Get Mn Construction Plan Submittal Form 2023-2025

Submittal items include schedules, meeting minutes, product data, shop drawings, test data, product samples, warranties, and operations and maintenance (O&M) data. A large project, with dozens of subs, may have 500 or more individual submittals.

Construction submittals are drawings, documents, mock-ups, or samples created by the contractor and presented to the owner or architect. They help demonstrate that proposed plans and materials match the details in the construction contract.

Submittal Definition: A submittal is composed of construction documents, shop drawings, or product samples that are turned in by a contractor to a GC, owner, architect, or engineer for approval of equipment, materials, or products before they are fabricated, delivered, installed, or used on the project at hand.

Construction submittals are documents provided by a contractor to an architect for an approval of use. The submittal log includes information provided to the architect asking for approval for certain materials and equipment before they're fabricated and sent to the project site.

Note that there are three types of product and materials specs, which means there are three corresponding types of submittals in response: Prescriptive specifications, performance specifications, and proprietary specifications.

Material's approval may be by testing or specific evaluation of the product against the specifications as stated in the Standard Specifications or Contract documents. This must be performed before the materials are incorporated into the project and should be done prior to the material's arriving on the jobsite.

An "approved" submittal authorizes quantity and quality of a material or an assembly to be released for fabrication and shipment. It ensures that the submittals have been properly vetted before final ordering. In essence, this is the final quality control mechanism before a product arrives on-site.
