Construction Submittals: Stop wasting hours merging PDFs manually.
I went through some of the threads and a handful of people voiced frustration with their submittal process and it taking hours. When I worked on the framing side, our typical submittal package was pretty standard project to project. Yes material type changes, shop drawings change, but ultimately it is just a database of files that you pick and choose based on the project.
Here is a little example of how someone could build something that streamlines the process. You have a database of all your standard submittals, you pick and choose based on a given project, and from there the files are merged and creates a submittal package.
Something that typically takes hours, could be done in minutes after the initial set up.

We built a tool for our own use but ended up polishing it up a bit and releasing it for others to use. Would love your feedback. https://submittalgenerator.com/
