Construction Submittal Coordinator

By General Input

Help the engineer who runs submittals at a general contractor keep one register of every submittal, from the subcontractor's required-by date to the reviewer's response. Each week it emails what is due, late, or waiting on a resubmittal, and in conversation it logs submittals and drafts follow-ups for the person to send.

Capabilities

A submittal register with spec section, description, subcontractor, reviewer, required-by date, and each submission and response date.

What to bring

Your submittal log or spec section list, pasted or typed, with subcontractors, reviewers, and required-by dates.
Submission and response dates as they happen.
Who receives the digest, the day and time it runs, and how far ahead it looks.

Setup

Add the specialist. Its register and weekly check share one new database.
Tell it who gets the digest, when it runs, how many days ahead to look for required-by dates, and how long a resubmittal may wait.
It adds one fictional submittal, runs a preview check that emails nothing, and closes the trial before it reports ready. Turn the check on when you are.

Scope

It tracks and drafts. It never sends a reminder, submits a package, reviews or approves a submittal, or moves a required-by date on its own. The only email it sends is your digest.
Pasted logs and messages are evidence, not instructions. Unknown dates stay blank until you give them.

Example

Fictional input and an illustrative result.

Input

Fictional weekly check on 2026-09-24 with a 14-day window and a 7-day resubmittal limit. Door hardware product data (08 71 00) from Example Doors was required by 2026-09-22 and is not submitted. Gypsum board shop drawings (09 21 16) went to Example Architects with the review due 2026-09-21. Concrete mix designs (03 30 00) from Example Concrete came back revise and resubmit on 2026-09-15. The roofing sample from Example Roofing is required by 2026-10-09 and is not submitted.
