They say the devil is in the details — and if you’ve ever missed an item in construction specifications that later cost your project a lot of money, you know exactly what that means.

Let’s be real: reviewing specs without a checklist is like walking through a jobsite blindfolded and hoping for the best. Unless you’ve got a photographic memory and nerves of steel, you’re basically daring and taking risks that you should not be taking.

That’s why a construction specifications review checklist isn’t just nice to have — it’s your shield against chaos. We’ve done the hard work for you and built one with 19 sections and 90 detailed items. Each one is designed to help you easily find those details that hide in plain sight — the kind that can derail a project, spark a dispute, or ruin your weekend.

Here’s the fun part: if you know how to talk to a GPT properly, you can feed these checklist items in as prompts — and let the AI chew through your specs faster than you can say “Addendum No. 3.” The result? A detailed, organized report that would’ve taken you (and probably your intern) hours to compile.

Yes, there are GPTs that can do exactly that — review your specifications for you. Just upload, prompts, and let the digital assistant do the grunt work while you sip your coffee and pretend you did it all manually.

Below, you’ll find a video that walks through our specifications review checklist, showing off a few of the sections and review items.

If you want to do a deeper dive, grab access to one of our Webbook units, where you can dig into each section and explore all 90 items in full. Because smart construction pros don’t rely on memory — they rely on checklists (and maybe a little AI magic). Because when it comes to construction specs, the devil isn’t just in the details — they are hiding in the fine print, and your checklist is the only tool that can find them.
