About SpecSwift

We build AI tools that make estimators faster, not obsolete.

SpecSwift was built by and for people who have sat at the bid table and watched hours disappear into project manuals. We believe the best technology doesn't replace estimating judgment — it clears the path so estimators can use it.

Our mission

Construction estimating is one of the most demanding jobs in the built environment. Estimators carry the weight of every number, every assumption, and every clause they might have missed. A single overlooked liquidated damages provision or a special inspection requirement buried in Division 01 can turn a winning bid into a financial loss.

SpecSwift exists to change that. We apply AI to the part of the bid process that takes the most time and produces the least insight: reading the spec. Our goal is simple — give every estimator on the team the same depth of spec knowledge your best senior estimator carries, in seconds instead of hours.

We're built by H. Mollenry and Co., a software company based in Dublin, Ohio, focused on practical AI tools for the construction industry.

What SpecSwift does

A purpose-built AI spec reader for construction bidding teams.

Construction-native

SpecSwift is built specifically for construction project manuals — CSI MasterFormat divisions, Division 01 general conditions, addenda, and substitution deadlines are all first-class concepts in the product.

Purpose-built AI

We use large language models trained on broad technical knowledge and prompt them with deep construction-domain context. The result is a spec reader that understands trade-specific scope, not just text.

Cited answers

Every requirement SpecSwift surfaces is tied back to a specific section and page in your spec. You can verify every finding against the source document in seconds.

How we think about product

Built for the bid table

Every feature starts with one question: does this help an estimator price the job more accurately? We build for the people at the bid table, not for demo screens.

Time is the constraint

Estimators don't have time to read hundreds of pages of front-end general conditions on a 5-day bid. SpecSwift is built around that reality — speed that doesn't sacrifice accuracy.

Accuracy over automation

AI is a tool, not a replacement for judgment. SpecSwift surfaces the requirements, flags the risks, and gives you the citations to verify every finding yourself.

Designed for teams

From a two-person estimating shop to a large GC preconstruction team, SpecSwift scales to your workflow — not the other way around.
