What you get
- A report listing each requirement as compliant, deviation, missing or unclear.
- The specification page for every item, and the submittal page where a value was found.
- Under every row, a "Why" line: how the status was reached, from the stored values and the rule.
- Click a required or proposed value, or a page number, to see the quoted lines from your own document (names and prices masked), with the value highlighted where it is found; then click back to the row.
- Which RFI answer replaced a specification value, where one did.
- A next step for every item that needs action.
- Buttons in the PDF for your engineer: agree, disagree, not sure or pending on each row, with a comment box.
- A PDF and a CSV, marked as a draft for your engineer to review row by row.
What it checks today
- Division 03 (concrete), one section at a time.
- Text PDFs: material grades, dimensions, limits and ranges, standard references, sampling rates, and required documents or tests.
- Metric and imperial units.
- Anything it cannot judge safely is marked unclear for your engineer. It is never passed.
What it does not do
- It does not approve or reject work, and it is not a substitute for engineering review.
- It does not read drawings or handle several divisions at once.
- No accuracy figures are published. Any figure will come only from measured results on consented pilot data, with its method shown. Each pilot client receives a measured agreement report on its own rows, with the method shown.
How the pilot works
- Step 1: request a place below. Do not attach documents.
- Step 2: if your request fits, we confirm by email and send the pilot terms, which include a confidentiality schedule.
- Step 3: you put masked files (names, addresses, signatures and prices removed) in your own Google Drive folder, shared with us view-only, or, for an extra fee, in a private folder we create for you.
- Step 4: we return a draft report for your engineer to review, and ask for your feedback on each flagged item.
Example (synthetic, invented values)
SYNTHETIC EXAMPLE. The values below are invented for illustration. No real project is shown.
Download a full sample report (PDF, 7 pages, invented values). It shows the draft format your engineer receives: click a blue value to see its source line.
About SuRFIcE: overview (PDF, 12 slides) and presentation slides (PDF, 12 slides). Examples in both use invented values.
| Status | Specification requires | Submittal proposes | Next step |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deviation | Cover thickness at least 40 mm (spec p. 13) | 35 mm (submittal p. 6) | Contractor to revise or justify; engineer decides. |
| Missing | Bend test certificate required per lot (spec p. 2) | Not submitted | Contractor to submit the evidence. |
| Unclear | Reinforcement to IS 1786 (spec p. 1) | Equivalent to ASTM A615 (submittal p. 1) | Engineer to check the source pages. |
| Compliant | Slump 150 mm to 180 mm (spec p. 2) | 160 mm (submittal p. 1) | None. |
