AI Submittal Review Software for Architects and Engineers

Nomic acts as the first-pass reviewer on every submittal, reading packages like a project engineer, cross-referencing them against your drawings and specifications, and routing only what designers actually need to decide on.

01 / First-pass review

Stop being the submittal bottleneck

Submittals pile up faster than designers and engineers can review them. Nomic clears the first pass automatically, checking each package against the spec and contract drawings, so your team spends time on judgment calls, not hunting through documents.

  • Read each submittal as it lands instead of batching review at end-of-week
  • Surface deviations, missing items, and ambiguous responses for reviewer attention
  • Keep designers focused on approval decisions, not document triage
02 / Spec + drawing cross-reference

Compare every submittal against the actual spec and drawings

Manual submittal review means flipping between a product data sheet, a 1,000-page spec book, and a multi-discipline drawing set. Nomic indexes all of it and automatically maps each submittal to the spec sections and sheets that apply.

  • Auto-identify the spec sections that govern each submittal item
  • Pull contract drawings, schedules, and details into the same review
  • Cite the exact spec paragraph and drawing location for every finding
03 / Review outputs

Deliver review-ready summaries, not raw AI output

Nomic packages every review as a structured first-pass summary: items that match spec, items that deviate, and items flagged for reviewer attention. Designers can stamp, comment, and forward without rebuilding their workflow.

  • Review tables exportable to Excel or JSON for tracking systems
  • Annotated PDFs that drop into Bluebeam markup workflows
  • Audit trail tying each finding back to spec, drawing, and reviewer decision
Outcomes

What teams get from this workflow

Days to hours

Move review cycles from days to hours so subcontractors keep moving and the schedule does not slip waiting on a stamp.

Less designer fatigue

Give designers a triaged review queue instead of a stack of unread submittals competing with billable design work.

Defensible reviews

Every finding is traceable to the spec section and drawing detail that justified it: clear documentation if a decision is questioned later.

FAQ
Questions about this automated submittal review workflow

Answers to common questions about this workflow.

Who is AI submittal review software built for?

It is built for the architects, engineers, and project teams who currently sit in the submittal-review chair: stamping shop drawings, reviewing product data, and tracking deviations from spec across hundreds of packages per project.

Does AI replace the designer or engineer of record?

No. Nomic is a first-pass reviewer that surfaces concerns and cross-references the submittal against the spec and drawings. The licensed designer or engineer still reviews and stamps every package. Nomic just removes the time-consuming hunting and triage.

Can Nomic handle large, multi-section submittal packages?

Yes. Nomic processes long submittal packages in parallel and keeps every finding tied to the exact page in the package, the relevant spec section, and the drawing detail that triggered it.
