The standard submittal process for a construction project is inefficient at best, and can cripple work before it begins. Material submissions from hundreds of vendors, spanning thousands of items submitted via email, or even paper, are difficult to track. As reviews and approvals from multiple contractors and design firms get factored into a job, the submittal process can be responsible for severe project overruns. PlanGrid Submittals helps construction workers standardise the submittal process across the entire organization giving uniquely detailed insight and status of each submittal package, across a project's entire lifecycle. 
    PlanGrid, the leader in construction productivity software, announced last month a significant new product: Submittals - an easy way to manage and collaborate on the submittals process. With the release of Submittals construction projects using PlanGrid can get started instantly and significantly increase productivity throughout a construction project.
    Uploading submittal register items and assigning reviewers is simple and once complete, PlanGrid Submittals enables workers to see who is assigned tasks and what feedback they provided, if any. Communication between parties seamlessly flows from one reviewer to the next with just a click of a button and reminders are sent at the appropriate times to keep the submittal process running smoothly.
 

     Construction firms have traditionally created a submittal register log by hand, which can take weeks to prepare depending on the size of a project, and lead to inaccuracy. PlanGrid's Automatic Submittal Log fully automates this process. With an immediate list of submittal register items and combined with Submittals, construction firms now have everything they need to accelerate the submittal process. Using PlanGrid gets the designer, GC, and subcontractor on the same page so they can quickly and accurately get to work.
