Your Project Record. One Workspace.

Bring the tender package, spec book, drawings, quotes, contracts, daily logs, RFIs, submittals, schedules, and cost exports into one project. Docsbench’s agents read across all of it, so what you learned at bid time is still there for the first change order and the last closeout document.

Read and classify

Read Every Spec, Drawing, and Quote.

Spec books, drawing sets, addenda, and subcontractor quotes. Docsbench reads them all, pulls out the requirements, and sorts them by spec section, trade package, and location, keeping a reference to the page each came from. Missing scope and conflicting requirements surface before they turn into change orders.

Analysis

Connect the Field to the Contract.

Daily logs, RFIs, emails, photos, and schedule updates each hold part of the story. Docsbench links them into one dated chain of events, ties each event to the contract and spec requirement it affects, and shows the cost and time behind it.

Revision

Build the Package. Update It When the Job Changes.

Bid packages, owner reports, change orders, claims, and closeout dossiers, built in your formats from the record behind them. When the owner accepts an alternate or an addendum changes the scope, tell Docsbench which files to update, and it shows what moved.

Your Team Makes the Calls.

Can Docsbench read our drawings?

Yes. Upload drawing sets as PDFs or images, and Docsbench reads the notes, schedules, and details alongside the specs and project records. It doesn’t produce or mark up drawings; its outputs are Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files.

Does it work with Procore and our other tools?

Bring exports and documents from Procore, your scheduling software, your estimating system, and your accounting system. Docsbench works with the files you upload, alongside the tools you already use.

How does it handle addenda, revisions, and superseded documents?

Docsbench reads each version, flags what has been superseded, and records which version every requirement and figure comes from. When the governing version changes, tell it which files to update.

Who approves what goes to the owner?

You do. Estimators set the bid, project managers sign off change orders and claims, and schedulers own the schedule analysis. Docsbench prepares and revises the work under your direction.

Get Back to Building.

Spend less time leveling quotes, assembling change packages, and chasing closeout documents. Give your team more time for the decisions that keep the project on schedule and on budget.
