What are construction submittals?

Construction submittals are a quality control measure using documents like shop drawings, material specifications, product data and samples that contractors submit for review and approval before materials are fabricated or installed. They help ensure products align with the project’s design intent, quality standards and compliance requirements.

How does Buildertrend help manage submittals?

Buildertrend centralizes the entire submittal process in one platform so builders can submit, review, approve and track documentation without relying on disconnected emails, spreadsheets or file-sharing tools. This helps reduce delays, improve communication and keep projects moving forward.

Can architects, engineers and suppliers review submittals without Buildertrend access?

Yes. Buildertrend allows external stakeholders to review and approve submittals without needing a Buildertrend login, making collaboration faster and easier across architects, engineers, trades and suppliers.

Why is submittal tracking important in construction?

Proper submittal tracking helps prevent costly mistakes, approval delays and installation issues by ensuring materials and products are reviewed and approved before work begins. Organized submittals also create a documented history for compliance, accountability and protection on projects and business reputation. It's an extra layer of security to ensure complex projects are thoroughly reviewed every step of the way.

How do Buildertrend Submittals connect with the rest of my project?

Buildertrend Submittals are built directly into the Buildertrend platform, allowing teams to manage approvals alongside schedules, files, project communication and daily workflows in one connected system of record.
