Submittal Processing

Automated submittal review with AI compliance checking against project specifications.

What it does

Submittals get backed up because every review is a manual cross-check against the spec — does this product meet the requirements, does this shop drawing match the contract drawing, are the certifications valid. Submittal Processing runs the first pass automatically: extracts the relevant compliance criteria from the spec, compares against the submittal content, flags anything that doesn't match.

The reviewer doesn't skip the human review — they get a head start on it. A 200-page submittal that used to take an afternoon now arrives with a 2-page AI-generated compliance summary. Reviewer focuses on the items the AI flagged or wasn't confident about, signs off on the rest.

Compliant submittals close faster. Non-compliant submittals get rejected back with specific spec citations — not "see Section 4 of the spec" but "this product's compressive strength of 4,000 psi does not meet Section 1020.04(b) which requires 4,500 psi."

Key capabilities

Built for construction professionals — not generic SaaS.

AI compliance summary

Each submittal arrives with an AI-generated compliance check: which spec sections govern it, where the submittal content matches, where it doesn't, and what couldn't be verified.

Material certification verification

For material submittals, the system checks that included certifications (LA-15, BBS 59, Bill of Lading, etc.) match the evidence-of-material types required for the affected pay items.

Shop drawing comparison

Shop drawings can be overlaid against the contract drawing for the same area. Differences highlighted — geometry, dimensions, callouts.

Routing + escalation

Submittals route to the reviewer responsible for that scope. Escalation rules trigger when a submittal sits past its target review time.

Linked rejection cycle

When a submittal is rejected, the rejection comments link back to the specific clauses that drove the rejection. Resubmittal cycle is shorter because the contractor sees exactly what to fix.

Approval tracking + status board

Every submittal's status is visible at a glance — pending, in review, approved, approved-as-noted, rejected, resubmitted. Project dashboard shows the bottleneck items.

How it works

When a submittal lands, the system identifies the affected pay items (either from the contractor's tagging or by extracting pay-item references from the submittal content) and pulls the governing spec sections from the project's indexed Special Provisions and Standard Specs.

The AI then runs each spec requirement against the submittal content — does this submittal address requirement X? Does it match the threshold? — and produces a structured compliance report. The reviewer sees green / yellow / red per requirement with the specific citations.

For material certifications, the system uses the FY agency Documentation Appendix (the evidence-code mapping table) to check that the right cert type is included for the right pay item.
