AI for Finding Specification Content
Using AI to find specific content in construction specifications.
Definition
AI for finding specification content enables semantic search across construction specifications. AI understands specification terminology and can find relevant content even without exact keywords. This dramatically reduces specification search time.
In Depth
Finding a specific requirement in a construction specification requires knowing which CSI section to look in and then scanning through dense paragraphs of requirements to find the relevant provision. For a project with a 1,000-page specification, this manual search process is the daily reality of construction administration.
AI specification search works semantically. Ask "what is the required concrete strength for the second floor slab?" and AI searches across all specification sections to find the answer — whether it is in Section 03 30 00 (Cast-in-Place Concrete), in the structural notes on the drawings, or in both. The search resolves the common situation where the specification and the drawings contain complementary information about the same requirement.
