FAQs

Still have questions?

What are technical submittals?

Technical submittals are designs, drawings, documents, details of materials, mock-ups, or samples created by the contractor and presented to the owner or architect to get approval. They are used to demonstrate that proposed plans and materials match the details in the construction contract.

Why are construction submittals required?

Well-written and documented construction submittals are required to define the project and its goals for everyone on a construction project. Providing details of the project and evidence that the project meets standards and specifications, they can help minimise errors, reduce rework and ensure issues that arise can be resolved quickly. The intention of this process is to ensure a project is delivered to specifications.

What documents are required in construction submittals?

The information presented in a submittal can come in several different forms, including but generally include drawings, designs, blueprints, diagrams, schedules, product data, meeting minutes, specifications, materials being used, and component information.

What are the steps for construction submittals?

Once submitted, a construction submittal usually needs some kind of response, such as approval, revision, resubmission, or rejection. Once approved, a submittal is released for authorised delivery of a project. Tracking this process in one platform like Zutec speeds up the process, meaning contractors can have more control. If handled correctly, submittals can be part of the handover and permanent record of a project, which is easier if all documents are in one place.
