For subcontractors and the GC PMs who review them

Don't get your submittal kicked back.
Catch deviations before the GC does.

Upload your spec section and your submittal package. Every deviation comes back with the verbatim spec quote, a severity, and the suggested fix - in under 5 minutes for $35. Industry estimates put one rejected submittal at roughly $805 and 2 to 4 weeks lost.

How it works

Works in both directions: subcontractors checking a package before it goes in, and GC Project Managers reviewing one that just arrived. No login or Procore subscription needed - drop two files, get a report in three formats.

Drop spec section + submittal

Upload the relevant CSI section (5-50 pages, not the full spec book) and the submittal package as one combined PDF. Native PDFs only, up to 100 MB per file. What if I have multiple files?

AI reviews against the 6-category taxonomy

Every finding maps to one of six deviation categories with default severity (Blocker, Fix and Resubmit, or Note Only). The AI quotes spec and submittal verbatim and suggests the action.

What it catches.

Six categories cover the most common submittal deviations. Every finding maps to one of these or it goes in reviewer notes for human review.

Manufacturer or Product Substitution

The submittal proposes a different manufacturer or model than spec. De-escalates to Note Only when an Architect-issued "or equal" approval letter is attached.

Performance Specification Gap

A measured property (Noise Reduction Coefficient, fire rating, slip resistance, recycled content) fails the spec threshold. Default Blocker.

Missing Certification or Compliance Documentation

Required third-party cert or test report (Underwriters Laboratories, American Society for Testing and Materials, GREENGUARD, FloorScore) is referenced but not attached.

Aesthetic Deviation

Submitted color, finish, sheen, or pattern differs from spec or approved sample. Flags textual mismatches; prompts physical-sample verification.

Detail or Installation Mismatch

Edge profile, thickness, joint pattern, fastener type, or installation method differs. Escalates to Blocker when life-safety or structural performance applies.

Submittal Package Incompleteness

A submittal item explicitly required by spec (sample, warranty, maintenance instructions, Safety Data Sheet) is missing from the package.

Pricing

Pay per review. No demo call, no subscription, no per-seat pricing. A volume tier when you're ready.

Frequently asked

I'm a subcontractor. Can I check my own submittal before it goes to the GC?

Yes. That is the most common way Deviation Check is used: run the same review the GC's reviewer will run, fix what it finds, and send a package that goes through the first time. GC Project Managers and owners' reps use the same tool on the receiving side.

Does it replace a Project Manager (PM)'s review?

No. Every report includes a PM sign-off line. The AI surfaces deviations and suggests actions; the PM decides.

What if I miss something the AI also missed?

Liability for the submittal review remains with the PM. Treat the report as a high-recall first pass, not as a defect-free guarantee. Always physically inspect samples, drawings, and field conditions per your normal workflow.

Do I need Procore or Autodesk Construction Cloud?

No. Drop two PDFs and get a report. If you do use Procore, you can export the submittal PDF and feed it in directly.

What if my submittal is a scanned image PDF?

Native PDFs (exported from Procore, Bluebeam, Word, Acrobat) work cleanly. Scanned image-only PDFs are less reliable; we may add Optical Character Recognition (OCR) pre-processing in 2026 Q3.

What if I have multiple files (addenda, drawings, multi-part submittal)?

Today the upload accepts one spec section PDF and one submittal package PDF, up to 100 MB each. If you have spec addenda, related drawing sheets, or a submittal split across cut sheets and certifications, combine them per side before upload (Bluebeam, Acrobat, or any PDF merge tool). Multi-file upload with role tagging is on the near-term roadmap. The AI also performs best on a focused spec section (5-50 pages) rather than a 1,000-page master spec book - pull just the CSI section that applies to this submittal.

Is my submittal data private?

Yes. Submittals are processed for review and never used for model training. Source files (your spec and submittal documents) are deleted within 7 days of report generation. Reports are retained for 30 days on per-submittal accounts, or for the duration of your active subscription plus 30 days post-cancellation. Export anytime within the retention window. After it closes, data is permanently deleted, with no opt-in to extend.

Which CSI divisions do you support?

Twenty-three: Existing Conditions (02), Concrete (03), Masonry (04), Metals (05), Wood/Plastics/Composites (06), Thermal and Moisture Protection (07), Openings (08), Finishes (09), Specialties (10), Equipment (11), Furnishings (12), Special Construction (13), Conveying Equipment (14), Fire Suppression (21), Plumbing (22), HVAC (23), Integrated Automation (25), Electrical (26), Communications (27), Electronic Safety and Security (28), Earthwork (31), Exterior Improvements (32), and Utilities (33).

What does "up to 1,000 reviews" on Firm Suite mean?

No per-review charge on the 3 declared projects, up to 1,000 reviews per firm per calendar month. Per-account rate limits of 100 reviews per 24 hours and 20 per hour. Sustained usage above 1,000 per month triggers a conversation about a custom enterprise tier, not a silent shut-off. Full rules in Terms of Service section 7.1.
