AI agent for construction contractors
Construction Submittal Completeness Agent
Submittals that pass completeness review the first time.
What it does
Submittals such as product data and shop drawings often come back from review because they are incomplete or show the wrong product. Every rejection costs days on the schedule. This agent checks each uploaded package against the submittal item it claims to answer. It reads the documents themselves, not the file names, and confirms model IDs, revision numbers, required attachments and admin fields such as spec section and stamp. When something is missing or wrong, it prepares a deficiency draft that names the exact gap, then rechecks the replacement when it arrives. Only complete packages go to the coordinator for technical review. Technical acceptance and formal notices stay with people. Edge case: a brochure covering a whole product family is not accepted until the required model is clearly marked.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides
It tests each requirement against document content, not file names.
- Read document content; file names never prove compliance.
- A deficiency draft names the exact missing or wrong item.
- Product family brochures pass only when the required model is marked.
- Replacements get the full check again, not just the corrected item.
