Our integration with Autodesk Forma Build lets construction and preconstruction teams automate the repetitive, time-intensive, manual, document-heavy tasks that are critical to the project but distract from higher-value work like submittal reviews, detecting changes in drawing sets, bid analysis, and RFI management. Trunk Tools gives back to project teams hours every week and keeps costly mistakes from reaching the field.
The Trunk Tools platform of virtual workers includes:
TrunkText Text us any question about your project documentation and get immediate answers with sources highlighted so your team can spend more time walking the job and less in the trailer. "Something that would normally take me 20 minutes or more to thumb through and find what I needed, I punched it in and I had it in two minutes. Exactly what I needed." — Chad Gibson, General Superintendent, Cleveland Construction
TrunkSubmittal Quickly identify compliance gaps between submittals and specs and auto-draft emails to your trades to ensure submittals are approved by the architect on the first cycle. "We've already had architects recommend us for more work because of how we handle submittals." — Bryant Caporale, Assistant Project Manager
TrunkReview Detect all changes — clouded or not — in drawing revisions up to 2,500 sheets and receive an overlay and written narratives in minutes so you can coordinate with trades and get a head start on any required change orders.
TrunkRFI Avoid submitting unnecessary and duplicate RFIs already answered in your project docs or previous RFI responses so you can avoid delays or uncomfortable exchanges with the design team. Automatically draft thorough and well sourced RFIs when truly necessary.
TrunkBid Analyze and level trade partner bids with clear insight into scope gaps and export to Excel so your estimators can make informed decisions faster.
TrunkScope Save your preconstruction teams weeks of work with auto-drafted scope of work documents based on project specifications.
TrunkSOP Instantly surface the right procedure for any situation and give your field teams the answers they need to stay compliant, without hunting through folders or waiting on the office.
""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. It drives efficiency, catches things some of our most senior PM staff don't look for, and ensures we aren't just passing paper to the architect to review. If we didn't trust it, we wouldn't use it." — Elliot Christiansen, SVP of Operations, Cleveland Construction"
Cleveland Construction used Trunk Tools with Autodesk Forma to cut submittal review times from days to hours — saving 790+ hours and $60K+ across four projects.

Torcon partnered with Trunk Tools to help project teams access critical project information faster and streamline document-heavy workflows. With thousands of pages of drawings, specifications, RFIs, and submittals spread across multiple systems, finding the right answer often meant time-consuming manual searches that pulled teams away from the field.
