About SpecCompass

The spec book, answered on the job site.

Inspectors, foremen, and contractors shouldn't have to flip through hundreds of PDF pages to answer a single question. SpecCompass reads your city, county, and state spec libraries — and your own construction contracts — and returns the exact requirements that apply, with page-level citations.

Built for the field

Designed for phones and tablets in gloves and daylight. Type the task, get the requirements. No dashboards to learn.

Cited, not invented

Every requirement links back to the source document, jurisdiction, and page number so you can verify in seconds.

Suggestion, not authority

SpecCompass is a cross-reference tool. Final calls stay with your engineer, inspector, or project manager — as they should.

Who it's for

One tool. Three sides of the site.

Whether you enforce the spec, execute the spec, or bid against the spec, SpecCompass shortens the distance between question and cited answer.

Inspectors

Confirm the exact spec that applies to what you're looking at, in seconds. Bring the citation into the conversation instead of a hunch.

Foremen

Answer crew questions on the spot. Know what today's task requires before you start pouring, cutting, or backfilling.

Contractors

Upload the construction contract and cross-reference it against every applicable city, county, and state spec — before bidding, before mobilizing, and during execution. Fewer surprises, cleaner change-order conversations.

Why it exists

The gap SpecCompass fills.

Because time on-site is expensive

A ten-minute answer becomes a two-hour dig through PDFs. Multiply that across a crew and a season, and the cost is real. SpecCompass compresses the loop.

Because specs stack across jurisdictions

City overrides county. County overrides state. Or the other way around. SpecCompass keeps every layer you upload searchable at once.

Because the answer has to be defensible

Every result is backed by the actual excerpt from the source PDF. You can hand the citation to a manager or reviewer without extra work.

Fewer PDFs. Faster answers. Same specs.

Upload your jurisdictions once. Ask questions the way you'd ask a senior inspector — in plain English.
