Submittals are required in accordance with the construction contract to assure compliance to the contract drawings and specifications.
Responsibility
The Contractor is responsible for preparing submittals for review by the Architect/Engineer. The Project Manager should review and track submittals.
Timeline
Review of submittals should be built into the schedule to allow ample time for preparation, review by owner, review by architect/engineer, potential re-review and procurement of material in time for install.
Process
As submittals are received, the Project Manager (PM) should review product and check against specifications. All concerns should be communicated with the architect/engineer. Appropriate submittals should be sent to relevant shops for review including mechanical, electrical, elevator, landscape, hardware, fire alarms and sprinklers.
The Project Manager (PM) should keep a log of submittals to document when submittals are received and sent to various stakeholders for review.
