How Cleveland Construction Compressed Submittal Cycles from Days to Hours — and Won New Business Doing It
Cleveland Construction partnered with Trunk Tools to bring AI-powered intelligence to their Autodesk Forma environment. The results: fewer trips to the trailer to check the documents with TrunkText and hundreds of hours saved in submittal reviews for project engineers using TrunkSubmittal across 4 sites.
Cleveland’s projects generate terabytes of data and teams were losing hours each week to manual document searches and lengthy review cycles. A missed non-compliance didn't show up on paper; it showed up in the field. By layering Trunk Tools onto their existing Autodesk Forma foundation, Cleveland transformed a process that once took days into a same-day cycle, and gave less experienced staff the ability to produce reviews with the accuracy of colleagues years ahead of them.
Across four projects, the results speak for themselves: 790+ hours saved, $60K+ in estimated cost savings, and a reputation for responsiveness that's already generating referrals from architects.
Overall, Trunk Tools has helped Cleveland Construction protect schedule, reduce rework risk, and position itself as the tech-forward builder clients want on their next major project.
