Built for the way you bid

What makes
SpecScope
different

Built from the ground up for subcontractors who bid work. Not a general document tool stretched to fit — a purpose-built spec reader that understands CSI divisions, trade scope, and what actually matters when you're pricing a job.

Trade-specific, not generic
Scope is filtered to your trade automatically. A drywall estimator sees drywall scope — not HVAC, plumbing, or irrelevant sections.
Results in under 2 minutes
Upload a PDF and get a complete bid checklist, risk flags, and submittal list before your next meeting — not hours later.
AI built into every step
Risk flags, confidence scores, and RFI drafts are generated automatically — so every estimator has the same sharp eye on every bid.

The details that power your bids

Everything you need to bid with confidence

Instant Bid Checklists
Upload any spec PDF and get a trade-filtered checklist of required inclusions, exclusions, and alternates in under 2 minutes.
Risk Flag Detection
Every ambiguity, contested scope item, and missing detail is flagged with severity — High, Med, or Low — before you submit a number.
RFI Draft Generator
Turn any flagged ambiguity into a ready-to-send RFI. Just review, edit if needed, and send — no starting from a blank page.
Submittal List
Automatically extract all required submittals, shop drawings, and product data requirements so nothing slips through during procurement.
Confidence Scoring
Each section of the analysis gets a 0–100 confidence score so you know exactly where the spec is clear vs. where to ask questions.
PDF & Excel Export
Export your full analysis as a branded PDF or multi-tab Excel workbook to share with your team or attach to your bid package.

What changes when
you use SpecScope.

The same bid. A completely different experience getting there.

❌ Without SpecScope
😓
Reading 300+ page spec books cover to cover — most of it irrelevant to your trade

Manually searching for submittal requirements buried in boilerplate
⚠️
Missing scope items that only surface during construction — costly change orders
🗒️
Handwritten notes and informal checklists that vary by estimator
Uncertainty about contested scope at bid time
✅ With SpecScope AI
Only your trade's sections — filtered and summarized automatically

Spec review done in minutes, not hours

Common questions.

Everything you need to know before getting started.

Yes. SpecScope works with any PDF specification book — CSI MasterFormat structured specs, project manuals, or combined spec/drawing packages. As long as the spec is a PDF, we can analyze it.
We run a hybrid engine — CSI MasterFormat division mapping combined with trade-specific keyword matching. High-confidence sections are auto-assigned. Low-confidence sections are sent to our AI classifier and flagged for review. Overall accuracy is 94%+ on standard commercial specs.

Absolutely. Every analysis can be exported as a formatted PDF report or an Excel checklist. Both are designed to drop directly into your estimating workflow — no reformatting needed.
