Frequently asked questions
What is a transmittal in construction?
A transmittal is a cover document that formally records which items were sent, to whom, and for what purpose, creating a paper trail for drawings, submittals, and correspondence.
How is a transmittal different from a submittal cover sheet?
A transmittal can accompany any documents being sent, while a submittal cover sheet is specific to shop drawings and product data going to the design team for review.
Why are transmittals important?
They provide proof of delivery and content, which helps resolve disputes over whether and when documents were issued or received.
