Submittal Register Management: The 300-Item Tracking Problem Every Commercial Project Has
A medium-sized commercial project typically has 200-500 submittals — shop drawings, product data, samples, mock-ups, test reports — each requiring specific review by designers, each with its own approval state, each a potential blocker for procurement or installation. Managing the register manually breaks down past about 50 items. A disciplined submittal process with logging, routing, tracking, and escalation turns the submittal register from a source of project delay into a manageable coordination process.
