TrunkSubmittal · Submittal Review Agent

Don’t let submittal review cycles slow your project down.

TrunkSubmittal reads every new submittal against your specs and RFI responses, flags what’s non-compliant for your review, and drafts a response to your trade partner so issues get caught and corrected before they ever reach the architect.

How top contractors are saving time with TrunkSubmittal

Cleveland Construction
TrunkSubmittal takes a PE or APM with little to no experience in the industry and gives them five-plus years of experience to work with. It drives efficiency, catches things some of our most senior PM staff doesn't look for, and ensures we aren't just passing paper to the architect to review.

I have significantly less revise and resubmit requests, and even received a few shoutouts from the design team for attention to detail with submittal reviews.

WHY TRUNKSUBMITTAL

Addressing Real-World Challenges
Faced by Project Teams

Challenge

Submittal reviews are tedious and easy to get wrong for early-career team members. Every submittal arrives in a different format and has to be read against the spec line by line.

Solution

TrunkSubmittal automatically finds the relevant spec sections and RFI responses, even when they're untagged in your project management system, analyzes the submittal against those requirements, and flags every non-compliant and partially compliant item. The first pass is done and accessible in Procore or Autodesk before the PE opens the review.

Challenge

Submittals get forwarded to the architect without a real review, putting compliance and the schedule at risk and making the next OAC meeting uncomfortable.

Solution

TrunkSubmittal catches things even senior staff don't look for, so you're never just passing paper to the architect. Reviews move faster, approvals come sooner, and design teams notice the difference.

Challenge

Review quality and process vary from project to project with the experience of the reviewers.

Solution

TrunkSubmittal brings one standard to every review across the organization, giving a PE two months out of school the equivalent of five-plus years of experience to work with.
Experienced submittal reviewers are hard to find and harder to replace.
TrunkSubmittal makes Project Engineers faster and more accurate, closing the experience gap without adding headcount.

Use TrunkSubmittal to Generate Your Register

Before you request submittals from trade partners, make sure you know every requirement.

Before the first submittal is reviewed, someone has to spend the better part of a week reading through the spec book line by line to build the register. Often, some requirements slip through. 

The Submittal Register tool reads the entire spec book and extracts every submittal directive and product from your specs, categorizes each as Action, Informational, or Closeout, and links every line back to its source paragraph. Push it straight to Autodesk or export a Procore-ready CSV and give TrunkSubmittal a complete register to review against from day one

How it works

Submittal Review, Reinvented

TrunkSubmittal runs on Cortex, the construction intelligence layer built from the ground up on real jobsite data, not a generic AI tool retrofitted for construction.

Here’s how it works.

  • 01

    Intake

    TrunkSubmittal starts working the moment a submittal enters Procore or Autodesk with no manual setup and without leaving your workflow. Teams on SharePoint, Egnyte, Box, or Dropbox can also use TrunkSubmittal.

    Intake
  • 02

    Alignment

    TrunkSubmittal identifies the correct spec sections and the related RFI responses — even when they're untagged in your project management system — and extracts the list of requirements each submittal has to meet.

    Alignment
  • 03

    Analysis

    Every submittal is compared against those requirements and classified Fully, Partially, or Non-Compliant, with each discrepancy described succinctly with the source cited.

    Analysis
  • 04

    Recommendation

    TrunkSubmittal summarizes the findings and recommends the next step: submit for approval, request more info, or return to the subcontractor.

    Recommendation
  • 05

    Action

    It drafts the response email to the subcontractor when there's an issue, or to the architect for approval when the submittal is clean and re-analyzes revisions instantly.

    Action
  • 06

    Publish

    A summary of the analysis is published in PDF format in submittal record in Procore or Autodesk.
