Submittal
Product data, shop drawings and samples the contractor sends for the architect’s review after award.
After the contract is awarded, the contractor submits product data, shop drawings and samples to show that what they will install meets the spec. The procedures are set in 01 33 00 Submittal Procedures.
A submittal is not a substitution. Proposing a different product at this stage usually needs a separate substitution request.
Why it matters to manufacturers
Good submittal support keeps your product on the job after award. The decision about which product gets bid is usually made earlier.
