Problem: Manual Submittals Are Broken
Ask any Project Engineer or PM — the traditional submittal process is frustrating:
Hours to days spent reviewing specs and drawings
30–40% rejection rates from design teams
Work stalls until re-submittals are approved
Strained relationships between subcontractors, GCs, and architects
Demoralizing work for junior engineers stuck in trailers with stacks of paperwork
Every rejected submittal is a delay, a cost, and a risk to the project.

The Solution: BuildSync Submittal Automation
BuildSync reviews submittals in the background while your team focuses on higher-value work.
Here’s how it works:
Product-Level Breakdown – From Div 8 lighting fixtures with dozens of products to a single piece of Div 23 equipment.
Technical Characteristic Mapping – Every product’s specs are extracted and organized.
Automated Compliance Check – BuildSync compares each characteristic against project specs with a traffic-light warning system.
Result: rejection rates fall below 5% across all projects.

The Cost of Getting Submittals Wrong
When submittals are rejected:
Delays halt work until approvals come through
Costs balloon with rejections, reorders, and wasted labor (avg. $805 each rejection)
Reputation suffers — too many rejections make subs and GCs look careless
Relationships strain between contractors, design teams, and owners
BuildSync prevents these failures before they ever hit your project schedule.
