Step 1
Reads the spec book
Send the project manual. SubPro reads every section front to back, for this job only, and keeps the page number attached to everything it finds.
Most submittal tools build you a list. We build the submittals.
SubPro reads the spec book, finds every submittal your trade owes, and drafts each submittal package with the product data and cover sheet the architect expects. You check it. You send it.
Prefer to start with output? Build my log turns one spec book into a drafted submittal log, no call required.
Every row cites its page
The spec page number sits beside each requirement, so review starts at the source instead of at a spreadsheet.
A person reviews before delivery
Flagged rows get a construction PM's read. Nothing moves forward unread.
Your files leave with the deliverables
The spec book is deleted after delivery. It is never kept on file or used for training.
Hundreds of pages in. A submittal schedule that does not wait.
Most of the time between award and first submittal goes to reading, transcribing, and chasing manufacturer documents. None of that needs a project manager. The decisions do: which product, which or equal, which rows the architect will push back on.
SubPro takes the reading and the assembly. Your team keeps the calls. Every row arrives with the spec page that created it, so checking the work takes minutes, not the week it took to build it.
Reads. Finds. Drafts. Flags.

Step 2
Finds every submittal your trade owes
Each required submittal becomes a row in the log: section, type, description, and the page that asked for it. Divisions group themselves.
Step 3
Drafts the submittal package
Product data from the manufacturer library stacks behind a completed cover sheet and transmittal. One submittal package per row, ready for your review.
Step 4
Flags the rows that need a call
An or equal, an owner selection, a vague note: anything that needs judgment is flagged with the page behind it. Your PM decides. SubPro does not.

The manual week
- Transcribe the spec book by handA coordinator, a spreadsheet, and several evenings. One missed row surfaces months later, usually from the architect.
- Track down every cut sheetManufacturer sites, shared drives, merged PDFs, corrected page order. Repeated for every item on the log.
- Rebuild the record at closeoutO&Ms and warranties become a second project, assembled under deadline at the end of the job.
With SubPro
- A cited draft to reviewThe log lands with a spec page on every row, so your team starts at review instead of at transcription.
- Submittal packages arrive assembledMatched product data behind a cover sheet. Gaps are flagged, never papered over.
- Closeout builds as the job runsStatuses, revisions, and transmittals accumulate row by row and are ready at turnover.
What SubPro does not do
The limits, stated plainly, so the fit call can be short.
It does not replace your PM's review
SubPro drafts and organizes. Your team confirms each requirement, decides substitutions, and owns the final log. Flagged rows are there to be read by a person, and they are.
It does not promise a perfect extraction
Spec books contain contradictions, and some requirements are buried in a note. That is why every row carries its page citation: a reviewer can confirm any row against the source in seconds instead of taking it on faith.
It does not keep your documents
Your spec book arrives, the deliverables leave, and the working copies are wiped. Nothing you send trains a model. The full policy is on the data handling page.
It does not change what the GC receives
The output is the same product data, cover sheet, and transmittal you send today, as PDF and Excel files you can drop into any project platform. Nothing about your GC's process has to change.
It does not publish a price list
Price depends on how many projects you run and how many submittals each one carries, so SubPro quotes per shop after seeing a project manual. The pricing page explains what drives the quote and what every build includes.
Who it is built for
A fit
- Trade contractors with spec-heavy scopes: doors and hardware, finishes, HVAC, electrical, and the sitework divisions.
- Teams whose PM should be reviewing submittals, not transcribing the project manual.
- Shops running several projects a year that want the register and the submittal packages started the week of award.
Not a fit
- Scopes with a handful of submittals that a coordinator can list in an afternoon.
- Teams looking for a tracking dashboard rather than the drafted work itself.
- Anyone who needs the spec book kept on file after delivery. SubPro deletes it.
Send us one spec book.
One fit call and one of your real spec books. You will see the drafted log and a finished submittal package before you decide anything.
