Field PM has this exact form built in — crews fill it out from a phone, the data flows into the project record, and you get a clean PDF for the GC or owner with one click. No re-typing, no lost paperwork, no missed signatures.

Field PM
A submittal log (or register) tracks every submittal — shop drawings, product data, samples — from the subcontractor through GC and architect/engineer review to a returned status. It tells you what's outstanding, who has it, and how long it's been sitting.
It identifies who currently owes action on a submittal — the subcontractor, the GC, or the A/E. Tracking it stops submittals from stalling because everyone assumes someone else has it.
Sub #, spec section, description, submitter, submitted-to-GC and GC review deadline, submitted-to-A/E and A/E review deadline, returned date, status (approved/revise/rejected), ball-in-court, days open, and remarks.
A submittal log tracks product/material approvals against the spec; an RFI log tracks questions about the documents. They're complementary — pair this with our free RFI template.
On any commercial job, dozens of submittals — shop drawings, product data, samples — have to clear architect and engineer review before the work can proceed. A submittal log is how the GC keeps that pipeline visible: what's been submitted, who's reviewing it, when it's due back, and what's overdue.
This template tracks each submittal by spec section through both GC and A/E review, records the returned status, and flags the ball-in-court and days-open so a submittal sitting on someone's desk for three weeks doesn't quietly delay the schedule.
Logs in a spreadsheet only work if someone updates them. Field PM ties submittals and RFIs to the project so status, deadlines, and ball-in-court stay current for everyone — no stale spreadsheet on a shared drive.
