Our integration with Autodesk Forma Build lets construction and preconstruction teams automate the repetitive, document-heavy tasks that distract from higher-value work like submittal reviews, detecting drawing changes, bid analysis, and RFI management. Trunk Tools gives back hours every week and keeps costly mistakes from reaching the field.
Powering every agent is Cortex — the brain of construction. Built on real jobsite data, Cortex reads drawings, not just text, and connects your project data into one intelligent layer so every agent reasons with the full picture of your project.
The Trunk Tools platform of virtual workers includes:
TrunkText — Text any question about your project docs and get immediate, sourced answers. "Something that would normally take me 20 minutes, I punched it in and had it in two minutes." — Chad Gibson, General Superintendent, Cleveland Construction
TrunkSubmittal — Identify compliance gaps between submittals and specs and auto-draft trade emails to hit first-cycle approval. "We've already had architects recommend us for more work because of how we handle submittals." — Bryant Caporale, APM
TrunkReview — Detect all changes — clouded or not — across up to 2,500 sheets and receive an overlay with written narratives in minutes.
TrunkBrowse — Click any object on a sheet and see its full context: spec section, schedule row, RFIs, submittals, and every related sheet.
TrunkRFI — Eliminate duplicate and unnecessary RFIs, then auto-draft thorough, well-sourced ones when they're truly needed.
TrunkBid — Level trade partner bids, surface scope gaps, and export to Excel so estimators can award with confidence.
TrunkScope — Auto-draft scope of work documents from project specs, saving preconstruction teams weeks of manual work.
TrunkSOP — Surface the right procedure instantly so field teams can stay compliant without hunting through folders.
"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."
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.
