Construction Project Management Software Features - Submittals

Submittals are typically prepared by the contractor and are sent to the project representative (i.e. owner, architect, consultant) for review and approval. Examples of submittals are shop drawings, engineering data, material samples, schedules, test results, and product literature/manuals. These Submittal Items are documented in the contract documents and are part of the permanent project record. Certain submittals such as product manuals are often used later by the building owner for operational purposes.

Corecon offers free collaboration for the Submittal process.

Since many jobs are submittal driven, Corecon provides an efficient, easy-to-use submittal process to ensure adequate time for review by any party affected by the submittal item. In Corecon, it does not matter whether a contractor or subcontractor, an architect or vendor generates the submittal. Corecon automatically tracks the original author of the submittal and the names of all the companies responding.

When sending Submittals from Corecon either via fax or email, Corecon will automatically include in the message instructions for the the recipient to respond electronically using a secure collaboration site. Otherwise, a Submittal Transmittal can be printed when sending the package via mail.

Tracking Open Submittals

Corecon provides tools for the construction team to quickly identify open Submittals. In addition, Alerts and Calendar views are available to quickly get a snapshot on upcoming Submittals that require follow-up. This is especially important for long lead items such as structural steel shop drawings.
