⭐ What Contractors Say

MEP contractors love MEPSub

From estimating to closeout — here's what commercial MEP subcontractors say after switching.

"

We used to spend 3–4 hours building submittal registers from spec books. MEPSub reads the PDF, pulls every product requirement, and generates the register automatically. That alone paid for the subscription in the first week.

MR
Marcus R.
Project Manager · HVAC Subcontractor, NJ
"

I was paying $499/month for Procore as a sub and using maybe 20% of it. MEPSub does everything I actually need — estimates, submittals, invoices, RFIs — and it starts free. The cost book alone with 13,000 items is something Procore never had.

DK
Danny K.
Owner · Plumbing & Fire Protection, NYC
"

Closeout used to take us two full weeks hunting manufacturer PDFs. The O&M builder finds them all automatically. We handed over a 400-page O&M package for a hospital project and the GC said it was the most organized they'd ever received.

❓ FAQ

Common questions

Everything you need to know about MEPSub before you start.

🔧 What MEP trades does MEPSub support?
MEPSub covers Divisions 21–28 of the CSI MasterFormat: fire suppression, plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration, electrical, communications, and electronic safety. Our database includes 145 spec sections with 218+ real manufacturer names, 13,177 material prices, and pre-built assemblies for common MEP configurations.
📊 How does the estimate-to-project workflow work?
Create an estimate with sections, line items, and assemblies — pull pricing from the built-in cost book or enter your own. Generate a professional PDF and send it. Track through the visual pipeline (Draft → Bidding → Approved → Awarded). When approved, convert to a project with one click — all estimate data, client info, and scope transfers automatically. Then generate invoices, POs, and transmittals directly from the project.
🤖 How does the AI work?
MEPSub uses advanced AI built specifically into MEP construction workflows. Upload a spec book — AI extracts equipment and creates submittals. Draft an estimate — AI generates scope of work and verifies pricing. Need an RFI? Describe the issue and AI drafts it professionally. The full AI chat assistant lets you ask anything — from code questions to installation troubleshooting. Three AI performance tiers available — balanced for speed, quality, and cost.
🔗 How does the GC Review Portal work?
From any submittal, click "Send for Review", enter the reviewer's email, and set an expiry. They receive a branded email with a secure link — no account required. They review materials, choose an action (Approved / Approved as Noted / Revise & Resubmit / Rejected), add comments, and submit. You're notified instantly with the full response recorded.
🚐 Does MEPSub include field service management?
Yes — full field service suite. Dispatch board, work orders, technician management, PM schedules, customer asset tracking, recurring jobs, and customer & vendor portals. Technicians get a mobile-first view with assigned jobs — log time, capture photos, collect digital signatures. Field Service is available on Starter and above. Additional tech seats are $15/tech/mo beyond plan limits.
📱 Does it work on mobile?
Yes. MEPSub is a Progressive Web App (PWA) — install it on your phone from the browser and it works like a native app. Full touch-optimized interface with 44px touch targets, bottom navigation, and the ability to create estimates, manage submittals, browse the cost book, and send invoices from the jobsite. Works on iOS and Android.
💰 Can I switch plans or cancel?
Yes. Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time from your billing settings. No contracts, no cancellation fees. If you cancel, you keep access until the end of your billing period. The Free plan is always available — no credit card needed to start.
