How It Works

Locate trade-specific sections and review the information you need before preparing your project documents.

1

Upload Your Spec PDF

Drag and drop any spec book - 100 pages or 3,000 pages. The analyzer handles it all.

2

Select Your Divisions

Choose which CSI divisions matter for your trade: 04 Masonry, 07 Waterproofing, 00/01 General, and more.

3

Get Your Scope

Receive extracted sections, submittal requirements, materials, and scope notes - ready for bidding.

What You Get

Trade-Specific Extraction

Pull out just Division 04 (Masonry), Division 07 (Waterproofing), or any combination. No more scrolling through electrical specs to find your scope.

Submittal Checklists

Automatically identifies what you need to submit - product data, samples, mockups, certifications. Never miss a submittal requirement again.

Material & Product Specs

Extracts specified products, approved manufacturers, and material requirements so you know exactly what to quote.

Scope Notes & Exclusions

Catches the details that affect your bid - cleaning requirements, protection, testing, and items often buried deep in the specs.

The Problem With Traditional Spec Review

A typical commercial spec book is 1,500-3,000 pages. As a subcontractor, maybe 50-100 of those pages actually matter for your trade. But finding those pages means scrolling, searching, and hoping you don't miss the one paragraph that affects your entire bid.

2-3 Hours
Average time to manually review a spec book
Missed Scope
Easy to skip a critical note buried on page 847
Lost Bids
Too many bids to review = opportunities passed

I built the Spec Analyzer after spending years manually searching through spec books. You get a 2,400-page PDF at 4pm and the bid is due the next morning. There had to be a better way. Now there is.

Stop Wasting Time on Spec Books

Find relevant sections and verify what your project requires.

From Requirements to a Finished Package

Finding a requirement is the first step. Your team verifies the specification, selects the product documents and reviews the package before submitting it. PM4Subs provides a separate package-building workflow inside the project.
