Construction · Defined
Submittal
Product data, shop drawings, samples, or other information submitted for review under the construction documents.
Why it matters
Review status affects procurement and installation. An approved submittal does not automatically approve a cost change or transfer design and coordination responsibilities outside the contract.
In practice
A project example
A proposed fixture is accepted for technical use, but the associated price change still requires separate authorization.
