Submittal review at scale

Submittals arrive every week, each one checked by hand against a spec nobody has time to reread.

Each submittal is linked to the elements it covers and the clauses that govern them. Criad checks the proposed product against the clause and the space it has to fit, and shows the reviewer what passes, what fails and what the spec does not say. Approve once, and every unit of that product updates.

Every answer cites its source. People decide.

How it works

Ask. Inspect. Verify. Publish.

1

Ask

A plain-language question.

"Does this submittal comply, and where is it going?"
2

Inspect

The full blast radius, on the model.

Every position the product is going into, on the model, with the space around it.
3

Verify

Checked against the governing drawings and specs.

The product is checked against the spec clause and measured against the space it has to fit. Gaps in the spec are listed, not guessed.
4

Publish

A dashboard, report or register, citations attached.

A review sheet per submittal and a live register: status, clause by clause result, reviewer and date.
Worked example

One job, start to finish.

Values come from a structured reference campus, not from a client project.

Reference campus
  1. 01

    Reference campus: one electrical cabinet product, 96 positions across 6 halls.

  2. 02

    The spec allows a depth of 0.92 m. The submitted product measures 0.90 m: pass.

  3. 03

    One approval updates all 96 cabinets.

  4. 04

    The register shows what is still open, and what each open item is waiting on.
