AI Submittal Review for Structural Engineers

Structural submittals — steel fabrication drawings, concrete mix designs, post-installed anchor certifications, and connection details — require careful verification against project specifications and structural drawings. Nomic helps structural engineers process these submittals faster without sacrificing review quality.

01 / Shop drawing review

Cross-reference fabrication drawings against structural design drawings

Steel and concrete shop drawings must match the structural design drawings in member sizes, connection geometry, and detail coordination. Nomic cross-references fabricator drawings against the contract structural set and surfaces deviations that need structural engineer attention.

  • Compare fabricator shop drawings against contract structural drawings
  • Flag member size discrepancies, connection geometry deviations, and missing details
  • Check embedded items, anchor layouts, and connection plate configurations
Verify submitted materials meet project structural specifications
02 / Specification compliance

Verify submitted materials meet project structural specifications

Structural submittals must demonstrate that proposed materials, products, and systems meet the structural specification requirements. Nomic reviews submittal data against the project structural specifications so engineers can focus on performance verification rather than document comparison.

  • Cross-reference product certifications against specification performance requirements
  • Flag proposed substitutions and equivalency claims for engineer evaluation
  • Check weld procedure, material certification, and testing documentation
Track resubmittal responses to prior structural review comments
03 / Comment tracking

Track resubmittal responses to prior structural review comments

Structural resubmittals must address all prior comments before approval. Nomic reviews resubmitted packages against prior comment records to verify that each outstanding item has been addressed and flag any responses that are incomplete or unclear.

  • Compare resubmittal packages against prior structural review comments
  • Surface items that appear inadequately addressed or still open
  • Maintain a clear record of comment status across multiple submittal revisions
Outcomes

What structural engineering teams get from this workflow

Faster structural submittal review

Clear submittal backlogs faster by starting each review from an AI-generated first-pass findings list.

Better specification compliance

Catch material and detailing deviations before structural approval so the project is built to the design intent.

Cleaner comment closure

Ensure resubmittals address all prior comments before structural engineer sign-off.

Questions about ai submittal review for structural engineers

Answers to common questions about this structural engineering workflow.

Can AI review steel shop drawings for structural engineers?

Yes. Nomic can cross-reference steel fabrication shop drawings against contract structural drawings and specifications to surface dimensional discrepancies, connection deviations, and missing information.

Can Nomic check structural submittals against project specifications?

Yes. Nomic reviews submittal product data, material certifications, and technical documentation against the project structural specifications and returns cited findings showing conformance and deviations.

How does Nomic handle structural resubmittals?

When a resubmittal is uploaded, Nomic checks the new package against prior review comments and flags items that appear unresolved or inadequately addressed so structural engineers can close out comments efficiently.
