Give your discipline leads
back their afternoons.
SpecSense catches the mechanical, high-volume checks — the missed PWHT callouts, the NACE class mismatches, the NPSH margin shortfalls — so your Principal Engineers spend their time on the judgment calls only they can make.
What actually happens on IFR week.
The review bottleneck.
Your Principal Engineers are the highest-cost, most-constrained resource on the project. IFR week piles their queue with 40 deliverables and 40 sets of comments to reconcile. Something slips.
Senior engineer time is not scalable.
You cannot hire more Chartered Engineers on 8 weeks' notice. Contract EPC scopes assume they exist. When they do not, the project either misses gate or absorbs rework cost.
Missed findings during rush.
The finding you missed at IFR becomes site rework at construction. £3k of engineering saved. £300k of site rework created. Every EPC has this scar tissue.
Slot in without changing your workflow.
SpecSense sits alongside your existing review process, not on top of it. Same discipline leads, same sign-off authority, same EDMS. We add horsepower where the mechanical checks live, and stay out of the way where judgment calls happen.
Step 01
Deliverables enter the queue.
Your engineers upload P&IDs, isometrics, datasheets, or HAZOP registers to a shared team workspace. Native formats supported (DWG, IFC, PDF, native P&ID exports).
Step 02
SpecSense runs the discipline-specific checks.
Line class, spec breaks, PMS compliance, PWHT callouts, NPSH margins, spec-to-drawing consistency — checked against the codes and design basis on the project. Findings cite clause and location.
Step 03
Discipline lead triage.
Either your discipline lead or a SpecSense Chartered Engineer (on supervised tier) triages severity, discards false positives, and signs the register. This is the human-in-the-loop moment.
Step 04
Comment register into your workflow.
Export to your template — CSV, PDF, or direct EDMS push (Aconex, ProjectWise, SharePoint EDMS on the 2027 roadmap). Findings tracked to closure alongside your existing comments.
Three high-value entry points.
Use case 01
Concept-select gate review.
Cross-discipline consistency check across the concept-select deliverable set. Line-list vs P&ID vs equipment datasheet vs HAZOP — SpecSense flags mismatches before your project manager finds them at gate.
- Cross-discipline consistency review
- Design basis alignment check
- Assumption register cross-reference
- Cost-consequence flags for missing scope
Turnaround
5–10 business days
Use case 02
IFR / IFC gate deliverable review.
The workhorse use case. Your engineers submit their gate package, SpecSense runs the mechanical checks in parallel with your discipline leads. Register closed before gate meeting.
- PWHT, NDT, spec-break checks on all lines
- NPSH, thermowell, seal plan verification
- Support locations vs stress node consistency
- Instrumentation vs P&ID cross-check
Turnaround
48–72 hours
Use case 03
Close-out audit preparation.
Client-side EPC review or handover audit. SpecSense produces the pre-audit finding register so your team knows exactly where the client will push back. No surprises in the meeting.
- As-built vs IFC consistency check
- MOC register cross-reference
- Pre-empted client comment register
- Documented rationale for design choices
Turnaround
10–15 business days
£1,500–5,000 / month
