Challenge
For project engineers, assembling submittal registers has long been a labor-intensive and manual process. This requires meticulously scanning construction documents to extract every required submittal, compiling them into a structured register, and ensuring nothing is overlooked.
The challenge doesn’t end there. After completing this exhaustive process at the start of a project, teams would have to repeat it all over again at the end—this time for closeout requirements. The redundancy not only drained resources but also increased the risk of errors and inefficiencies.
One project executive put it simply:
We were duplicating our efforts instead of using a single, streamlined process.
Recognizing the need for a better approach, the team sought a more efficient solution.
Solution
A group of project engineers participated in an Anyset Specs demo to explore how the platform could enhance their workflow. They saw firsthand how Anyset Specs intelligently scans specifications, extracts key submittal requirements, and generates an accurate submittal log in minutes. The ability to categorize submittals by type in the dashboard and make real-time adjustments in the register immediately stood out.
It didn’t take long for project teams to recognize the impact. They approached their leadership, emphasizing how Anyset Specs could significantly reduce manual effort while improving accuracy. After evaluating the cost of automation versus the hours spent manually compiling logs, it became clear: Anyset Specs was a game-changer.
By implementing Anyset Specs, the company:
- Created highly detailed submittal logs in a fraction of the time
- Ensured subcontractors were informed of all required submittals upfront
- Leveraged AI-powered accuracy to improve efficiency across project phases
Additionally, integrating Anyset Closeout at project completion allowed teams to seamlessly track closeout requirements—eliminating the need to repeat the entire process and ensuring nothing fell through the cracks.
The first time we ran a project through, it was immediately clear how much time and effort this would save. The system is intuitive and incredibly effective.
