Use AI to draft a pre-submittal review checklist that catches missing info before you send documents upstream.

Before you submit shop drawings, product data, or samples to the architect or engineer, a quick review can save you from rejection delays. AI can generate a custom checklist based on your specific submittal so you catch missing specs, wrong formats, or incomplete manufacturer data before it leaves your desk. Just tell AI what you're submitting and what the contract requires—it'll give you a point-by-point list to verify everything's complete. This takes two minutes and prevents the frustrating back-and-forth that kills your schedule. Walk through the checklist, fix what's missing, then submit with confidence.
