Drawing Review agent

Design Quality Review works spec-first: it walks your specification sections and checks the design against them. The new Drawing Review agent works from the other direction, leading with the sheets themselves.

  • Every sheet gets its own reviewer. The agent fans out across the drawing set in parallel, one review per sheet.
  • Cross-discipline checks. Each sheet is compared against the related sheets it coordinates with, across disciplines: structural against architectural, mechanical against plumbing, plans against their schedules and details.
  • Coordination defects surface as issues. Clashes, conflicting values, and broken callouts or cross-references land in your Issues list with citations to the exact sheet regions involved.

Run it alongside Design Quality Review rather than instead of it. The two catch different classes of problems. Read more in Design review.

Review stamps

Reviewers can now finish a review the way they always have: with the firm's own stamp on the page.

  • Bring your existing stamps. Upload the same dynamic stamp PDFs you use in Bluebeam under Org Settings. Specset reads the stamp's form fields and figures out which is the date, the reviewer, the project, and which need manual input.
  • One-click placement. In the document viewer, choose Apply stamp, pick a stamp, and the date and reviewer fill in automatically. Anything left gets a quick prompt.
  • Stays with the document. Placed stamps persist with the document's annotations and come along in downloads.

Building areas for specs and drawings

Projects with multiple buildings often ship a spec book and drawing set per building, with the same section and sheet numbers repeated in each. Specset now supports building areas to keep them straight.

  • Per-building namespaces. Assign an area to each spec or drawing file, and every extracted section and sheet inherits it. Section 09 91 23 in Building A and Building B are now two distinct records.
  • Grouped browsing. The specifications list groups by area and then division, so each building reads as its own spec book.
  • Area-aware answers. Search, Q&A, and reviews understand areas, disambiguate duplicate numbers, and can be scoped to a single building.

Areas are opt-in per project under project settings. Read more in Specifications and Drawings.

Submittal Review V2

Submittal review has been rebuilt from the ground up. Instead of walking a generic checklist, the review now starts from the submittal itself: it reads what was actually submitted and generates review checks from that content, then verifies each one against your specifications, drawings, and RFIs.

  • Submittal-first checks. Because checks come from the submittal's own pages, the review covers everything that was actually submitted, not just what a spec-driven checklist expects to find.
  • A citation behind every verdict. A finding is only allowed to stand if it cites the governing requirement, whether that's a spec paragraph, a schedule value on a drawing, or an RFI response. Click any finding to see exactly what it was checked against.
  • One review workflow. Findings consolidate into issues on a single Overview page. Step through them in the review flyout, dismiss what doesn't apply, and reopen anything later.
  • Ready-to-send exports. Download the review as a marked-up PDF package with a clickable issue table of contents, or as a spreadsheet.
