Specs by Constructable

Construction specification management software for general contractors

Upload the spec book once. AI splits it into divisions and sections, you confirm them, and your team opens any section in a few clicks. Specs are on every plan with unlimited users, so every sub on the job can read the same book. View our flat pricing.

Import and review

AI automatically imports and organizes your spec sections

Our construction specification management software reads the spec book page by page and finds where each section starts, with its division, section number, and title.

• The project manual arrives: import the PDF and AI lays out the divisions and sections for you

• A section starts on the wrong page: change its start page, number, or title in edit mode

• Ready to issue: publish the book, and only then does the team see it

Addenda

Addenda replace the right sections

Publish an addendum and each reissued section takes the place of the older one with the same division and section number. Everything else stays as it was.

• An addendum reissues two sections: those two sections update and get a revision badge, and the rest of the book stays put

• Someone opens the roofing spec: they get the current version, not the one from the bid set

• A book should come out of the set: unpublish it, and its sections leave the published view while the source stays available

Specs to submittals

Start the submittal log from the specs

Select the spec sections that need submittals, fill in the details once, and get a draft submittal for each section, titled after it and tied to its section number.

• Setting up the log: choose the responsible contractor, submittal manager, subscribers, and approval workflow for the whole batch

• Numbering: show the spec section in front of each submittal number

• Reporting: filter the submittal log by spec section

AI that reads the specs

Automatically check submittals and drawings against specs

The Agent reads your published specs alongside the submittal or the drawings and reports what doesn't match. It only reports, so you decide what to do with each finding.

• A shop drawing comes in: run PreCheck on the submittal to see where it departs from the governing spec section and drawings, before it goes to the architect

• Before the work starts: run Find discrepancies to list material conflicts between the drawings and the specs

• Checking a finding: each one cites its source, so you can open the section or sheet and confirm it

Bidding and closeout

Specs where bidders and owners need them

The published specs travel with the bid package during preconstruction and with the closeout package at turnover.

• Bidding: invited bidders select View Specs in Bidding Resources, or download one ZIP of the drawings, specs, documents, and photos

• Turnover: include the specs in the closeout package along with RFIs, submittals, and drawings

• Outside reviewers: share a download link to the sections they need instead of attaching files to an email

Christian Allen, Estimator/Project Manager at Trinity Builds: Trinity Builds recently made the switch from an industry leading Project Management platform to Constructable.ai. This has been absolutely amazing. For many years, they had been the industry standard, but has neglected to keep up with cutting edge technology, as well as neglecting customer service. Constructable.ai has so many incredible usable features, including an internal AI agent that can search drawings and specs and give real time answers. One of my favorite features is the AI agent Import Bid feature, which will take an emailed bid from a sub contractor and detail the full scope of work, inclusions and exclusions, and pricing clarifications.

David Gibbs, Associate Manager of Architecture at RRM Design Group: The Constructable team truly listens to all the variety of users as they strive to develop this software to be better every day. As an architect using Constructable I can attest to the strength of the product today, and because of their collaboration vision I know it will only continue to make huge strides tomorrow.

Tom Colleran: we're reaching a cruise control with Constructable where we're making the agent a part of our process. If you haven't checked it out, Constructable is agent based.

Mark Gillett: Thank you, Molly! This program is making these projects so much easier and streamlined!

Email to Molly about Constructable submittal status: I’m not sure who requested this updated feature, but this is GREAT! Really. I love the stamp. Very helpful for the superintendent or the on-site team to know the status of the submittals while they are not always implicated in the back and forth before the review. Thank you for that.

By the way, the “Add Invoice” button that was added for sub and owner invoices on the invoice screen has been very convenient! Thanks for adding that!

Email to Emma and John: We were just going through and reviewing a few things on Constructable and noticed the Lists change and new matching Global Report! It’s awesome to see this implemented so quickly. We really appreciate the commitment to updates and improvements, and this should help streamline things for us quite a bit.

That’s actually awesome, thank you for the update. That should make it smoother for everyone.

Subcontractor email regarding the new Constructable program: just wanted to say how much I like the new system, it’s quick and easy to use and so far, easy to follow.

