Contractor Prepared Submittal Register

The Submittal Register is tailored to meet project schedules and is used as a checklist toassure all material and equipment requiring submission is submitted. A preliminary

submittal register will be submitted for approval at the preconstruction conference.Additional details will be submitted according to the construction schedule within 30 days

after Notice to Proceed.

General Submittal Procedure

Prior to submittal, all items shall be checked and approved by the QC representative and

each item shall be stamped, signed and dated by the QC representative indicating actiontaken. Submittals will include items such as: Contractors, manufacturers or fabricators

drawings; descriptive literature including but not limited to catalog cut sheets, diagrams,operating charts or tables, certifications, warranties and other such required submittals

according to the requirements of the Plans and Specifications.

The Submittal Register may not be all-inclusive and additional submittals may be required.

progress schedules will be coordinated. A transmittal form will be used for submitting both

Customer-approved and information-only submittals.

Scheduling Procedure

The Company uses software program (your software name) to assure delivery of submittals

according to requirements of (your Customer doc) and upon completion of constructionaccording to requirements of (your Customer doc).

4.0 INSPECTION SYSTEMThe engineering drawing, other technical documentation and identified critical itemsincluding key characteristics provides the requirements for all construction work. In all
