Submittals are the formal review of products, materials, and shop drawings against the specifications before anything is fabricated or installed. Syntecton tracks each submittal through its review cycle, supports grouping into packages, and records every reviewer action.

Create a submittal

1

Open Submittals and create

Go to Field Execution → Submittals and click New Submittal. Choose the type — Product Data, Shop Drawing, Sample, etc.
2

Add details and the responsible sub

Enter the title, spec section, and the responsible contractor who must provide the submittal content.
3

Group into a package (optional)

Related submittals can be bundled into a Submittal Package so they move through review together and are distributed as one set.
4

Assign reviewers and start the cycle

Add reviewers (typically the architect/engineer) and submit. Each reviewer records a response such as Approved, Approved as Noted, or Revise & Resubmit.
5

Handle resubmittals

If a reviewer requests changes, create a revision. Syntecton keeps the revision history so you can see how the submittal evolved.
6

Distribute the approved set

Once approved, distribute to the field and responsible contractor so installation uses the reviewed documents.

Troubleshooting

A reviewer is holding up the package

Open the submittal’s activity to see who the cycle is waiting on, and send a reminder. Consider splitting a blocking item out of the package so the rest can proceed.
