= Introduction =

In the general sense, submittals are associated with the act of sending some type of information for consideration. Submittals are intended for the purpose of studying and evaluating information in order to reach a decision or proceed with an action.

Submittals in construction are sometimes referred to specifically as construction submittals. These are broadly defined as documents submitted by the responsible contractor to the appropriate design professional for the purpose of receiving approvals.

= Purpose of submittals =

There are three general types of submittals that take place during different stages of the project: preconstruction, construction and closeout and maintenance. The submittal process can have an impact on key aspects of a project including its overall success or failure.

Information for submittals may be provided by contractors and subcontractors to the general contractor who then presents all of this information to the designated recipient (whether that be a designer, architect, engineer or some other person tasked with granting approvals). The intention of this process is to ensure that the properly specified items (and quantities of items) are delivered to the project.

= Types of submittals =

The information presented in a submittal can be provided in several different formats including things such as meeting minutes and schedules. However, the most commonly requested submittals are provided both in written format (as shop drawings and product data) and as physical objects (as product and material samples).

== Shop drawings ==

Shop drawings, blueprints, diagrams and schedules generally relate to pre-fabricated components, showing how they should be manufactured or installed. They take design intent drawings and specifications prepared by the project design team and develop them to show in detail how the component will actually be manufactured, fabricated, assembled or installed.

They may be reviewed by the project design team prior to fabrication to verify that they comply with design drawings and specifications and to ensure that different packages of work and components are properly coordinated. This means that they need to contain relevant information to enable this to be done, which might include the provision of samples for approval. However, this does not relieve the originator of the drawings from responsibility for their correct preparation.

For more information, see Shop drawings.

== Product data ==

Product data (such as technical data, test data and operations and maintenance data) is basic information (including things such as dimensions, materials and characteristics) about products and materials that may be used. This data is meant to relay whether or not the product will meet the building requirements of the project.

Product data is also the technical information typically provided in the form of a Product Data Sheet, which summarises the performance and other technical characteristics of each construction product, material or component according to specific regulatory, market or client-specific requirements that have been incorporated in the template’s mechanism. It may also be included in cut sheets on equipment, warranty and manual documentation.

For more information, see Product Data Sheet.

== Product and material samples and mock-ups ==

Product and material samples and mock-ups have become more common requirements on construction projects as the number and complexity of goods and materials that are available and that are required for a single project has increased.

Samples might include simple items such as paint, tiles, bricks or carpets. Mock-ups are scaled-down or full-size assemblies, such as sections of cladding, window assemblies or masonry.

In some instances, a sample of a certain type of material in the fabrication process may be offered to engineers or designers to evaluate before making a final decision on its suitability for the project.

For more information, see Samples and mock-ups for construction.

= Steps in the submittal process =

These kinds of submittals - sometimes referred to as action submittals - generally require some type of response from the person (or people) with the authority to issue an action of some kind. This may come in the form of an approval, a request for revision and resubmission or a rejection. Once approved, the submittal will then release the authorised materials for production and delivery.

Timing for submittals should take into consideration several key aspects, including:

* Preconstruction. The submittal process should be clarified during the preconstruction meeting.
* Scheduling. A submittal schedule should be set early in the project to keep everything - and everyone - on track.
* Preparation. Gathering documentation for the submittal process can take a significant amount of time. Before the construction schedule is finalised, this submittal preparation phase should begin.
* Review. This process will be handled by the decision makers who will be looking at the submittal samples and documentation to determine how the components will impact each other.

If handled effectively, submittals can become part of the permanent record of the project. This can prove to be a valuable tool for facilities and operations professionals who are responsible for the management of the project once completed.
