively organize and present all technical data, creating documents that are both comprehensive and accessible for their intended application.
How Parallel Simplifies Complex Technical Specifications for Engineers
The path to finding and interpreting technical guidance documents shouldn’t be an obstacle for industry professionals. Presenting all project requirements in a clear manner is important.
By focusing on making all information readily accessible, we help professionals focus on what truly matters: designing and implementing effective solutions.
Parallel’s technical support team takes a tailored approach to specifications, offering guidance across various engineering applications. We turn complex technical requirements into clear solutions that meet the specific needs of any project scope.
We have direct collaboration between our technical experts and project stakeholders – from architects to Engineers of Record (EORs). These hands-on methods let us share useful insights and discuss best practices.
Balancing Technical Depth & Clarity
Our approach to specification development combines cutting-edge tools with deep market intelligence to deliver unmatched technical documentation. We incorporate competitive tracking that monitors real-time market trends and specifications across the industry.
We compare our solutions with alternative products in similar applications to maintain a nuanced understanding of where our specifications stand in the market landscape. Our spec-writers stay up to speed with current building code requirements to ensure proper section classification(s).

Referencing Emerging Technologies & Engineering Practices
Parallel leads in digital innovation by using advanced engineering and construction methods that are changing the industry. By using new software solutions in our departments, we have improved how we work together. We collaborate better on drawings, market materials, and product development.
The integration of these technologies enables our teams to work seamlessly together to maintain precision in our products. We use our knowledge to learn new technologies and engineering methods to ensure accuracy and consistency in every document we produce.
Verifying the Accuracy of Technical Documents with Quality Control Processes
Quality control at Parallel starts when raw materials arrive at our facility. Our shipping team is the first line of defense in our quality assurance process. These skilled personnel are trained to identify and document potential material defects before they can impact production and packaging orders.
We’ve implemented a strict procedure that prevents us from cycling raw materials into production until we thoroughly evaluate them for specification consistency. This inspection process, beginning with delivery and extending through final packaging, ensures that every product leaving our facility meets and exceeds industry standards.
What Sets Parallel Apart from Others in the Industry
One of our goals is to create specifications that give architects and engineers an “Aha!” or “Eureka!” moment. We know it is important for our products to be easy to understand, so we ensure that every specification is clear. The document includes test standards, available options, finish choices, and best practices that experts have proven to work.
A key aspect of our technical documents is to provide proper classification of the applications and their uses. This comprehensive and accessible approach allows professionals to engage with our technical materials, having clarity and confidence in their design decisions.
