The submittal lifecycle, end to end.

    Five stages, from your first document upload to a graded, audit-ready verdict on every requirement. Every stage carries citations forward, so nothing ever loses its source.

    See it catch a real one
    Stage 01Live

    Document Sandbox

    Upload specs, drawings, contracts, and addenda. AI classifies every document and handles large spec sets cleanly — turning each page into citation-ready evidence with visible source-page highlights.

    Stage 02Live

    Submittal Register

    Auto-generate a complete submittal register from your specs, addenda, and drawing schedules. Every row links back to the exact spec clause or drawing cell, and your team's edits and overrides survive a re-upload.

    Stage 03Early access

    Technical Requirements

    Extract every technical requirement — strengths, tolerances, standards, VOC ceilings — from Spec Parts 2 and 3, with named products grouped into submission assemblies and every numeric threshold captured with the correct comparison operator.

    Stage 04Live

    Submittal Pre-Flight

    A subcontractor uploads a package; AI segments it into document types and a deterministic check compares it against your register checklist, telling you what is missing — auditable line by line.

    Stage 05Early access

    Submittal Analysis

    Every verified requirement is graded against the submitted package — Pass, Fail, Not Found, or Manual Review — with reasoning and citations on both sides, and a one-click PM override that is always recorded.

    Try it — click a finding

    Every finding is wired to its source page.

    A representative document set. Pick a finding on the left and see the exact clause it came from, highlighted on the page it lives on.

    A sample document set built for this demo. The findings, citations, and page highlights are exactly what the product produces on your own documents.

    Source page 20 — A cited standard on a superseded edition, with the cited clause highlighted.

    Cited source text

    “PROPORTIONING OF CONCRETE MIXTURES SHALL CONFORM TO ACI 318-14, SECTION 26.4.3.”

    Down to the named product, every one cited.

    Submission Units show what each submittal must actually contain — the assembly, its components in the spec’s own order, and the named products at each step — with a working citation on every row.

    BuildAhead Submission Units: an assembly broken into components in spec order, each named product carrying a working citation to its source page.

    One row per deliverable, every clause traceable.

    The submittal register, generated from your specs, addenda, and drawing schedules — with the workflow, purpose, and source for every line.

    BuildAhead Submittal Register: one row per deliverable, with type, purpose, workflow state, and a citation back to the source clause.

    Every threshold typed, every one cited.

    Technical Requirements pulls each spec requirement with its Division, section, and material intact — the measurable ones captured as numbers with the right comparison, never guessed.

    BuildAhead Technical Requirements: spec requirements for CSI section 09 91 00, each with its Division, section code, material, category, and a typed requirement.

    What we understand today — and what we don't, yet.

    Here's what's modeled structurally and citation-ready right now.

    Specifications

    CSI / NBS / Uniclass-aware. Part 1/2/3 hierarchy preserved. ASTM and code references kept verbatim.

    Drawings

    Sheet metadata parsed. Schedules extracted as structured rows that feed the register. Reconciled against specs automatically.

    Contracts

    AIA and FIDIC detected. Precedence-aware downstream.

    Addenda

    Linkage and supersession tracked across the spec set. Change impact surfaced automatically.

    Submittal Packages

    Segmented into Product Data, Shop Drawings, Certificates, Test Reports, Warranties, O&M Manuals, and LEED Docs.

    The submittal lifecycle is live. Here's what's in active build, and where the platform is headed.

    Coming this year

    Per-project command center — register readiness, procurement, and risk in one view

    Cross-project portfolio visibility for program health and subcontractor performance

    Change-management workflows on the same citation-backed engine

    Billing reconciliation across SOVs, approved changes, and prior periods

    Where we're headed

    Multi-agent workflows that span the full project lifecycle

    Integrations with Procore, Autodesk Build, CMiC, Sage

    Predictive risk and schedule forecasting

    Every decision is yours. Every decision is traceable.

    • Citations carried from parse to verdict
    • Append-only audit trail, immutable by design
    • PM override on every decision, always recorded
