mbue Submittals uses AI to analyse drawings and specifications then automatically extract product information
Construction technology company mbue has launched a new platform designed to automatically generate “fully compliant” product data submittals, helping subcontractors reduce weeks of manual work to just minutes.
mbue Submittals uses a proprietary AI model and computer vision to analyze drawings and specifications — including electrical schedules — and automatically extracts the required product information. The platform can generate submittals for light fixtures, switchgear, panels, devices, and other materials, streamlining a traditionally time-consuming and error-prone process.
The company anticipates the new platform will drive productivity by over 30% through reduced rework, fewer rejections, and labour hours redirected to higher-value work.
“mbue Submittals removes a long-standing bottleneck for subcontractors,” said Jean-Pierre Trou, founder and CEO of mbue. “By compressing weeks of paperwork into minutes and improving the accuracy of what gets submitted, we’re giving contractors a faster, more reliable path to approval so they can focus on building, not busywork.”
“Submittals have traditionally been a painful, labour-intensive process that slows projects down.” said Garrett White, VP, Texas at Weifield Group.
“With mbue, we’re seeing submittals completed in a fraction of the time, with greater accuracy and confidence. This is a huge step forward for the industry and directly helps us increase the amount of volume each PM can deliver, we can do more with the same team which directly contributes to our company’s revenue growth.”
mbue Submittals is initially focused on commercial electrical contractors, with access expanding to all subcontractors in future releases.
Pilots are underway with leading electrical contractors, including Weifield Group.
