Design hours go to searching every item.
With Beem
We do the searching. Your team decides.
For reviewers
Make the call on the first pass.
We match every item in the package to your drawings and spec, and our trade experts flag what differs. It's back within 48 hours, and the searching hours go back where they belong: the spaces you're designing and the people who'll use them.

When an item goes back
The resubmittal clears with the same click.
Still two clicks. The sub sends a corrected sheet, we read Rev 2 against the same drawing and spec, and this motor matches now. The flag clears, and Approved is the same first click, made on one look. If it still differed, it would stay flagged, with the reason.
It's as easy as that!
Material comparison
Is it the same product in the ways that matter?
When the contractor substitutes, you see where the submitted product holds up against what you specified and where it falls short, side by side. You make the call with confidence and can defend it later.

Key difference
Listing: ASSE 1070 on the basis of design, ASME A112.18.1 on the submitted sheet.
Illustrative products.
Matches clear fast
When the submitted sheet is the product your documents name, you can clear it and move on.
Substitutions get flagged
A different maker or model is flagged, including an alternate where the spec or project manual names the brand.
Calls you can defend
Every value shows the page it came from, so your decision holds up when the trades argue.
Comments, already written
A difference goes into the item's comments as a finished sentence, values and pages included. Send it to the contractor, or keep it internal.
Only when it's needed
We compare only when a different product came in, so your team isn't reading comparisons it doesn't need.
Your stamp stays yours
It shows where the two products part. Whether the substitution is acceptable stays with your reviewer.
Cross-trade check Beta
Catch conflicts between trades before they reach the field.
Each trade's package is reviewed on its own, so a unit that can't run on the circuit feeding it can slip through. We pair the two across the packages and flag both items when we're sure they don't fit.

OnM-02 and E-02, both flagged
Which one changes: the rooftop units at 460 V or Panel H at 120/208 V?
Beta. For now the check covers power: each piece of equipment against the circuit that feeds it. Illustrative job.
Questions principals ask
What do you cover?
Product data for materials and off-the-shelf equipment. We do not cover shop drawings or cut sheets for custom materials that require fabrication.
Are you reviewing our submittals for us?
No. We do the pass before yours, and your reviewers make every determination.
We already have a review process.
Keep it. We take over the searching, which is where the time goes, and those hours go back to design and your other projects. The transmittal and logs come out of the same issue step you'd do anyway.
What if a flag is wrong?
Every flag cites the page it came from, so your reviewer checks the source before acting on it.
How is this different from software we'd run ourselves?
Software hands you a tool and a setup project. We hand back your project already matched and flagged, for your final decision.
More hours for the spaces you're shaping.
