SpecDot puts every material selection, client approval, and allowance directly on your construction plans — creating a documented, timestamped record of every decision.
No more email threads. No more spreadsheets. No more "I never approved that."
The problem
When there's no paper trail, builders eat the cost of miscommunication — and client relationships suffer.
Clients forget what they approved — "I thought we picked the other tile"
Allowances tracked in spreadsheets with no connection to the actual plan
Product specs scattered across email threads, texts, and sticky notes
Change orders turn into disputes because nothing was documented
The solution
SpecDot gives builders a single source of truth — a visual, documented record of every material selection that both you and your client can see in real time.
Click anywhere on your blueprint to place a color-coded dot by category
Each dot tracks the product, price, allowance, and variance automatically
Clients approve selections directly in the app — every decision is timestamped
Generate professional change order PDFs with one click
Features
Every feature in SpecDot was designed around how custom home builders and remodelers actually work.
Upload any PDF blueprint. Your client views it in the browser — no software, no downloads, no friction.
Click anywhere on the plan to place a dot. Color-coded by category — Flooring, Plumbing, Electrical, Cabinets, and more.
Require sign-off on specific selections. Clients approve or reject from their own dashboard. Every decision is logged with a timestamp.
Set an allowance per dot. SpecDot automatically calculates overage (with markup) or underage (with refund) — no more manual math.
Select any dots and generate a professional change order PDF with your logo, line items, variance summary, and signature line — in one click.
Browse curated collections from preferred suppliers. Add products directly to your personal catalog and pre-fill dots with real specs and pricing.
How it works
No onboarding calls. No implementation fees. Just sign up and start dotting your plans.
Add your project details and upload your PDF blueprint — any page count, any size.
Click anywhere on the plan to drop a dot. Choose the category, add the product, set the price and allowance.
Send your client an email invite. They activate their account and view the plan — no app download needed.
Clients approve selections, message you on each dot, and you generate change orders — all in one place.
