§ 01 THE PROBLEM · WHERE SUBMITTALS GET MISSED

Nobody reads 48 divisions cover to cover.

Requirements buried across divisions

Shop drawings, test reports, product data, and closeout certs sit scattered across 30+ CSI divisions, often in paragraphs labeled differently in each section. A PE combing through manually will spend 20+ hours and still miss items in obscure divisions.

Missed submittals = schedule hits

An uncaught submittal turns up weeks later as an RFI, a procurement delay, or a failed inspection. Industry data puts 23% of construction delays on late or missing submittals, with 2–4 week schedule impact when the item hits the critical path.

No clear pre-con vs. closeout split

Not every submittal is urgent on day one — but without timing classification, the register becomes an undifferentiated list. Your PE ends up chasing closeout test reports before the pre-con shop drawings that are actually on the critical path.

Manual spec-to-tracker handoff

Even after a register is built, porting it into a tracker eats another afternoon of copy-paste. Every delay in getting to "tracked" is another submittal that slips past before anyone notices.

§ 02 WHAT YOU GET · SIX OUTPUTS, EVERY EXTRACT

Six outputs. Every extract.

CSI Scan

Every division, every page

Reads every CSI division and identifies every submittal paragraph — shop drawings, product data, samples, test reports, certificates, warranties.

Type Classification

Organized by submittal type

Every item tagged by type so your PE can filter the register to shop drawings, mix designs, or closeout test reports in one click.

Priority

Timing & priority

Pre-construction, pre-installation, during construction, and closeout timing classified for every item. Chase the critical-path submittals first.

Structured Register

Sortable, exportable output

CSI section, description, submittal type, timing, and transmittal routing — in a sortable table ready for CSV or PDF export.

Tracker Import

One-click to Procurement Tracker

Push the extracted register directly into the Procurement Tracker for Gantt-style timeline visibility, delivery status, and owner reporting.

Addendum Diff

Spec-addendum awareness

Re-run the extract after an addendum drops and Trueleveler surfaces the new, modified, and removed submittal requirements against your existing register.

§ 03 HOW IT WORKS · SPECS TO REGISTER IN UNDER A MINUTE

Specs to register in under a minute.

01

Upload specifications

The full spec book or individual divisions. PDF, Word, or text. Any format, any project size, any structure.

02

AI scans every division

Trueleveler reads every page, identifies every submittal paragraph, classifies by type and timing, and flags items routinely missed by manual review.

03

Filter, sort, export

Interactive register filterable by division, type, or priority. Export to CSV or PDF, or one-click push to the Procurement Tracker.

04

Track to completion

In the Procurement Tracker, every submittal gets delivery status, transmittal dates, and critical-path visibility from pre-con through closeout.

§ 04 THE IMPACT · WHAT AUTOMATED EXTRACTION SAVES

Days back. Delays avoided.

20+ hours saved

Typical PE time to build a submittal register manually, compressed into a single 60-second extract. Multiply that across every project in the pipeline.

23% delays avoidable

Share of construction delays that trace back to late or missing submittals. A complete, up-front register is the single cleanest way to eliminate that risk on day one.

Critical-path clarity

Pre-con vs. closeout timing classified for every item. Your team chases the submittals that actually hold the schedule, not the ones that can wait until month nine.

§ 06 FAQ · QUESTIONS PROJECT ENGINEERS ASK

Questions PEs ask us.

The AI reads every page of every CSI division you upload, identifies submittal requirements by keyword, section reference, and context, and classifies each as shop drawing, product data, sample, test report, certificate, or warranty. Nothing is missed because nothing is skipped.
PDF, Word, and plain text. You can upload the entire spec book as one document or individual divisions. No template is required — Trueleveler reads whatever formatting your spec writer used.
Yes. Export to CSV or PDF for external tools, or one-click import into the Trueleveler Procurement Tracker for delivery tracking, status updates, and Gantt-style timeline visibility across the project.
Yes. Every extracted item is classified by timing — pre-construction, pre-installation, during construction, or closeout — so your PE knows what to chase first and what can wait until closer to final completion.
