Calcs, load data, structural details, and product data sheets arrive from multiple subcontractors in different formats, while the specs they need to comply with sit in email attachments, project systems, and shared drives. Project engineers piece together these scattered project files manually before any cross-referencing can begin.
They manually extract submittal requirements from specification books, cross-check them against incoming packages, and flag discrepancies line by line. That work is hard to quality-check at scale because verification often means repeating the same review. Late design errors are more expensive to resolve after materials are fabricated and scope misalignments move downstream.
