BuildSync is AI-powered submittal review software for construction. It checks submittals against your specifications automatically, cutting rejection rates from 35% to 5% while saving hundreds of hours on manual reviews.
The Problem We Solve
Construction teams face a critical challenge: 30-40% of submittals get rejected by design teams, with each rejection adding 2+ weeks to project timelines. Project engineers and managers spend days or weeks manually reviewing complex technical documents - often without the specialized expertise needed. This creates a perfect storm of schedule delays, wasted time, and frustrated teams.
How BuildSync Works
BuildSync uses artificial intelligence to perform deep technical analysis of construction submittals:
- Product-Level Breakdown: The system identifies every piece of equipment or product within a submittal (from single complex pieces like AHUs to hundreds of lighting fixtures)
- Technical Characteristic Extraction: For each product, BuildSync extracts technical data points - dimensions, ratings, materials, certifications, warranties, and more
- Specification Comparison: Every characteristic is checked against project specifications and drawings, with results categorized as Pass, Fail, or Unknown (requiring clarification)
- Detailed Documentation: BuildSync provides marked-up submittals highlighting failures, Excel compliance reports with granular detail, and direct links to source documents for verification
Key Results
- Reduce submittal rejection rate from industry average of 35% down to 5%
- Save 70-80% of your time otherwise spent on reviewing submittals manually
- Process submittals in hours instead of days or weeks
- Catch non-compliant items before they reach design teams
- Free up PMs and PEs for higher-value project management activities
Integrations
BuildSync integrates seamlessly with your existing construction management platforms including Procore and Trimble. The setup is simple: connect BuildSync to your project, and it automatically pulls plans, specs, and submittals, then returns detailed reviews directly within your workflow. No process changes required - your team keeps working exactly as they do now.
Who Uses BuildSync
BuildSync serves general contractors and MEP/specialty subcontractors. Primary users include:
- VPs/Directors of Operations and Construction
- Project Executives and Senior Project Managers
- Project Managers handling multiple projects
- Project Engineers new to technical reviews
- BIM/VDC Managers coordinating submittals
Why BuildSync is Different
Unlike workflow management tools that simply route submittals through approval processes, BuildSync performs genuine technical analysis - extracting multiple data points per piece of equipment and checking each against your specs. With a 70% pilot-to-customer conversion rate, teams see the value immediately when they test it on their actual projects.
