Managing Shop Drawings and Submittals
Description
Shop drawings, submittals and samples are essential to keeping construction projects coordinated and moving. They help confirm that the right materials and equipment are reviewed, approved and delivered at the right time. But when the process is unclear, incomplete or delayed, it can create problems for contractors, trade contractors, suppliers and the project team.
This 4-hour live online course reviews the shop drawing and submittal process from start to finish. You’ll look at common contract requirements, procurement schedules, submittal logs, review procedures and practical ways to avoid mistakes that can lead to delays or confusion.
You’ll also discuss what to do when a client requests more than what is called for in the specifications, and how to better manage expectations, documentation and communication throughout the process.
