Caught before submission. Not after rejection.
Most tools grade what a subcontractor submits. BuildAhead reads your specifications, drawings, and addenda and finds what is wrong in them first — while there is still time to fix it, and every finding cited to the exact clause on the exact page.
Stale standard editions
Your spec cites ASTM C94-15; the current edition is C94-22. BuildAhead resolves every cited standard against a registry and flags the ones on a superseded or withdrawn edition — page-anchored, off seeded metadata, with no external lookup and never the standard's own text.
- Superseded vs. withdrawn vs. current, per citation
- Bounded by the registry's as-of date
- A source link to the exact page
Non-compliant products, before a package exists
A named product that violates the spec's own threshold — a VOC over the stated ceiling, a class below the stated minimum — is surfaced from the specification itself. No submittal package has to be uploaded for the finding to appear.
- Checked against the spec's own numeric threshold
- The right comparison operator, never guessed
- Caught at review time, not in the field
Spec-versus-drawing conflicts
When the drawing schedule and the specification disagree about the same material, BuildAhead surfaces the disagreement with a citation on both sides — the dispute you would otherwise discover as an RFI, or worse, as rework.
- Both sources cited, side by side
- Surfaced automatically at reconciliation
- A record you can stand behind later
Standards, resolved against a registry — before you issue.
Superseded and withdrawn editions flagged with the current edition, the registry as-of date, and a link to the exact page. Only the citation is shown, never the standard’s text.
