Procore Superintendent Certification Procore Superintendent Submittals & Specifications 3

Question 1

How should a superintendent use Procore's submittal log during project closeout?

Accepted Answer

Verify that all required submittals have been approved and compile them into the operation and maintenance (O&M) manual for the owner

Answer

Approved submittals — especially for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing equipment — form a critical part of the O&M manual delivered to the owner at closeout.

Question 2

What is a 'product data' submittal and when is it required?

Accepted Answer

Product data is manufacturer-published information about a specific product, required when the specification calls for submittals to verify compliance with specified requirements

Answer

Product data submittals provide manufacturer's technical information — such as performance data, dimensions, and installation instructions — to demonstrate specification compliance.

Question 3

In Procore, how can the superintendent ensure a subcontractor submits their shop drawings in time to meet the installation schedule?

Accepted Answer

Set required dates on submittals in Procore tied to the project schedule so the subcontractor receives deadline notifications

Answer

Setting required dates in Procore tied to the construction schedule creates automated accountability and prevents late submittals from delaying installations.

Question 4

What is a 'mock-up' submittal and why might specifications require one?

Accepted Answer

A mock-up is a full-scale physical sample of work built on site for the design team to review quality and aesthetics before full installation proceeds

Answer

Mock-ups allow the design team and owner to review workmanship, color, texture, and quality of a specific assembly before committing to full installation.

Question 5

When a specification section lists 'submittals required,' which document in Procore should the superintendent reference to ensure every item is tracked?

Accepted Answer

The submittal log, which should include a line item for every submittal required by each specification section

Answer

The submittal log should be populated with every submittal required by the specifications so nothing is missed before the work is installed.
