Review exceptions and discrepancies

Conflicts and unusual conditions surface for your estimator to call.

Move approved quantities into the quote

Numbers your estimator reviewed and signed off on.

A faster first pass, with your estimator in control.

  1. 01

    Upload

    Add the reflected ceiling plans and lighting fixture schedule from the project — architectural PDF, any sheet count, any revision.

Built around the lighting-distributor workflow.

Lighting-specific

RCPs, fixture schedules, types, quantities, exceptions — nothing else.

Faster to verify

A first pass your estimator can verify fast — not just an answer fast.

Estimator-controlled

Review matches, correct exceptions, add misses, approve the output.

Fits the handoff

Structured quantities that drop into your existing quoting workflow.

Reads the documents your estimator reconciles.

What goes in

Reflected ceiling plans

Vector or scanned, any sheet count — rotated sheets included.

Lighting fixture schedules

Base types, lengths, variants, and EM tags — read even when the schedule is messy.

Revised sets and addenda

Changes surfaced. Work your estimator already reviewed stays reviewed.

What comes out

Counts by type and sheet

Every detected location reviewable on the plan before anything exports.

Variants, separated

Structured CSV

Quantities ready for the quoting workflow. No re-typing.

Marked-up PDF

The count, shown on the plan, ready for the customer.

The questions an estimator actually asks.

What does Synthspec do today?
Synthspec helps turn reflected ceiling plans and lighting fixture schedules into a structured fixture takeoff. It extracts schedule information, counts fixtures by type, and provides a workflow for reviewing, correcting, and exporting the result.
Does Synthspec replace an estimator?
No. Synthspec handles repetitive first-pass work and helps organize the result. An experienced estimator remains responsible for reviewing the project, resolving exceptions, and approving the takeoff.
How accurate is it?
Performance varies with drawing quality, notation, project complexity, and fixture type. During the walkthrough, we evaluate Synthspec on a completed project supplied by your team and measure the reviewed result — including correction time and errors that could materially affect the bid.
What files do you need?
The workflow is designed around PDF reflected ceiling plans and lighting fixture schedules. Exact file requirements and supported conditions are confirmed during the walkthrough.
What happens when a drawing is unclear?
Your estimator reviews and corrects uncertain or incorrect results in the product. Your feedback helps us improve how these cases are detected and handled.
How is our project data used?
Drawing sets and project data are stored isolated per customer, with access controls, and never shared across customers. Data-use terms — storage, retention, deletion, and any model-training use — are set out in our agreement before you upload anything, and we're happy to walk your team through them first.
What does it cost?
Pricing is scoped with each team before kickoff — scope, success criteria, and support agreed together during the walkthrough.
