Submittal log
What is a submittal log?
An educational submittal log owner needs to answer the basic question first: a submittal log is the working list of required construction submittals, review status, due dates, responsible parties, and notes that keep the submittal process organized.
What it tracks
A useful log is more than a list of names.
The first log draft should preserve enough context to review each row. SubPro focuses on getting that first pass into a form your team can inspect before it moves into tracking.
Source context
The section, page, or surrounding note that explains why the row belongs in the project log.
Review status
The visible flag, owner, due date, or note that helps the project team decide the next step.
From definition to working draft.
SubPro turns the concept into reviewable rows with source context, not just a blank spreadsheet.
Draft rows
Rows are prepared for project review, cleanup, and handoff rather than left as disconnected notes.
Source check
The reviewer can inspect the source page behind the row and decide whether it belongs.
Submittal log FAQ
Is a submittal log the same as a submittal register?
Teams use the terms differently. In practice, both usually refer to the organized project list used to track required submittals and review progress.
Can SubPro create the first draft?
Yes. SubPro is designed to prepare a reviewable first pass from a spec set, with source context and review flags kept visible.
