Submittal automation for construction teams
Most submittal tools build you a list. We build the submittals.
SubPro reads the spec book, drafts the log, and assembles the packages, so the week your team loses to transcription becomes a couple of hours of review. Every row cites the spec page it came from. You check the work instead of taking it on faith.
Ask the built-in chat which rows still need review or where a warranty requirement is buried, and get an answer with the page behind it. Your team makes every call, and we stay with you from the first spec set to a clean handoff.
Actual timing depends on spec quality, project scope, available package matches, and your team's review process.

Synthetic sample. Real output depends on the source documents, available package matches, and your team's review. Flagged rows point your team to items that need a decision before handoff.
How it works
From spec book to handoff.
- Turn one spec book into a reviewable submittal log with source references.
- Assemble the package evidence and mark the rows that need a decision.
- Chat with the spec book to find buried requirements, then export clean to Excel or your internal handoff.

Sample output
The output stays inspectable, source-linked, and ready for review.
Download example Excel logVague spec language, missing deliverables, and rows that need a PM or PE call stay flagged.
Every row keeps source page context so the package is easier to verify before handoff.
Product data, SDS, and shop drawing matches stay visible with anything uncertain marked for review.
The output stays editable so the team can clean it before Excel or its internal process.
Product proof
See the work before you trust it.
Sample-project screens show SubPro organizing draft rows, surfacing package matches, and preparing PDF package output your team can inspect before anything leaves the shop.
Draft rows with package context
Requirements, likely product matches, and next actions are organized in one review view so your team can move faster without losing control.
PDF package output
Submittal packages are assembled into a clean review format, with transmittal details and supporting documentation kept together.
Why SubPro
What makes SubPro different
Most tools stop at the list. SubPro is built for the work that comes after it: the documents, the proof, and the handoff.
Most tools generate the submittal list. Your team still hunts down the documents. SubPro pairs the log with package evidence so the handoff starts closer to review.
Every line traces back to source context and keeps review flags visible, so your team can verify quickly instead of trusting blindly.
Ask the full spec book for buried requirements or ask the submittal log about rows, flags, references, and package context.
Hands off to Excel, email, or your internal workflow. SubPro is not another platform to adopt.
Document control
Built for project documents that need control.
- SubPro does not store your spec PDFs as another document repository. The workflow is process-and-release: prepare the log, assemble packages, review the evidence, and release the handoff.
- Output stays in your local project folder or approved handoff location.
- Data-handling requirements are confirmed before real project work.

Pilots open
Pilots are currently open.
We are talking with teams that want the spec-to-submittal grind off their desks. Bring the messy spec book. We will figure out together what the first pass needs to prove.
Reach out to schedule a call. We will talk through your workflow, spec volume, data-handling needs, and the right first sample.
Bring a spec-heavy workflow you want to improve. We can discuss the right sample, review process, and handoff expectations before project files are used.
Book a call or email pilots@sub-pro-ai.com. We will sort out whether your spec set is the right place to start.
Get started
Start with one ugly spec book.
Pilots are open. One call, one spec book, and we will both know whether this is a fit.
Build a cleaner log and assembled packages before the project team imports or manages them downstream.
Turn PDF spec review into package-ready submittals with clear review flags.
Cut document hunting, keep source and context notes, and review flagged rows before handoff.
Export an editable XLSX register and package set when the team needs it.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Answers before you hand us a real spec. Short version: we build the log, assemble the packages, and hand off clean. Details below.
How is this different from other submittal tools?
They generate lists, route documents, or manage workflow. SubPro focuses on the handoff your team needs before downstream tools: a reviewable log, package evidence, clear flags, and a clean export.
What do I see before a pilot?
A call, then a sample build on one of your real specs. You get the drafted log, the assembled packages, the flagged rows, and a short review call to walk through it. Pilot specs have run from 200 pages to over 1,500.
What about my data?
We confirm data-handling requirements before real project files are used. Synthetic or anonymized material can be used first, and the workflow remains process-and-release rather than another document repository.
Is my spec book and project data safe with SubPro?
All user data, including spec books, is used only to build your SubPro output, then released and deleted after processing. SubPro does not retain user data, and user data is never used for AI training or any other use. Data is sent over encrypted HTTPS/TLS connections, and a mutual NDA is available before you send project files.
