AI Specification Review Software
AI specification review software for contractors. Upload your spec book, ask questions and get answers cited to the section and page, and draft a submittal list and requirement checklist by CSI division in minutes instead of days of reading.
Why Contractors Use AECify for Spec Review
A project spec book can run hundreds of pages, and the requirements your team needs (submittals, specified products, testing, warranties, deadlines) are spread across dozens of sections. Missing one can mean a late submittal, a procurement delay, or a non-conformance found at inspection.
Small contractors rarely have a dedicated spec coordinator. The PM, estimator, or project engineer reads the spec between everything else. AECify's AI specification review software gives that person a faster way to find and organize what the spec requires, with a citation on every answer so they can verify it against the source before acting on it.
How AECify's AI Spec Review Works
Upload your project specification as a PDF. AECify processes and indexes the document, identifying spec sections, product requirements, submittal requirements, testing criteria, and key dates.
Then ask questions in the chat, such as 'What are the submittal requirements for Division 03?' or 'What concrete mix design is specified?' Answers cite the specific spec section and page number so you can open the source and confirm.
AECify can also generate structured outputs: a preliminary submittal list, a list of required testing and inspections, and a summary of key requirements by trade or CSI division. Your team reviews and refines the draft instead of building it from a blank page.

Key Features
Spec book upload and indexing
Upload a PDF specification and AECify's AI reads and indexes it by section, identifying product requirements, submittal requirements, and compliance criteria.
Cited answers in chat
Ask plain-language questions about your spec and get answers that reference the section number and page, so every answer can be checked against the source document.
Preliminary submittal list
Generate a draft submittal list from the specification: which sections require submittals, what type of submittal is needed, and related deadlines. Refine it, then manage submittals in AECify's submittal tracking.
Requirements by trade or CSI division
Pull out product specifications, testing criteria, quality requirements, and performance standards by trade or CSI division, each linked to its source section.
Key date identification
Surface time-bound requirements buried in the spec, including deadlines for submittals, testing, inspections, and closeout.
AI Spec Review vs. Reading the Spec Book Cover to Cover
Reading a large specification manually takes days, and important requirements still get missed when they sit in an unexpected section or are worded in a way that does not stand out. When several people need different information from the same spec, the reading gets repeated.
AECify's AI specification review software does not replace understanding your project's specifications. It shortens the search. Instead of reading every section to find the concrete requirements, you ask and check the cited paragraph. Instead of building a submittal list from scratch, you start from a draft. Your team spends its time verifying and deciding rather than hunting.
