Leveraging AI for Construction Submittal Reviews

Submittal reviews are among the most time-consuming and risk-prone workflows in construction. Missed details mean rework, procurement delays, and schedule exposure — and with hundreds of submittals per project, the margin for error is slim.

This session brings together construction practitioners actively using tools like TrunkSubmittal by Trunk Tools to discuss how AI is changing the submittal review process: what it catches, what it changes about daily workflows, and what it means for teams stretched thin by labor shortages.

You'll come away with

• A clear picture of where AI fits into the submittal review workflow — and where human judgment still leads
• Real examples of discrepancies caught before they became field problems
• A look at the data behind tens of thousands of AI-assisted reviews across active construction projects

This webinar will cover

The real cost of submittals — How review bottlenecks create procurement delays, schedule risk, and downstream costs that compound fast.

How the agent works — A look at TrunkSubmittal's full workflow — from generating the submittal register to pushing compliance status back into your PMS.

Lessons from the field — Practitioners share how AI-assisted review has changed daily workflows and what they've learned from working alongside the agent.

Closing the labor gap — How teams are using AI to maintain review quality amid labor shortages and accelerate development of early-career engineers.
