SpecFunnel works alongside Procore and Autodesk — filling the gap in testing and inspection management that general PM platforms don't cover.
| Feature | SpecFunnel | Procore | Autodesk |
|---|---|---|---|
Auto-generate ITP log from specs Upload a spec PDF and get a structured ITP log — test names, standards, frequencies, and acceptance criteria extracted automatically by MasterFormat division. Autodesk's AutoSpecs extracts submittal requirements from specs, and both Procore and Autodesk have AI chat that can answer questions about spec content — but neither automatically builds a complete inspection and test plan. | |||
Plan drawing test extraction Upload plan sheets and automatically extract testing callouts, special inspection notes, and drawing references — matched back to your spec-based ITP log. Autodesk Assistant can answer questions about drawing content, but doesn't automatically extract test requirements into a structured log. | |||
Third-party report parsing Upload inspection reports (concrete, soil, steel, etc.) and automatically extract pass/fail results, inspector, location, date, and subcontractor — tied back to spec requirements. | |||
Pass/fail tracking by subcontractor See which subcontractors are passing and failing inspections at a glance, with compliance rates and visual breakdowns. | |||
Inspection scheduling with email approvals Schedule inspections and send one-click email requests to inspectors. They approve or deny from their inbox — no account needed. | |||
Inspector works without an account Inspectors approve, deny, and add inspections to their calendar directly from email — no login, no app download, no onboarding friction. | |||
Drag-and-drop rescheduling Grab an inspection on the calendar and drop it on a new day. SpecFunnel automatically notifies the inspector. Procore offers drag-and-drop in their scheduling tool but not specifically for inspection rescheduling with inspector notifications. | |||
AI project chat Ask questions about your project in natural language. All three platforms offer AI chat — Procore Assist and Autodesk Assistant cover broad project data, while SpecFunnel's chat is focused on testing status, subcontractor pass/fail rates, and inspection history. | |||
Custom inspection checklists Build custom inspection checklists and templates with configurable hold points and approval workflows. SpecFunnel has this on the roadmap. | |||
PDF and Excel exports Export your ITP as a branded PDF or Excel file, ready to share with owners, inspectors, and subcontractors. |
Procore and Autodesk are great at what they do — RFIs, submittals, document control, scheduling, and full project management. Keep using them.
SpecFunnel fills the gap they don't cover: reading your specs and building your ITP automatically, parsing third-party inspection reports with pass/fail tracking by subcontractor, and letting inspectors approve schedule changes from their inbox without an account. It works alongside your existing tools, not against them.
Use Procore or Autodesk for project management. Use SpecFunnel for your testing and inspection workflow.
