Features powering your submittals
Upload your catalogs once and Bobyard builds a searchable product data library your whole team can use on every project.
• Catalog upload: Add manufacturer catalogs to the library one time. They are available to every project and every teammate.
• Auto-split and tagging: AI splits multi-product catalogs into individual products and tags them, so there is no manual organizing.
• One shared library: A catalog one person uploads helps the whole company, not just that project.
• Search online: If a product isn't in your library, "Not here, search online" finds public manufacturer PDFs.
• Organic materials: Generate a product data page for shrubs and other organic materials, with a description, an image, and cited sources.
• Cited sources: Generated pages show where the information came from, so you can check it before it goes to your GC.
Your spec defines what to submit, your takeoff knows what goes into it. Bobyard connects the two so your submittal is organized before you start.
• AI submittal log: Upload the spec or submittal requirements, and Bobyard identifies the required packages, like product data, warranties and test reports, with spec references.
• Takeoff import: Pull materials from your Bobyard takeoff straight into each package. Legend info fills in as the item description.
• Bulk item creation: No Bobyard takeoff? Add items to a package in bulk from a list.
• Takeoff materials: Import materials from a project's takeoff straight into the submittal item list.
• Legend auto-fill: Legend info fills in as each item's description.
Bob GPT does the searching, and you make the call on every product.
• Search all: Run one search for every item in the submittal, across your library and the web.
• Ranked matches: Each item shows candidate matches ranked by confidence score.
• Page control: Box the exact product on each page and uncheck the pages you don't need.
