AI to Compare Specifications
Using AI to compare construction specifications across versions or projects.
Definition
AI to compare specifications helps identify differences between specification versions or across projects. AI can highlight changes, additions, and deletions while understanding specification structure and terminology. This helps teams track specification evolution and ensure consistency.
In Depth
Comparing specifications between projects, between revisions, or between the specification and the actual submittals is a common but time-consuming task. AI automates these comparisons by parsing the specification structure and identifying the differences at the paragraph and requirement level.
The revision comparison produces a detailed markup showing what changed between the original specification and the revised version — added requirements, deleted products, modified performance criteria, and changed submittal requirements. This comparison is essential when an addendum modifies the specifications during bidding, and bidders need to understand exactly what changed.
