Submittals software built for subcontractors — not general contractors. Track shop drawings, product data, samples, and material approvals from the same mobile-first platform your crew already uses for time tracking, daily logs, and change orders. No more digging through email chains to prove what was approved on which revision.
Submittal management that protects your margin
On a typical subcontracting project, the submittal log is where money quietly leaks out. A drywall sub installs based on Revision B, the architect approved Revision C, and suddenly there is a tear-out claim with no clear paper trail. SubTrade’s submittals module gives every submittal a single source of truth — version-controlled, time-stamped, and tied to the spec section.
Spec section tagging
Tag every submittal to its CSI MasterFormat spec section so you can pull a complete spec-by-spec submittal log in seconds — for the GC, the owner, or your project closeout binder.
Due-date alerts & overdue tracking
Every submittal gets a required-by date. The system pings the responsible party in advance and flags overdue items in red so a 30-day review cycle does not blow your install schedule.
Review-cycle status
Track every submittal through Submitted, Under Review, Approved as Noted, Revise and Resubmit, or Rejected — with the full revision history attached to one record.
Packaged PDF submittal log
Export a complete, branded submittal package as a single PDF for any project — every shop drawing, product data sheet, and sample certificate, with stamps and approvals embedded.
Why subcontractors choose SubTrade for submittals
Most submittal tools are built for the general contractor’s project manager — bloated, expensive, and overkill for a 12-person electrical or HVAC crew. SubTrade’s submittal management is built around how subcontractors actually work: from the truck, on the phone, with one finger.
Will this work alongside Procore or Autodesk Build?
Yes. SubTrade is designed to live next to GC-side tools. Your crew documents and tracks submittals internally in SubTrade, and you upload the approved package to the GC’s system when required.
Do submittals link to daily logs and change orders?
Yes. If an approved submittal triggers a scope change, you can convert it into a change order in two clicks. Material delays caught in a daily log can flag the related submittal automatically.
