Common questions about this template

What is a submittal register used for?

A submittal register tracks packages, spec sections, responsible reviewers, due dates, approval status, revision history, and release-to-field decisions.

How is this different from a construction submittal log?

A submittal log may track individual entries. A register emphasizes package-level status, reviewer turnaround, revisions, and overdue visibility across the project.

Can this register connect to RFIs and change orders?

Yes. Submittal decisions can depend on RFI clarifications and may trigger change, delay, or field coordination follow-up.
