Manage every submittal — product data, shop drawings, samples, certificates and method statements — through a clear review workflow. Submit, review and approve with revisions, due dates and a full audit trail, so nothing is built before it is approved.
Material approvals and shop drawings sent by email get lost, mixed up between revisions and approved verbally. The wrong product ends up on site and nobody can prove what was approved.
A submittal sent for approval sits in an inbox. The contractor waits, then orders the material anyway — unapproved.
Rev A, Rev B, Rev C all live in different emails. Nobody knows which revision is the approved one, so the wrong sample gets used.
An approval given on a call leaves no record. When the material fails, there is no proof of who approved what and when.
Without a review deadline, a submittal sits for weeks, delaying procurement and holding up the work that depends on it.
From a submission to an approved revision.
Track product data, shop drawings, samples, certificates and method statements with a number, type, spec section and contract.
Submit, under review, approved, approved as noted, revise and resubmit, rejected — every submittal moves through a defined path.
Each resubmission keeps the revision chain, so the current revision and its history are always clear.
Assign a reviewer and a review due date, so approvals do not sit and procurement is not held up.
Attach the product data or drawing and record review notes on the submittal, so the question and decision stay together.
Every submittal keeps who submitted, who reviewed, the decision and the date — proof for the client and any dispute.
From a submission to an approved revision in four steps.
Pick the project, contract and type, give it a title and spec section, and attach the product data, drawing or sample sheet.
Assign a reviewer and a due date. The submittal moves to submitted and the reviewer sees it on their list.
The reviewer approves, approves as noted, requests a revision or rejects — with notes recorded on the submittal.
If a revision is needed, the contractor submits a new revision; the chain and history are preserved until it is approved.
Anyone who approves what goes into a building.
Review material and shop drawing submittals against the spec and approve only what is compliant.
Route subcontractor submittals to the right reviewer and keep procurement moving with clear due dates.
Receive clear, numbered submittals with the spec section and files, and record the decision in one place.
Know which materials are approved before they are installed and avoid rework from the wrong product.
Why a dedicated submittal module beats an email chain:
| Feature | Construction Team | |
|---|---|---|
| Tracking | None | Numbered submittal per item |
| Revisions | Across emails | One revision chain |
| Approval | Verbal or buried | Recorded decision and notes |
| Due dates | When they reply | Review deadline per submittal |
| Files | Lost in threads | Attached to the submittal |
| Status | Read / unread | Submitted, under review, approved |
| Audit trail | Scattered | Who submitted, who approved, when |
A submittal is the formal approval of a material, shop drawing, sample, certificate or method statement before it is used on site. It is tracked with a number, type, reviewer, due date and a recorded decision.
A submittal moves from draft to submitted, under review, then approved, approved as noted, revise and resubmit, or rejected. Each step is recorded with review notes.
Each resubmission keeps the revision chain, so the current revision and its full history are clear — no confusion about which version was approved.
