How it works

No login. No Procore subscription required. No setup. Drop two files, get a report in three formats.

Drop spec + submittal

Upload the Division 09 spec section (excerpt is fine) and the subcontractor's submittal package. Native PDF, markdown, or plain text. Up to 30 megabytes per file.

AI reviews against the 6-category taxonomy

Every finding maps to one of six Division 09 deviation categories with default severity (Blocker, Fix and Resubmit, or Note Only). The AI quotes spec and submittal verbatim and suggests the action.

1-page executive summary with severity tally, top findings, and Project Manager (PM) signature line. Full detail follows on subsequent pages. HTML, Markdown, JSON.

What it catches.

Six categories cover ~95 percent of real Division 09 submittal deviations. Every finding the AI flags maps to one of these or it goes in reviewer notes for human review.

Manufacturer or Product Substitution

Sub proposes a different manufacturer or model than spec. De-escalates to Note Only when an Architect-issued "or equal" approval letter is attached.

Performance Specification Gap

A measured property (Noise Reduction Coefficient, fire rating, slip resistance, recycled content) fails the spec threshold. Default Blocker.

Missing Certification or Compliance Documentation

Required third-party cert or test report (Underwriters Laboratories, American Society for Testing and Materials, GREENGUARD, FloorScore) is referenced but not attached.

Aesthetic Deviation

Submitted color, finish, sheen, or pattern differs from spec or approved sample. Flags textual mismatches; prompts physical-sample verification.

Detail or Installation Mismatch

Edge profile, thickness, joint pattern, fastener type, or installation method differs. Escalates to Blocker when life-safety or structural performance applies.

Submittal Package Incompleteness

A submittal item explicitly required by spec (sample, warranty, maintenance instructions, Safety Data Sheet) is missing from the package.

Frequently asked

Does it replace a Project Manager (PM)'s review?

No. Every report includes a PM sign-off line. The AI surfaces deviations and suggests actions; the PM decides. We position this as AI-assisted review, not AI-decided review.

What if I miss something the AI also missed?

Liability for the submittal review remains with the PM. Treat the report as a high-recall first pass, not as a defect-free guarantee. Always physically inspect samples, drawings, and field conditions per your normal workflow.

Do I need Procore or Autodesk Construction Cloud?

No. Drop two PDFs and get a report. If you do use Procore, you can export the submittal PDF and feed it in directly.

What if my submittal is a scanned image PDF?

Native PDFs (exported from Procore, Bluebeam, Word, Acrobat) work cleanly. Scanned image-only PDFs are less reliable; we may add Optical Character Recognition (OCR) pre-processing in 2026 Q3.

Is my submittal data private?

Yes. Submittals are processed for review and never used for model training. Source files (your spec and submittal documents) are deleted within 7 days of report generation. Reports are retained for 30 days on per-submittal accounts, or for the duration of your active subscription plus 30 days post-cancellation. Export anytime within the retention window. After it closes, data is permanently deleted, with no opt-in to extend.

Other CSI Divisions?

Division 09 (Finishes) is the Week 1 launch. Division 26 (Electrical) and Division 23 (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning, HVAC) are next. Vote for the one you want by emailing hello@deviationcheck.com.

How does the free sample work?

One free sample report per organization. You email us a Division 09 spec section and matching submittal; we verify the email address (one-time code), generate the report, and send it back inside one business day. Disposable email addresses and plus-alias variants of an already-served email are not eligible. Full rules in Terms of Service section 3.1.

What does "unlimited reviews" on Firm Suite actually mean?

No per-review charge and no monthly review cap on the 3 declared projects. Subject to fair use: a soft ceiling of 1,000 reviews per firm per month (sustained usage above triggers a conversation about a custom enterprise tier, not a silent shut-off), and per-account rate limits of 100 reviews per 24 hours and 30 per hour. Re-running an identical submittal within 30 days is free and does not count toward fair-use accounting. Full rules in Terms of Service section 7.1.
