WHY IT BREAKS
The problem isn't reviewing — it's verifying everything.
Submittals need to be checked against:
- Specification requirements
- Drawing details
- Industry standards
- Regional codes
All across multiple documents.
⚠️ What happens in reality:
- Some checks get skipped
- Some details get overlooked
- Some assumptions get made
And those gaps don't show up immediately.

Answer: It is the automated process of checking a subcontractor's submitted documents against project specs, drawings, and standards. Upload the submittal, click review, and get a detailed compliance report. No manual cross-referencing required.
Answer: A compliance review confirms if a submitted product data or shop drawings meet every requirement in the contract documents before any work starts. If they do not, the submittal goes back. Getting this right early saves a lot of pain later.
Answer: The system reviews the full package, including shop drawings, product data, manufacturer information, and installation documents, across all major construction disciplines.
Answer: In a manual review, the project engineer opens the spec binder, reads through requirements, checks drawings, verifies standards, and writes comments. That takes two to four hours per submittal. iFieldSmart AI can do it in minutes and produce the structured output.
Answer: Open the submittal log, attach the subcontractor's document, and click AI Review. The system reads all reference documents, checks every requirement, and returns a compliance report.
Answer: The AI compliance review skill helps with project specifications, contract drawings, industry standards like ASTM and SMACNA, and regional building codes, all four at the same time, not one after another.
Answer: The project requirements highlight what is compliant, partially compliant, and needs attention. It also includes a standards summary, overall compliance percentage, and key gaps.
Answer: Compliant means the requirement is fully met. Partial Compliance means something is missing, like a pressure rating sheet. Not in Compliance means the submittal needs to be corrected before it can move forward.
Answer: The review process is designed to take minutes rather than hours. Actual review time depends on the volume of documents and the number of requirements being evaluated.
Answer: The system identifies and evaluates all standards referenced in the contract documents, like ASTM, SMACNA, or other industry requirements, helping reviewers verify that submitted materials and documentation align with the required industry standards.
Answer: The AI marks it as Partial Compliance and tells you exactly what is missing. If the pressure rating sheet is absent or dimensional tolerances are not confirmed, the report says so. The subcontractor knows precisely what to fix.
Answer: Yes. Regional codes get checked alongside specs, drawings, and standards. Any gaps show up as their own category in the report, so nothing gets buried.
Answer: The system identifies all applicable sections automatically and checks each one. A mechanical package spanning Divisions 22, 23, and 26 receives a consolidated report in which every section is clearly referenced.
Answer: It is designed for general contractors, specifically project engineers, project managers, and QA/QC teams. They manage the submittal process and carry the most risk when something gets missed.
Answer: During pre-construction and early construction, before materials are ordered. Finding a compliance gap on paper is free. Finding it after installation is expensive.
Answer: Project engineers save hours on every submittal. Project managers see fewer revision cycles and faster movement. QA/QC teams get consistent review quality across all submittals.
Answer: Yes. It pulls submittals directly from your Procore log. No separate upload, no duplicate data entry. Your existing workflow stays exactly as it is.
Answer: No. The AI fits into the process you already follow. You keep your submittal log and your review steps. It just handles the cross-referencing work for you.
Answer: Non-compliant materials get installed. Rework follows. The schedule slips. Change orders pile up. And if a code requirement is missed, teams have a liability problem. Most of it traces back to something that looked fine on paper but was never properly checked.
Answer: A compliance gap caught during submittal review can be fixed in pre-construction, preventing rework costs. The subcontractor updates the document and resubmits. The same gap found after installation means demolition, replacement, and delay.
Answer: No. The AI does the checking and produces the report. The qualified reviewer, a project engineer or project manager, makes the final call. That accountability stays with the person, not the system.
Answer: Review quality often varies from one reviewer to another. The system helps to create a consistent process by checking every submittal against the same requirements, standards, and project documents.
