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.
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.
Upload the relevant CSI section (5-50 pages, not the full spec book) and your submittal files - up to 10 PDFs per review, no need to merge them first. Native PDFs only, up to 100 MB per file. What if I have multiple files?
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.
1-page executive summary with severity tally, top findings, and Project Manager (PM) signature line. Full detail follows on subsequent pages. HTML, Markdown, JSON.
Six categories cover the most common submittal deviations. Every finding maps to one of these or it goes in reviewer notes for human review.
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.
A measured property (Noise Reduction Coefficient, fire rating, slip resistance, recycled content) fails the spec threshold. Default Blocker.
Required third-party cert or test report (Underwriters Laboratories, American Society for Testing and Materials, GREENGUARD, FloorScore) is referenced but not attached.
Submitted color, finish, sheen, or pattern differs from spec or approved sample. Flags textual mismatches; prompts physical-sample verification.
Edge profile, thickness, joint pattern, fastener type, or installation method differs. Escalates to Blocker when life-safety or structural performance applies.
A submittal item explicitly required by spec (sample, warranty, maintenance instructions, Safety Data Sheet) is missing from the package.
Pay per review. No demo call, no subscription, no per-seat pricing. A volume tier when you're ready.
Need more than one project? Firm Suite covers 3 active projects and up to 1,000 reviews a month at $4,500/month. Talk to us first - we'd rather you run a few $35 reviews and scale when the reports earn it.
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.
No. Every report includes a PM sign-off line. The AI surfaces deviations and suggests actions; the PM decides.
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.
No. Drop your PDFs and get a report. If you do use Procore, you can export the submittal PDF and feed it in directly.
Native PDFs (exported from Procore, Bluebeam, Word, Acrobat) work cleanly. Scanned image-only PDFs are read as images and can lower confidence; for the most reliable result, upload a native (searchable) PDF.
The upload takes one spec section PDF plus up to 10 submittal PDFs per review, 100 MB each, so you can add cut sheets, certifications, and related drawing sheets as separate files instead of merging them. The spec still goes in as a single file - if you have spec addenda, merge those into the spec PDF (Bluebeam, Acrobat, or any PDF merge tool). 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.
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.
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).
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.
