Keep Your Team Moving with the Submittal Engine
A lot of construction delays do not start with a blown schedule, they start with a missing PDF. Here at State Building Products, we’ve seen how quickly a steel framing order can slow down when submittals are incomplete or specs are scattered across emails.
In this month’s blog, we’re highlighting the Submittal Engine, a simple way to package the details of your steel framing system request (products, accessories, gauges, thickness, and more) so your team can keep moving.
The Submittal Step
Submittals are basically the “paper trail” that confirms what’s being ordered and installed: product data, sizes, and the exact components needed for the build. When you’re juggling metal stud framing, structural steel framing, and accessories across multiple areas of a jobsite, it helps to have one place to enter the specs and generate a clean request.
What You’ll Want Ready Before You Start
To make the process quick, it helps to gather a few basics first. If you have these on hand, you can usually build a strong submittal without the back-and-forth.
- Project type and where the framing is being used
- Required gauges and thicknesses for your studs, track, or structural members
- Any accessories you know you’ll need
- Quantities or takeoff notes, even if they’re rough
Why Contractors and Distributors Like This Tool
The Submittal Engine covers SBP’s full product and accessory lineup and lets you send a single, organized request instead of piecing together specs from multiple threads.
