What submittal means
A submittal is a package of product data, samples or shop drawings a contractor sends for approval before ordering or building, so the owner or designer confirms it matches the plans.

Commercial and larger residential jobs run on submittals. Track each one with a date and status; late approvals are a common reason schedules slip, and the log shows whose delay it was.
