Construction Submittal Form
A shop drawing emailed as "Rev3_FINAL_v2.pdf" doesn't tell an architect which revision they're actually looking at, or whether it's already been rejected once. Collect what your project actually needs, submittal details, the product data, and a review status, before material gets ordered off an unapproved spec.
Submittals tend to move around a project as email attachments, a PDF here, a sample photo there, a spec sheet forwarded three times under three different file names. Nobody's entirely sure which version is the one an architect actually reviewed last, and it's not unusual for a contractor to order material based on a submittal that was technically still pending. A review comment gets buried in a reply all thread and never makes it back to the sub who actually needed to see it.
Typeform's construction submittal form asks for what your project actually needs, submittal number and spec section, the product data or shop drawing itself, and the specific item it applies to, then uses conditional logic to branch from there. A resubmittal can reference the original submittal number and revision history, and a submittal that needs a physical sample rather than just a document can route to a different set of fields. Every submittal lands in one record with its own status, instead of a file named "final" that isn't.
Connect the form to your project management software through Zapier, and a new submittal can route straight to the right reviewer and log itself against the spec section automatically. Ask for it against a submittal schedule built into your project timeline, and your team can catch a rejected submittal with enough lead time to resubmit, instead of finding out material's that are already on order for something that was never actually approved.
A construction submittal form is an online form contractors and subcontractors use to submit product data, shop drawings, or samples to an architect or engineer for review, along with the spec section and item it applies to. Instead of a PDF circulating by email, each submittal lands as its own record with a status attached.
Submittals sent as email attachments depend on everyone keeping track of file names and reply threads to know which version is current, and that breaks down fast on a project with multiple revisions. A form logs each submittal with its own number and status, so there's no guessing which file is the latest one.
Ask for what your project will actually need to review the submittal:
- Submittal number and spec section
- Project name and contractor or subcontractor information
- Product data, shop drawings, or samples
- Item or location it applies to
- Review status and reviewer comments
Not necessarily. A submission starts the review process, it doesn't complete it, and material shouldn't be ordered or installed until the architect or engineer has actually signed off. Confirm the review status before treating a submittal as approved.
Yes. Add a file upload question and contractors can attach shop drawings, product data sheets, or photos of a physical sample in the same submission, no separate email required. Pair it with conditional logic so the upload fields match what that particular submittal actually needs.
