Process submittals with 3 clicks. The sub-contractor and/or contractor enters the submittal; the architect reviews and forwards it to the appropriate consultants and owner reviewers. The design team reviews the submittal, then returns it. The submittal administrative process must be collaborative, automated, and fast. We all know how complex submittals can get – submissions, reviews, approvals, revisions, updates, documents, consolidations, printing, emails, printing transmittals, copying, shipping, and a lot of time monitoring the flow of information. When submittals are processed by hand, most of the submittal administrative time is completely non-productive and certainly does not add value to the project. Automation is called for, and AEC-Sync makes the process fast and collaborative while drastically reducing paper submittals.

Of course not all submittals will be done with three clicks. In some cases you will mark-up documents online, cross reference to specifications/construction documents and generate a request for change. Before forwarding (or printing for your less technically inclined partners), maybe you will update the due date, or add clarification sketches as PDFs.

With AEC-Sync, there is no need to print, copy, collate, fax, e-mail, courier, or just plain drive them over to the job site. AEC-Sync will reduce your submittal review time by 50% -- at least. We provide a structured work flow, with all submittal information controlled and contained inside AEC-Sync. No more lost emails, wasted copies taking up shelf space (or floor space), and project members working on old versions of documents.

Collaboration is the key for streamlined submittals. Since all project members and submittal documentation are managed in AEC-Sync, submittals through rapidly. No more chaotic free-for-all.
