1. A method for generating a submittal register via a processing device, the submittal register for use in interactive construction planning and specification management, the method comprising: receiving a first file containing a plurality of construction specification documents for a construction project in a first format; converting the first file to a first file converted format; removing conversion errors from the first file in the first file converted format; applying an algorithm to the first file in the first file converted format to produce a second file; running a quality control check of the second file; applying a processing program to the second file; generating the submittal register for the plurality of construction specification documents based on the applied processing program to the second file, the generated submittal register including a plurality of elements of information for the construction project, the plurality of elements of information including project specification data and at least one drawing image for the construction project; identifying at least one hyperlink for each of the plurality of elements of information; automatically associating the at least one hyperlink with each of the plurality of elements of information and with at least one other related one of the plurality of elements of information; in response to receipt of a selection of any of the at least one hyperlink, providing at least one option to selectively access each of the at least one other related one of the plurality of elements of information; in response to the access selection, presenting the selected at least one other related one of the plurality of elements of information, wherein the applying a processing program to the second file includes applying an algorithm to identify one or more selected from a group consisting of summary text in the second file, one or more submittal categories for submittal information in the second file, and a submittal description in the second file; and associating at least two selected from a group consisting of the submittal categories, the summary text, and the submittal description with one other, wherein at least one of the associated submittal categories, the summary text, or the submittal description are searchable.
