Three weeks of work.
Rejected in eleven seconds.

The 42-point submittal checklist: what a reviewer looks for before you ever see the stamp, written by a structural engineer who has sat on the reviewing side of the table. Print it. Share it. Run it before every package leaves your desk.

A rejected submittal costs a second review cycle, hours of reassembly, and the schedule that was waiting on the approval. Almost every rejection on this list takes under two minutes to prevent.

42 checks, 7 stages

A · 7 CHECKS
Before you assemble

Most rejections are decided before the first page is scanned.

B · 5 CHECKS
The transmittal and cover

The first page decides the reviewer's mood for the next fifty.

C · 8 CHECKS
Product data

Can the reviewer find the specified value on your page?

D · 7 CHECKS
Shop drawings

Connections, anchors, embeds - what the EOR is actually reviewing.

E · 6 CHECKS
Cross-document coordination

The rejections that hurt most hide between documents.

F · 4 CHECKS
Deviations and substitutions

A hidden deviation costs the rejection and the trust.

G · 5 CHECKS
The last pass

Ten minutes here saves three weeks there.
