AI Submittal Review for General Contractors

Submittal review is one of the most time-intensive parts of construction project management. Nomic processes submittal packages and cross-references them against project specifications and drawings so GC project managers and designers can focus on exceptions and approvals.

01 / First-pass review

Check submittals against specs before routing to the design team

Submittals that arrive incomplete or obviously non-conforming waste design team review time and slow down the approval process. Nomic checks each submittal against the project specifications before routing so only substantive issues reach designers and architects.

  • Cross-reference submittal product data against applicable spec sections
  • Flag deviations, substitutions, and missing required information
  • Check submittal completeness before design team review
Compare submitted products against both specifications and contract drawings
02 / Spec and drawing alignment

Compare submitted products against both specifications and contract drawings

Submittals must comply with both the specifications and the contract drawings. Nomic cross-references each submittal against both document types simultaneously so reviewers get a complete picture of conformance before approval decisions are made.

  • Compare product data against project specifications and drawings together
  • Surface dimensional, performance, and product-type deviations
  • Identify when a submitted product may require a drawing revision
Track submittal status and comment closure across the project
03 / Log management

Track submittal status and comment closure across the project

Construction submittal logs grow to hundreds of items on large projects. Nomic helps teams track resubmittals, verify comment responses, and surface items that remain open so project managers can keep submittal workflows moving.

  • Track resubmittal responses against prior review comments
  • Surface items where comments appear unresolved or inadequately addressed
  • Maintain a clear record of what was checked and what was approved
Outcomes

What construction teams get from this workflow

Faster submittal cycles

Reduce design team review time by routing only submittals with substantive issues that require professional judgment.

Better spec compliance

Catch substitutions and non-conformances before approval so the project is built to specification.

Cleaner submittal logs

Keep submittal status current and comment closure tracked across the full project log.

Questions about ai submittal review for general contractors

Answers to common questions about this construction workflow.

How does AI submittal review help general contractors?

General contractors use Nomic to run a first-pass review of each submittal package against project specifications and drawings before routing to designers. This reduces design team review time and catches non-conformances early.

Can Nomic check submittal completeness?

Yes. Nomic can check submittal packages against project-specific submittal requirements and flag missing attachments, product data, certifications, or other required deliverables.

Does Nomic work with the project's existing submittal log?

Nomic produces structured review outputs — review tables, annotated PDFs, and exports — that project managers can import into their existing submittal tracking systems without Nomic writing back to original submittal log files.
