Review a specification that is not MasterFormat.
Specset reviews a specification book that is not organized as MasterFormat. It reads the headings, parts, and section numbers in the uploaded file, then checks plans and submittals against that text. Format examples are on the UFGS and DOT specs page.
The parser follows the book you upload.
The parser reads the outline in the file. It does not ask for the book to be rewritten as MasterFormat first.
A MasterFormat project manual is one structure. A DOT book, a guide specification, or a railroad standard is another. The general parser reads the headings, parts, and section numbers in the file. It does not require the book to be renumbered into CSI divisions before review starts.
The book keeps the outline it was issued with.
Specset reads that outline through the general parser.
A DOT book, a guide specification, or a railroad standard can use headings and section numbers that are not MasterFormat. The general parser follows the structure in the uploaded file.
Plans and submittals are checked against that text.
The book stays in the structure it was written in. Review cites the paragraph or the sheet.
Spec intelligence reads the project manual into sections the rest of the record can use. Design quality review compares that text with the sheets. Conflicts, missing information, and constructability risks come back cited. The reviewer confirms, downgrades, or dismisses each finding.
Submittal review checks the package against the sections and the current drawings. Checks run spec-first, drawing-first, and submittal-first. The package comes back annotated. Specset does not replace the reviewer who owns the stamp. Questions that follow the set are tracked on RFIs and revisions.
What teams ask about specifications that are not MasterFormat.
01Are the formats named on the UFGS and DOT specs page a boundary?
No. Those names are examples. The general parser follows the headings, parts, and section numbers in the document that was uploaded.
02Which books does the general parser read?
Books that are not organized as MasterFormat. The general parser follows the headings, parts, and section numbers in the document that was uploaded.
03What does a review of a non-MasterFormat book return?
Specset reads the book as issued, follows that document's own structure, and reviews plans and submittals against the text. Findings cite the paragraph or the sheet. The reviewer still owns the stamp.
Other agents that start from the same record.
Design quality review
Review specifications and drawings in project-wide context. Return verified conflicts, omissions, and constructability risks with the source open.
Submittal review
Fully automated reviews of mix designs, shop drawings, product data, safety plans, and more against every applicable requirement. The package comes back annotated, the way a project engineer would return it.
Plan comparison
Compare two plan sets, or two revisions of one sheet. Every change comes back matched by sheet, classified by what it touches, and shown beside the drawing, clouded or not.
Send the specifications in the format they were written.
Bring the project manual as issued. Specset follows that document's own structure, then checks plans and submittals against the text. You check the citation before anything goes back on the project letterhead.
