The Challenge
Every contractor submittal — a material data sheet, a shop drawing, a product substitution request — has to be checked against the project specification and the approved drawing set before it can be approved. On a large project, that's hundreds of submittals, each requiring a reviewer to hold the relevant spec section and drawing detail in their head while reading the submittal line by line.
The volume isn't the only problem — it's that a missed deviation doesn't surface until it's already built, which is far more expensive to fix than catching it at submittal review.
“Reading a submittal is easy. Knowing which spec section and drawing detail it's supposed to match — and noticing when it doesn't — is the part that needs an agent.”
The Solution
The Saransh Document Intelligence Agent extracts structured data from submittals, specifications, and drawings regardless of format — scanned, CAD-exported, or native PDF. A Saarthi orchestration layer then cross-references each submittal against the applicable spec sections and drawing details, flagging genuine deviations for a reviewer rather than surfacing every submittal as a possible issue.
Checking one submittal in isolation is extraction. Checking it against the specific spec section and drawing detail it's supposed to comply with means holding both documents in context and making a compliance judgment — that's why this needs to be agentic rather than a static document-reading pass.
What This Pattern Typically Delivers
Reviewers work from a flagged-deviation queue instead of reading every submittal against the full spec set by hand, catching compliance issues at review instead of after they're built.
