    Study Notes

    Lecture 6: Submittals

    • Lecture objectives include understanding submittal types and the site superintendent's role in the submittal process.
    • A submittal is a document with missing details from the Issued For Construction (IFC) drawings, needing further specification for the trade or supplier to execute the on-site work.
    • IFC drawings provide an overview; submittals provide detailed information about individual components/systems.
    • Submittals are necessary for minute-level design details to prevent delays or defects.
    • Submittals ensure a separate review.
    • Different submittal types include samples/mock-ups, data sheets/catalogue cuts, shop details, and descriptive data.
    • The related trade/supplier is responsible for preparing submittals.
    • A professional engineer usually prepares the submittal on behalf of the trade.
    • The submittal must adhere to the IFC drawings' design intent.
    • The trade/supplier should fully understand the design concept, providing details for executing the work.
    • Submittal approval flow: trade → site superintendent → contract administrator → design consultant.
    • The approved submittal supersedes the IFC drawings; the trade can only order materials after approval.
    • Submittal requirements exist for various projects; they are usually found in the "general" or "design and submission requirements" section of the project specification

    Types Of Submittals

    • 1) Sample or Mock-up: A physical representation of a construction element for approval before full-scale installation. The purpose is to demonstrate quality, appearance, and adherence to specifications.
    • 2) Data sheets/Catalogue Cuts: Detailed technical information about construction materials, products, or equipment. Used for review and approval of materials, products, or equipment before installation.
    • 3) Shop Drawings (Erection and Fabrication Drawings): Detailed drawings, diagrams, and plans illustrating how a specific component or part of a construction project will be fabricated, assembled, and installed.
    • 4) Descriptive Data: Includes job mix formula, operation and maintenance (O&M) information, schematic drawings, management plan, and schedules and performance charts, etc which detail how the work will be executed.

    Role Of The Site Superintendent In The Submittal Process

    • 1) Submittal Log Preparation: Maintaining the submittal log, keeping it updated with all submittal documentation.
    • 2) Submittal Review and Approval: Reviewing and approving all submittals before they are sent to the design consultant for review and final approval.

    Submittal Log

    • A submittal log is a record-keeping tool for listing, tracking, and managing the submittal process for all project requirements.
    • A submittal log also tracks materials ordering and delivery dates after submittal approval, as no material ordering can be done before.

    Site Superintendent's Checklist for Reviewing Submittals

    • a) General Items: Check job name, job site address, subcontractor's information, gridline and elevation references, and latest construction documents.
    • b) Constructability: Ensure installation techniques are understandable and the specifics detail interfacing with other materials, reviewed with trade foreman; tolerances reviewed with trade foreman are present.
    • c) Dimensions Check: Verify dimensions/measurements and if all required dimensions for fabrication are included.
    • d) Schedule Impacts: Lead time required from approval date to materials delivery on-site; predecessor and successor activities are noted; and required coordination with other trades to carry out the planned and needed work.

    Design Consultant's Review Of Submittals

    • Approved: Submittal is approved as is, and work can proceed.

    • Approved with changes noted: Submittal is approved with changes, and work can proceed.

    • Revise and Resubmit: Changes noted require incorporating into the submittal and resubmitting for approval.

    • Rejected: Submittal has significant errors or lacks required details, and requires a new submittal.

    • Timelines will be negotiated upfront with consultants for submittal review and approval.

    • Consultants should review and provide a signed copy of the submittal with the appropriate box checked on the stamp.

    Submittal Review Liability

    • General contractors (site superintendents) carry the primary liability for construction methods and means.
    • Design consultants are responsible for confirming submittals conform to contract documents, and not liable for errors or omissions after submittals have been approved by the site superintendent, though they may bear responsibility for failure in adequately reviewing that submittal.

    Example Submittals

    • Rebar Submittal (Shop Drawing): Includes bar bending schedules and placement drawings, based on structural drawings, aiding the placement crew in efficient installation.
    • Structural Steel Shop Drawing: Show all structural members, including beams, columns, diagonals, braces, etc., with missing connection details needing to be provided by the trade.
    • Drywall Shop Drawing: Detail brick-tie spacing and location of ties.
    • Curtain Wall Shop Drawing: Depicts layouts of curtain walls, detailing openings for doors, windows, etc., or any other structural or architectural considerations.
    • Roof Hatch Shop Drawing: Includes details of the roof hatch components, including the frame, cover, gaskets, and lifting mechanisms, with dimensions.
    • Concrete Work Submittal: Needs details of concrete mix ratio, material information, slump, water-cement ratio, air content, etc., to be approved by the contractor and structural engineer.
