What is Submittal Kit

Build, issue, and track equipment submittals from one register instead of a folder of copies.

Submittal season usually looks like this: cut sheets scattered across ten folders, a Word cover page from the last job, and an afternoon lost to merging PDFs that are stale by the time the package goes out. Submittal Kit replaces that with one system of record.

How it fits together

Everything hangs off a simple chain:

  • Equipment Register. One list per project of every panel, instrument, and part you're furnishing. Fix a part once and it's fixed everywhere it appears.
  • Submittals. A submittal is a recipe: ordered sections like Cover, Transmittal, Equipment Schedule, and Product Data, applied to the equipment you scope into it. It isn't a folder of copies.
  • Compile. One click resolves the recipe into a bound, bookmarked PDF with your catalog numbers highlighted on every datasheet.
  • Submissions. Mark a package as submitted and it becomes a permanent record. The exact bytes you issued are kept forever, along with what the reviewer sent back.

Around that core, the same register feeds RFIs, punch lists, change orders, O&M manuals, procurement, and as-built redlines, so a project's paper trail lives in one place.