Hey Molly, that’s fantastic news. Tomorrow I’ll mess around with it. Lots of possibilities! Thanks for being so responsive to our requests and suggestions. We are happy customers.

Wow, the new Project Home Dashboard is awesome!!! Great job

Constructable adds a Billable On field in Change Orders so change orders can move to the invoice when needed. Replies: This is awesome, thank you! and Yes, very helpful!!!

Many thanks for the smooth transition and emailing all sub-contractors / vendors.

Jennifer Sears, Operations Administrator: If you know me well, you will be surprised that I'm recommending a program that has a lot of AI features. And I'm loving this program! After suffering through a couple of older project management platforms, Constructable.ai is in a league of its own! In an industry where communication, coordination, and access to accurate information can make or break a project, having a platform that helps keep everything organized and accessible is a huge advantage. Constructable.ai does a great job of bringing project information together in one place, making it easier for teams to stay aligned, find what they need, and make informed decisions without wasting time digging through emails, folders, and disconnected systems. For contractors looking for ways to improve efficiency, communication, and overall project organization, Constructable.ai is definitely worth checking out. If you would like an introduction to the absolutely rock star Constructable.ai Team, let me know. I'll hook you up! I promise, you will be impressed.

Luigi La Corte, Co-Founder and CEO of Provisio: Molly Abbott, Emma Nazim and the Constructable team have one of the most thoughtful solutions I’ve seen in construction tech. I was really blown away by how much they’ve built and how happy their customers were based on our initial conversations. I’m super pumped for their latest launch and looking forward to seeing them crushing it even more than they are now. If you are a PM and you’re looking for best-in-class project management software, do contact Molly and Emma.

Email to John: That deep dive was such a valuable session specifically because of how you ran it. You came out to listen. They didn’t just take away Constructable knowledge but saw how you use Claude. To the whole Constructable team: thank you for being the kind of partner we point to when people ask what a good vendor relationship looks like. You listen, you take feedback seriously, and you keep shipping updates that make the product better for the people using it in the field and in the office.

Customer asks if Superintendents can view Timecards. Molly replies On it! Done! Customer: You’re the absolute best!!! :-)

Everyone loves Constructable! Keep kicking ass! Bidding a job in Carlsbad right now and these subs who don’t know us are really liking it. Also, one of the subs down there bidding my job is already using Constructable on a project with another contractor. Very cool!

This is Absolutely AWESOME!!! Thank you Molly!!

Hey Constructable Team — I’m using the updated subcontractor invoice attachment download options and esigning waivers and wanted to thank you for implementing these features! It’s really streamlining things!

Random encounter — I was out yesterday and heard a couple of folks discussing Constructable vs Procore. Sounds like things are going well!

Constructable rocks! I am so happy to have found you and to have made the switch.

Constructable is the real deal! Everyone loves it as far as the feedback I’m hearing.

The team absolutely loves Constructable. The AI feature, among so many others, are so helpful and easy to use, both in the field and in the office. Keep up the good work!!!

Emma — I’m using Constructable on my remodel. Love this thing. Great work!

Excellent! Thank you so much for all of your help and hard work to get this done so quickly. We greatly appreciate you all! My team has been getting in and surfing around. They are all loving it! Especially the little Easter eggs. I haven’t seen it yet, but the guys are all talking about it.

Dick Gray, President / CEO / Partner at MLGP: Can’t say enough good things about our partnership with Molly Abbott and Emma Nazim and the rest of the Constructable crew — we are a better GC because of you all!

Miguel Melo, General Superintendent at The Eminence Group: Talk about a seamless transition when my company decided to board with Constructable as our construction management platform. The training process was immaculate, the interface was very familiar and intuitive, and we had a great surprise when we requested rich-text formatting for the daily log to color code certain information and had it implemented the following day. The built-in tools are also something good. Take-off tools, budgets, schedules, and their AI search tool takes everything to the next level. Entirely happy that we made the switch.

Justin Cohen: Thanks Molly! Constructable is my favorite app to hit if I can’t make it on-site to see all the work done.

Thanks for your help, and for the quick personal assistance. We have all been amazed at the level of support we have received so far. Huge thanks to you and your team!

