Start free. No credit card required.
Built for Submittal coordinators, project engineers, designers and trade contractors.Use it when the construction submittal record must keep its owner, dates, evidence, exceptions, and next decision connected.Add a specification field, completeness gate, parallel review, disposition, response target, procurement handoff, or aging view.
What this team needs to control
Plan, submit, review, revise, approve, distribute, and release procurement or installation against required dates.
Construction submittal software should connect each package requirement to the planned submission, responsible subcontractor, reviewer, required approval date, current revision, disposition, procurement release, and affected schedule milestone. The objective is not document storage; it is timely approval and usable distribution.
The records behind the result
Keep every construction submittal record connected from first update to final decision
Submittal register, review cycle, and release and distribution stay together so this team can see status, impact, evidence, responsibility, and the next action.
Review cycle
Revision, submitted date, reviewers, response due, comments, disposition, returned reason, resubmission, and approval.
Release and distribution
Approved revision, recipients, procurement release, fabrication or delivery status, affected milestone, and evidence.
How the work moves
How the construction submittal record moves from start to finish
Keep the owner, dates, comments, attachments, decisions, and exceptions attached while the construction submittal record moves through this four-step path.
- 1Build the submittal register from packages and required dates
- 2Receive a complete submission and route reviewers
- 3Record comments, disposition, revision, and resubmission
- 4Distribute the approved item and release dependent work
Change the construction submittal record without waiting for a coded release
- Bring submittal register, review cycle, release and distribution into one application for Submittal coordinators, project engineers, designers and trade contractors.
- Set ownership, due dates, and rules as the team works to record comments, disposition, revision, and resubmission.
- Let project administrators add the fields, roles, reminders, filtered views, and dashboards that support submittal requirements visible before they become late.
- Give reviewers a direct path to the submittal register or release and distribution whenever they investigate approved revisions distributed with traceability.
Keep document-platform authority where submittal files and markup demand it
Use specialist construction document or BIM platforms when native drawing markup, model links, broad external collaboration, contractual transmittals, or common data environment governance are required.
A practical no-code difference
Configure submittal rules around each package and reviewer chain
Add a specification field, completeness gate, parallel review, disposition, response target, procurement handoff, or aging view.

FAQs
Questions about this use case
What is submittal management software?
Construction submittal software should connect each package requirement to the planned submission, responsible subcontractor, reviewer, required approval date, current revision, disposition, procurement release, and affected schedule milestone. The objective is not document storage; it is timely approval and usable distribution.
What should submittal management software include?
A useful system connects submittal register, review cycle, release and distribution. For submittal requirements visible before they become late, the team should be able to open the responsible project, location, party, dates, evidence, impact, and action.
Can Jodoo be used for submittal management software?
Jodoo is a strong fit when Submittal coordinators, project engineers, designers and trade contractors need to configure the construction submittal record around their own delivery process. Add a specification field, completeness gate, parallel review, disposition, response target, procurement handoff, or aging view. That team can maintain the related forms, roles, reminders, filtered views, and dashboards as the construction submittal record evolves.
Keep document-platform authority where submittal files and markup demand it
Use specialist construction document or BIM platforms when native drawing markup, model links, broad external collaboration, contractual transmittals, or common data environment governance are required.
How should a construction team evaluate this application?
Test one normal case and one late, blocked, rejected, over-budget, or incomplete case from build the submittal register from packages and required dates through distribute the approved item and release dependent work. Confirm that submittal requirements visible before they become late and approved revisions distributed with traceability can be traced to the submittal register, supporting evidence, and responsible owner.

Next Step
Test one real construction submittal record from first update to closeout
Open the live Jodoo app with one current project. Test “Build the submittal register from packages and required dates” through “Distribute the approved item and release dependent work,” then add one late, blocked, rejected, over-budget, or incomplete case before adapting fields, roles, reminders, views, and dashboards.
