Submittal review

The subcontractor’s submittals are a key window into their thinking & understanding of the project. 

The design team’s enclosure submittal review is therefore key to ensure alignment across the entire team. 

We support the architect’s focus on aesthetics & lead the submittal technical review by:

• Reviewing the subcontractor’s preliminary design documents and drawings to ensure that their design: 

• Supports the architect’s design intent,
• Meets the performance requirements,
• Appropriately reflects the discussions held in the Design Assist phase.

• Reviewing profile, shop & fabrication drawings for each system to ensure they will appropriately transfer the design intent into the built project,

• Assisting the architect & owner to determine if substitutions are in the best interest of the project by reviewing the technical, performance & schedule impacts.

• Working with the architect & contracting team to revise the testing regime to minimize out-of-sequence work while maintaining internal visual access for testing before internal finishes installation.

Typical scope of work:

• Review shop drawings & other submittals

• Review RFI’s & substitution requests

• Review fabrication drawings

• Facilitate installation strategy & testing discussions
