AI-Powered Submittal Assistant

Every project has numerous submittals. The Project Manual and consultant drawings are the main documents for comparison. All items must comply with project specifications, but it's time-consuming to review hundreds or thousands of submittals against the project manual every time. You have tight deadlines of 5-7 days to review and return the shop drawings to the GCs!

That's why we created our AI-powered submittal assistant. We'll help you review your submittals even quicker and surface the information you need for your review! 💫

This article will tell you how to enable the assistant and how it works!

Turn on the Submittal Assistant

The submittal assistant can be turned on once you have your Project Manual uploaded to the project.

We need the Project Specification Manual so we can compare the attached shop drawing/submittal to the specifications to give you your review hints!

Read this article on how to upload your Project Manual.

If you did not enable the Submittal Assistant when you uploaded your specifications, no worries!

Step 1: Go to your Settings, and under the General tab you will see the 'Enable Submittal Assistant' area. Click the toggle so it turns blue, and you're ready to go!

How it works

In simple terms, when you upload a submittal, Part3 will compare the contents of the submittal against the Project Manual specifications.

✨To start getting your Submittal hints, you need to upload a document.

Step 1: Find the division in the logs you have a submittal for, or create one using the + sign in the top right corner.

or

Step 2: Upload the attachment(s) you want to review.

Step 3: Once the attachment has been uploaded, you will see this screen to let you know we're reviewing the submittal against the project manual.

Step 4: In a minute or two, the hints will appear! Right now we surface hints for Manufacturer, Testing Standards, Colors, and Warranty.

You'll know if the attachment has been reviewed if you see the blue 'AI-Reviewed Beta' tag on the right.

These helpful hints will give you a head start on your submittal reviews! No need to go through the project manual to see if the manufacturer is listed, or wonder if it meets those NFPA standards, or wonder what color it should be!

👀 Remember, these hints are hints. We're not here to replace you, we just want to make your reviews faster, and maybe even enjoyable. Always remember to double-check your Project Manual and do your due diligence.
