Buildertrend Plans & Specs: Upload Plans, Manage Revisions, and Link Them to Selections

Nov 11, 2026
 

Keeping everyone on the current set of drawings is one of the hardest parts of running a job. In this video, Nick from Oakvale Homes & Development walks through how we use Plans and Specs in Buildertrend on a real renovation project, from organizing plan sets to handling revisions without losing our markups.

What's covered:
• Organizing plan sets: architectural plans, design drawings, and construction drawings in one place
• Using the plan viewer to mark up and measure directly on a sheet
• Uploading a revised sheet and matching it to the existing page with Buildertrend's AI-suggested matches
• Importing a full updated drawing set and reviewing each sheet: current vs. incoming vs. comparison view
• Linking plans and specs to a selection so the drawings sit right next to the choice and its price
