Question 1

What is a 'shop drawing' in the context of construction submittals?

Accepted Answer

A drawing prepared by a subcontractor or supplier showing fabrication, assembly, or installation details for a specific scope of work

Answer

Shop drawings are detailed fabrication or installation drawings prepared by subcontractors or suppliers to show how they will build or install their scope of work.

Question 2

In Procore, what is the difference between a 'submittal' and a 'submittal package'?

Accepted Answer

A submittal is a single item for review while a submittal package groups related submittals that should be reviewed together

Answer

Submittal packages in Procore allow related items — such as all submittals for a mechanical system — to be grouped for simultaneous design team review.

Question 3

What does the 'ball in court' field on a Procore submittal indicate?

Accepted Answer

Which party — contractor, subcontractor, or design team — currently has responsibility for the next action on the submittal

Answer

The 'ball in court' field prevents submittals from getting lost by always identifying the party responsible for the next action.

Question 4

When a design team approves a submittal 'with comments,' what should the superintendent do before allowing installation?

Accepted Answer

Review the comments carefully and ensure all conditions noted by the design team are incorporated into the work

Answer

'Approved with comments' means the submittal is conditionally approved; the noted conditions must be incorporated or the approval may be invalidated.

Question 5

Why is it important for the superintendent to track submittal review turnaround times in Procore?

Accepted Answer

To identify design team review delays that may entitle the contractor to a time extension under the contract

Answer

Contracts typically allow a defined number of days for submittal review; tracking turnaround times documents potential owner-caused delays for time extension claims.
