Common questions

Can I complete this Construction Transmittal online before routing it?
Yes. Add references, statuses, and required attachments in-browser before submission.
Can I save this Construction Transmittal for ongoing project tracking?
Yes. With an account, save and update it as approvals, rejections, and revisions are processed.
Can I generate a review-ready PDF from this Construction Transmittal?
Yes. Export a clean PDF for project teams, consultants, and owner records.
Is a transmittal just a cover letter?
It serves a similar purpose, but a transmittal is a formal project record. It creates an auditable trail proving that specific documents were sent to a specific person on a specific date, which matters during disputes or closeout.
Do I need a transmittal for emails?
For informal emails, no. For formal document deliveries like revised drawings, submittals, or contract documents sent by email, attach a transmittal form to the email so both parties have a numbered log entry.
How do I number transmittals?
Use a sequential number for the project, such as T-001, T-002, and so on. Some teams add a prefix for the sender, like GC-T-001 or SUB-T-001, to keep each companys transmittals in their own sequence.
Should I send a transmittal for shop drawings or just email them directly?
Always attach a transmittal. It creates a formal record of what was sent, when, and what action is required. An email without a transmittal has no tracking number and is easy to lose in a busy inbox.
