Does it meet spec? Now you will know in minutes, not hours.
MeetSpec reads your engineering schedules and manufacturer submittals, then produces a field-by-field comparison using engineering-correct tolerances. Built for MEP engineers and contractors who review submittals the hard way today.
The Problem
Manual submittal review is the most expensive thing your PE does all week.
Side-by-side comparison across 200-page PDFs.
Every submittal review is your PE manually checking voltage, phase, frequency, capacity, and airflow values against the spec. Page by page, field by field, across every manufacturer format on the project.
Mismatches caught too late become change orders.
When a submittal review misses a voltage mismatch or an undersized unit, it surfaces in the field. Change orders are expensive, schedules slip, and the mismatch everyone should have caught at the submittal stage becomes a project conflict.
Fewer people doing more review work.
The HVAC industry workforce shortage means every engineer carries more projects, more submittals, and more review cycles. Manual review does not scale with the workload.
How It Works
Four steps from drawings to field-by-field comparison report.
Upload your engineering drawings
Drop in the mechanical schedule drawings from your project. MeetSpec identifies the schedule pages automatically and reads every equipment tag, type, and specified value.
Auto-detect equipment and extract specs
The system reads VAV schedules, AHU schedules, FCU schedules, and more. Airflow, voltage, phase, frequency, heating and cooling capacity, electrical characteristics, weights.
Upload manufacturer submittals
Add the manufacturer submittal PDFs. MeetSpec handles 40+ manufacturer formats without configuration. Each unit gets matched to its spec record by equipment tag.
Get a field-by-field comparison report
Every field comparison uses engineering-correct tolerances. Airflow must meet or exceed spec. Voltage uses NEMA equivalences (230V and 240V are the same). Uncertain extractions show NEEDS REVIEW, not a false mismatch.
What you get out
A structured comparison report with every equipment unit, every spec field, and the submittal value alongside it. Status flags use engineering language: MATCH, MISMATCH, WITHIN TOLERANCE, NEEDS REVIEW, or NOT IN SUBMITTAL. Your engineer reviews the flagged items. That is it.
Why MeetSpec Is Different
Not just document routing. Field-by-field engineering comparison.
Most tools tell you whether a submittal is present. MeetSpec tells you whether the equipment in that submittal actually meets the spec, field by field, with engineering-correct tolerance logic.
What other tools do
- Document-level NLP to detect missing submittals
- Route submittal packages to approval queues
- Flag that a submittal "looks" non-compliant
- Generic compliance hints without field detail
- Approved / Rejected stamps on every package
What MeetSpec does
- Field-by-field value extraction across 40+ manufacturer formats
- Directional tolerances: airflow must meet or exceed, MCA must not exceed
- NEMA voltage equivalence built in (230V = 240V, 460V = 480V)
- Confidence-gated decisions: uncertain data shows NEEDS REVIEW, not mismatch
- PE-safe language: MATCH / NOTED / NEEDS REVIEW. Never Approved or Rejected.
Engineering-grade tolerance logic
Who It Is For
Built for the people who review submittals for a living.
Review submittals in minutes, not hours.
Catch voltage mismatches, undersized equipment, and spec deviations before they become change orders. Your PE reviews flagged items only. Every engineering judgment stays with your licensed engineer.
- Structured comparison against your own schedule
- MATCH / MISMATCH / NEEDS REVIEW for every field
- Your PE reviews exceptions, not every data point
Submit clean packages the first time.
Check your submittals against the spec before the engineer sends them back. Catch the voltage mismatch or undersized unit before it becomes a resubmittal cycle that holds up your schedule.
- Pre-check submittals before sending to the engineer
- See exactly which fields do not match and why
- Reduce resubmittal cycles and RFI volume
AI-Assisted Review. MeetSpec extracts and compares data. Every engineering judgment remains with your licensed professional engineer. MeetSpec uses MATCH, NOTED, and NEEDS REVIEW to describe data comparisons only. It does not issue Approved or Rejected stamps and does not replace PE review.
