Dashboards for every project

Open Dashboards in any project's sidebar to see where the project stands this week. Each section starts with four dashboards: Project status (what is overdue, what was approved, and who holds the open work), Submittal tracker (ball in court, closures per week, spec divisions, and submittals at risk of holding up the work), RFI tracker (age, managers, and cost or schedule impact), and Design review issues (severity, discipline, and reviewer feedback). The organization's Dashboards adds a Portfolio overview of every project, most overdue first. Each dashboard reads your data as you, so people see only the records they can already open.

Every number leads to its records. Click a tile such as Overdue RFIs, a bar for a manager or a week, or View all under a table, and the Submittals, RFIs or Issues list opens with exactly those filters applied. Long tables show 10 rows with a Show more button.

The RFI and submittal lists gained the filters these links use, so you can apply them yourself too: Overdue, RFI cost or schedule impact and created dates, and submittal spec division and closed dates.

Want something else on screen? Click New dashboard and describe it. The agent builds it as a draft, and Managers and Admins publish it to the section. See Dashboards.

Issue drawing PDF exports

Share a drawing coordination review as a single marked-up PDF. Select issues in the issue list, choose Export, and select Annotated drawings (.pdf). Specset gathers their marked drawing sheets and adds boxed captions that explain each issue beside its location.

Only sheets with visible issue annotations are included. Sheets shared by several selected issues appear once, with their comments together. Add the optional issue index for a compact list with links to the marked drawings, or leave it off to start straight with the sheets.

Flatten annotations is on by default for sharing. Excel and CSV exports remain available in the same menu. Large drawing exports can take a few minutes, so keep the export window open until the download begins.

Verified issues and a Cleanup list

Design quality reviews cast a wide net on purpose, and until now that meant you did the sifting. Every issue a review files is now checked by a second, independent AI before it enters your list. The verifier goes back to the plans and specs and actively tries to disprove the finding: it re-reads the cited sheets, checks drafting conventions, and looks for the answer elsewhere in the documents.

Issues that hold up show an AI confirmed badge. Hover it to read what was checked and why the issue stands, with a link to the full verification session. Findings that do not survive are archived automatically with the reasoning saved, so they never cost you a click. The verifier also gives severity a second opinion and rewrites vague titles, so what you see is worth your time.

Real-but-minor items, like typos, leftover boilerplate, and details a later revision will fill in, are routed to a separate Cleanup list instead of your review queue. The queue keeps only findings that need someone on the design team to make a call.

The Cleanup list keeps minor fixes out of your review queue without losing them.

AI issue verification

AI review findings are only worth your time if you can trust them. Issues now get a built-in second opinion: an independent verification agent that re-researches each finding from scratch, with no stake in the original conclusion.

  • Confirm or reject, with receipts. The verifier re-reads the cited documents and either confirms the issue, rejects it, or refines it. Its full reasoning is available as a dedicated verification thread on the issue.
  • Severity gets a sanity check. Overstated or understated severities are corrected as part of verification, so the high-severity list stays trustworthy.
  • Automatic on new reviews. Projects can turn on auto-verification so design quality, deep design, and drawing review issues are verified as they're created.
  • Filter by verdict. Verification status appears on every issue, and the list and Overview dashboard filter by it, so you can start with confirmed issues and work outward.

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.

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.
