mbue Launches AI-Powered Submittals to Save Contractors Millions, Accelerate Project Delivery, and Free Teams for Higher-Value Work
AUSTIN, Texas — September 12, 2025 — Construction technology company mbue announced the launch of mbue Submittals, a breakthrough platform that generates fully compliant product data submittals, transforming one of construction’s most time-consuming and error-prone workflows. By automating submittals with AI, mbue enables subcontractors to cut weeks of manual work down to minutes, freeing teams to focus on higher-value tasks while reducing costly rework, delays, and backcharges.
The platform is anticipated to drive productivity by over 30% through reduced rework, fewer rejections, and labor hours redirected to higher-value work. mbue Submittals is initially focused on commercial electrical contractors, with access expanding to all subcontractors in future releases.
Leveraging mbue’s proprietary AI model and computer vision, the platform automatically extracts and analyzes product data from electrical drawings and specifications, then compiles it into a detailed, review-ready package. The result: faster approvals, earlier procurement, and smoother project execution.
“mbue Submittals removes a long-standing bottleneck for subcontractors,” said Jean-Pierre Trou, founder and CEO of mbue. “By compressing weeks of paperwork into minutes and improving the accuracy of what gets submitted, we’re giving contractors a faster, more reliable path to approval so they can focus on building, not busywork.”
With mbue Submittals, contractors can save up to 70% of the manual effort involved in preparing submittals. Built-in accuracy also reduces the likelihood of errors, leading to as much as 90% fewer rejections from reviewers. Submission cycles move 50% faster, ensuring compliance with Division 26 and other electrical requirements. These efficiency gains translate into projected savings of over 3,500 hours and ramp up revenue by $500,000+ annually on average.
Pilots are underway with leading electrical contractors, including Weifield Group, as mbue advances its mission to eliminate costly mistakes and modernize construction workflows.
“Submittals have traditionally been a painful, labor-intensive process that slows projects down.” said Garrett White, Vice President, Texas at Weifield Group. “With mbue, we’re seeing submittals completed in a fraction of the time, with greater accuracy and confidence. This is a huge step forward for the industry and directly helps us increase the amount of volume each PM can deliver, we can do more with the same team which directly contributes to our company’s revenue growth.”
“This is a paradigm shift,” added Trou. “AI isn’t replacing project managers or engineers, it’s removing blind spots and paperwork, giving contractors the speed and confidence they need to deliver.”
mbue Submittals is set to reshape documentation and compliance in construction, unlocking new standards of precision, speed, and financial performance across the industry.
