Submittal tracking lives in too many places. Cover pages sit in one folder, product data in email attachments, spec sections in a shared drive, and the master log in a spreadsheet someone forgot to update. Reliance on email, spreadsheet logs, and manual hard-copy forms for document-intensive projects is inefficient.
Contract specifications typically allow two to three weeks per review cycle. On a long-lead item, that delay can slip equipment delivery, compress installation, and threaten commissioning. Errors and omissions in contract documents have topped the list of construction dispute causes over the years. Packages stall on administrative overhead before technical review begins.
