## What the story says

Cleveland Construction layers Trunk Tools on its Autodesk Forma environment, using TrunkSubmittal to speed up submittal reviews for project engineers and TrunkText to search project documents without trips to the trailer.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Trunk Tools and Cleveland Construction, not ours.

> By layering Trunk Tools onto their existing Autodesk Forma foundation, Cleveland transformed a process that once took days into a same-day cycle, and gave less experienced staff the ability to produce reviews with the accuracy of colleagues years ahead of them.

- **$60K+**: “$60K+ in estimated cost savings”

> TrunkSubmittal takes a PE or APM with little to no experience in the industry and gives them five-plus years of experience to work with.
