It Reads Your Plans So You Don't Have To
SpecAlign uses artificial intelligence to read your construction documents the way a project manager would. Upload your plans, and specs are extracted, organized, and ready to review in minutes.
Upload a Plan Set, Get Organized Specs
Drop 30 PDFs from your architect, designer, and engineer. AI identifies each document type, extracts every specification, and files them by room and trade. What used to take your PM a full day now takes 10 minutes.
It Learns Your Preferences
Correct an extraction once, the system remembers. After 3 corrections, it becomes a permanent rule. SpecAlign gets smarter with every project, building a playbook unique to your company.
Know Exactly What Changed
When an architect issues revised drawings, AI compares old vs. new and flags every change. No more manually flipping between versions hoping you catch the difference.
AI Runs the Admin. You Run the Build.
Finding files. Updating specs. Texting subs. Emailing clients. Tracking receipts. Verifying versions. Custom home builders spend 30-40% of their week on coordination that never touches a hammer. SpecAlign handles it automatically.
