What happened
Torcon used TrunkText for source-backed Q&A over project documentation and TrunkSubmittal to speed up compliance reviews of submittals, across two active projects in a pilot. Project engineers, PMs, and superintendents use them to find project information quickly and review submittals.
Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Trunk Tools and Torcon, not ours.
- ~43.5 minutes“64 submittal reviews completed with ~43.5 minutes saved per review (~46 hours)”
- 69%“Most reviews flagged non-compliant (69%) or partially compliant (30%), surfacing issues earlier”
Torcon’s two-project pilot saved 450+ hours in four months — source-backed answers from project docs plus faster submittal reviews that catch compliance issues earlier.
Trunk Tools is definitely a time saver. For the first dive into any particular topic, I’ve been using it because it takes some of the human error out of the equation.
