Automate submittal review with AI that cross-references every package against your drawings and specs—and generate the project's starting submittal log from the full project manual. Nomic handles first-pass review and log setup so your team focuses on decisions, not document triage.
Review cycles that stretched for days now complete in hours. Keep subcontractors moving and schedules on track.
Process more submittals without adding headcount. Nomic handles the first-pass review so designers focus on decisions.
Potential issues are flagged before they reach construction. Every decision is traceable to your drawings and specs—and the project starts with a real submittal log, not a blank spreadsheet.
Submittals pile up faster than designers and engineers can review them. Before review even starts, teams burn days building a submittal log from the project manual by hand. Manual submittal review means comparing product data sheets against specs and drawings by hand, checking for deviations, and documenting every approval decision. Submittal automation is the obvious answer—but most teams don't have software that actually reads the content. Designers become the bottleneck. Review cycles stretch from days to weeks. Subcontractors wait. Schedules slip. And when something gets approved that shouldn't have, the finger-pointing begins.
Nomic automates submittal review by reading each package the way your best project engineer would—cross-referencing it against your drawings and specifications, flagging deviations and concerns, and routing a cited first-pass review to your team. Before packages arrive, the Submittal Log Generator reads the full project manual—enriched by drawings and addenda—and extracts every submittal requirement into an Excel-ready log with trade assignment and long-lead flags. Review cycles that took days now take hours. Shop drawings, product data, samples, and certificates all flow through the same automated review process.
Link your project drawings and specifications from Autodesk Forma, Bentley ProjectWise, or upload directly. Nomic builds a searchable knowledge base of your requirements, so every submittal is automatically cross-referenced against your actual project documents—not generic assumptions.
Nomic automatically cross-references each submittal against your drawings and specifications, identifying which sections apply and flagging potential concerns. No more hunting through drawing sets and spec books. Nomic surfaces conflicts, deviations, and items that need your attention.
Get a clear summary of what Nomic found: items that match spec, items that deviate, and potential concerns flagged for your review. Before intake, generate the actual starting submittal log from the project manual—each requirement classified, assigned to a responsible trade, and flagged for long lead times—ready for Excel and your existing tracker.
Dive into the most common submittal review workflows: shop drawing review, completeness checks, submittal log generation, log tracking, and brand-standards conformance.
Answers to common questions about this workflow.
AI submittal review software reads each submittal package, cross-references it against project specifications and contract drawings, and surfaces deviations, missing items, and potential concerns for the design team to verify. Nomic returns a cited first-pass review so designers and engineers spend less time hunting through specs and drawings.
Yes. Nomic indexes the project specifications and contract drawings, then automatically cross-references each submittal against the applicable spec sections and sheets. Findings include the spec or drawing location that triggered the result so reviewers can validate quickly.
Yes. Nomic can check submittals against firm and project submittal requirement checklists to flag missing product data, attachments, certifications, or deliverables before the package reaches a designer for content review.
Nomic tracks comments across submittal revisions. When a resubmittal is uploaded, Nomic checks the new package and the response log against prior comments, flags items that appear addressed, and surfaces items that still need attention so reviewers can close out comments faster.
No. Nomic intentionally avoids automated write-backs to original submittal logs, drawings, or specs. It produces new artifacts — review tables, annotated PDFs, and structured exports — that reviewers can import into Bluebeam, Excel, or downstream submittal tracking systems on their terms.
Yes. The Submittal Log Generator reads a full project manual—enriched by drawings and addenda—and extracts every submittal requirement into an Excel-ready log. Each item is classified, assigned to a responsible trade, and flagged for long lead times, alongside a navigable section index and executive summary.
