Parspec is an AI-powered platform built for the construction industry's mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) trades. Founded by Forest Flager and Pratyush Havelia - both with roots at Stanford - the company brings together technologists and construction industry veterans to digitize and organize construction product data at scale.
The platform serves distributors, manufacturers, and sales agents who have historically spent days manually combing through product specifications. Parspec addresses this through three core capabilities:
- Product Finder: Searches digitized product data to identify spec-compliant alternative products quickly.
- Quoting: Streamlines bid creation and quoting workflows to accelerate the sales cycle.
- Submittals automation: Automates the creation of construction submittals, reducing work that previously took days to a matter of minutes.
The technical stack spans AI and machine learning, search and information retrieval, spec-compliant product matching, and workflow automation - applied specifically to the domain of construction product specifications. The platform is designed to help customers bid on more jobs, win more often, and operate more efficiently across the MEP trades.
