What it does
The Compare to Spec feature checks how well your submittal's products comply with the project specification. It produces a detailed compliance report showing which requirements are met, which have warnings, and which are failing.
How to use it
- Go to the Submittal Review page and select a submittal.
- Click the Compare to Spec button in the header.
- Choose your specification source:
- Upload New Spec — drag and drop or browse for a PDF specification document. Give it a name for reference.
- Use Existing Document — select from project documents already uploaded to the Documents page. Use the search bar to filter by name or type (Specification, Drawing, Installation Instruction, Certification).
- Click Run Comparison. The AI analyzes both documents and generates a compliance report.
- You are automatically navigated to the Spec Comparison Results page to review findings.
Things to know
- Only PDF files are supported for specification uploads.
- The comparison is powered by AI and may take 30-60 seconds depending on document length.
- Uploaded specs are saved to your project's Documents library for future use.
