Native Gantt scheduling

Specset now includes a native scheduling module, so the schedule can live next to the documents it depends on.

  • CPM engine. Activities, dependencies, and critical-path calculation run natively; no round-trips to a separate scheduling tool.
  • P6 import and export. Bring in an existing Primavera P6 schedule, work on it in Specset, and export it back out for partners who stay in P6.
  • Versions and lookaheads. Snapshot the schedule as versions to track slippage over time, and build two- to six-week lookahead views for field coordination.

Scheduling is in beta. If you want access, or you're interested in what it could do for your projects, reach out to your account team and we'll get you set up.

Maintenance checklists and guided runs

Maintenance tasks extracted from your O&M manuals are only useful if someone actually works through them. That workflow now exists.

  • Due now, at a glance. Every asset page groups its maintenance into Due now and Coming up, with a red pill on the tab so overdue work is visible from anywhere.
  • Log in bulk. Select a batch of routine tasks and log them done in one step. Due dates re-anchor automatically for the next cycle.
  • Guided runs. Start a maintenance run and step through one task at a time, built for a phone in the field. Progress saves as you go, so an interrupted run resumes where it left off, and photos attach as evidence on each completion.
  • A readable schedule. The maintenance calendar and timeline cluster same-day items per asset, so a dense PM program stays legible.

Maintenance is part of the closeout beta. If you want access, or you're interested, reach out and we'll set you up. Read more in the F&M portal.

Project folders, card views, and duplication

Three improvements for teams running many projects at once:

  • Folders. Group the projects list into org-wide folders, so regions, divisions, or phases each get their own shelf.
  • Card views. Projects and locations can now be browsed as visual cards instead of rows, which makes large portfolios much faster to scan.
  • Project duplication. Start a new job from an existing one: duplication clones the documents and the spec and drawing structure into a fresh project, so repeat work skips the setup.

Spec coverage checks for submitted products

Submittal reviews now cross-check every submitted product against your conformed specifications. When a product shows up in the submittal but not in the spec, the review flags it.

That catches the cases that are easiest to miss under deadline pressure: unapproved substitutions, items from a different spec section, and products that were value-engineered out but never left the submittal package. Each flag cites the spec sections that were checked, so verifying it takes one click.

Annotate and download submittal reviews

Submittal reviews now produce a package you can send back as-is. The new Annotate & Download action stamps every review finding onto the submittal pages and exports the annotated PDF in one step.

Reviewers stay in control of what ships:

  • Editable issue marks. Move, reword, or remove any annotation before export. Edits sync back into the compiled review, so the record and the package always match.
  • Review-scoped marks. Marks belong to the review that created them, so re-reviews start clean instead of inheriting stale annotations.

Issues Overview dashboard

A long list of findings doesn't tell you what a design's problems will cost. The Issues page now opens on an Overview dashboard that does.

  • Cost and impact, added automatically. Significant issues are enriched with impact tags (schedule, rework, safety, and more) and an estimated cost-to-correct range.
  • Exposure at a glance. The dashboard rolls those up into active cost exposure, a status burndown, and the costed findings driving the number.
  • Sliced the way you triage. Breakdowns by impact, issue type, and discipline link straight into the filtered list, and every row opens the full issue preview.

The classic grid is still there on the List tab. Read more in Issues.

Closeout and O&M records

Closeout packages usually end their life as a thousand-page PDF nobody opens. Specset now turns them into a structured record set the owner and facilities team can actually use.

  • A real record model. Assets, systems, locations, products, companies, and warranties, each with its own page, linked documents, and documentation.
  • Agent-built, not hand-entered. Drop closeout files into the project and the agent classifies each one, links it to the right records, and fills in the details from the documents themselves.
  • Bundles get unbundled. Supplier packages, commissioning packets, and per-area warranty packs are sliced into per-asset and per-location documents, with every slice tracing back to its source pages.
  • Warranties, extracted. Warranty documents become structured records with dates, terms, and contacts, collected in a project-wide warranties list sorted by expiration.

Closeout is in beta. If you want access, or you're interested in what it could do for your handoffs, reach out and we'll set you up. Read more in the F&M portal.
