What is the purpose of a Submittal Register?

• A. To store QA test results only
• B. To log all submittals with statuses and due dates for timely review and approval
• C. To manage subcontractor payroll
• D. To track daily field temperatures

Answer: (B)

Submittal management centers on keeping every document that must be reviewed and approved organized and visible. A Submittal Register is the log that records each submittal—such as shop drawings, product data, and samples—the date submitted, the due date for review, the current status (for example, submitted, in review, approved, or rejected), and who is responsible for the review. This creates a single source of truth that supports timely reviews and approvals, helps prevent missed submittals, and provides clear status updates for project stakeholders. It’s specifically about tracking submittals and their review timeline, not about storing QA test results, payroll, or daily field temperatures.