Molly updates access so a teammate can manage the company directory and merge companies. Customer: Thank you so much! I can’t begin to tell you how much I appreciate you and your team!!! Molly: We feel the same way about you all!

Hi!! You guys already got Constructable ready for Claude?! So exited!! Tell me more

I have something to share with you guys that I just did on here and I was using the chatbot function for our site. And it gave me the exact location that I had previously figured out using Math. Where the floor penetration would be so the math checks. It’s pretty cool.

Hello Molly, 4:47pm request, completed at 4:51pm…. sorry Molly that’s just not fast enough! All jokes aside, thank you!

Molly, just wanted to send a huge thank you for coming in and absolutely crushing the Constructable training with our team yesterday. Seriously, it felt more like a masterclass than a walkthrough. You did an awesome job breaking everything down in a way that actually clicked for everyone, and the energy and knowledge you brought made a big impact. We really appreciate you taking the time to answer questions, share tips and tricks, and help us connect the dots on how to make our workflows smoother and more efficient.

We were discussing construction management software over the weekend and he was very impressed with the capabilities of Constructable. Emma, Molly and John are the founders at Constructable. I cannot say enough good things about how helpful they have been since we joined Constructable as a user. The software speaks for itself, and their responsiveness to user feedback is unmatched.

Thank you Molly, I really like Constructable compared to Procore

Hello Molly, thanks for doing that. I logged in on my phone, and everything looks great! I am very excited to start using Constructable! Everything was quick to display, and I even added a photo album. It looked like everything was there and very simple to navigate which is extremely important. I also noticed Sunbelt Rentals and Best Block had their logos next to their names.

OMG! I can reorganize drawing disciplines. Thank you Thank you!

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get my spec book into Constructable?

Open Specs, select Import Spec Book, and upload the PDF the architect sent. You can upload more than one file at a time. The book stays in review, visible only to the people who manage specs, until you publish it. The Specs help guide walks through each step.

Does Constructable split the spec book into sections automatically?

Yes. AI reads each page and finds where every section starts, with its division number and name and its section number and title. You check the results before you publish. If a section starts on the wrong page or has the wrong name, change it in edit mode. Publishing doesn't change the source PDF.

What happens when an addendum replaces a spec section?

Import the addendum and publish it. When it has a section with the same division and section number as one already published, the newer version becomes the one your team opens, and it is marked with its revision. Sections the addendum leaves out stay as they were.

Can I create submittals from spec sections?

Yes. Select the sections, choose the responsible contractor, the submittal manager, subscribers, and the approval workflow once, and Constructable creates a draft submittal for each section, titled after it and tied to its section number. You can also set submittal numbers to show the spec section first. Submittals are included in the Field and Project Management plan and above. See our submittal features.

Can AI check a submittal against the specs?

Yes. Open the submittal and run PreCheck from the command palette. The Agent reads the submittal's documents, finds the spec sections and drawings that govern them, and lists what doesn't match, with the issue, where it is, and why it matters. PreCheck only reports. It doesn't change the submittal's status, add a comment, or approve anything, so verify each finding before you act on it.

Can it find conflicts between the drawings and the specs?

Yes. Run Find discrepancies from Drawings, or pick it from Use a Skill in the Agent. It reads the published drawings and specs and lists the material conflicts it finds, with the sources cited so you can check each one on the sheet or in the section.

Can bidders see and download the specs?

Yes. Invited bidders open the bid invitation and select View Specs in Bidding Resources, or select Download All for one ZIP of the drawings, specs, documents, and photos. See our bid management features.

Can I send someone just a few sections?

Yes. Select the sections, then choose Download Selected Sections, or Share Download Link to send a link instead of a file. Download All Specs exports the whole published set. Exports include only published pages, so books still in review stay out.

Can my field team open specs on a phone or tablet?

Yes. Specs open on desktop, mobile web, and in the Constructable app for iPhone, iPad, and Android. On a phone, open the navigation control to browse divisions and sections.

Which plan includes specs?

Every plan. Specs are part of Field Management, the entry plan, and every plan is a flat monthly rate with unlimited users, so subs, owners, and consultants can open the specs at no extra cost. Creating submittals from spec sections needs the Field and Project Management plan or above. See pricing.
