Submittal Log
A master list tracking all required submittals, their status, review dates, and approvals throughout a construction project.
What is a Submittal Log?
A submittal log is a master tracking document that lists every submittal required on a project, its current status, review dates, and approvals. It is essential for ensuring that no submittal is missed and that the project stays on schedule.
What it Tracks
- Submittal number and description
- Required date (based on the schedule)
- Submitted date
- Review status (pending, approved, revised, rejected)
- Resubmission date
- Final approval date
- Responsible subcontractor
Why it Matters
- Prevents delays from late submittals
- Provides a clear picture of submittal status
- Helps identify bottlenecks in the review process
- Required by most owners and architects
