AWI 100 - Submittals
3.2 Manufacturer Supplier Responsibility
a) Submittals shall be provided to the general contractor, design professional, and/or owner for review prior to fabrication. Submittals are the intellectual property of the manufacturer/supplier.
b) The manufacturer/supplier is encouraged to make technical suggestions and raise questions with the design professional. Changes and/or substitutions incorporated into shop drawings do not constitute a request for approval. Changes to material and/or design must be specifically identified within the submittal package. The manufacturer/supplier must then request approval of the suggested changes by submitting a formal request for approval. Means and methods of manufacturing, such as joinery details, are not considered material changes unless otherwise detailed in the specifications.
c) Descriptions of substitutions and/or change requests from contract requirements shall be itemized separately from the shop drawings and shall be submitted no later than the time of shop drawing submittal. Descriptions of substitutions shall include notation of the reason for the change request and a statement of the anticipated impact to schedule, cost, and possible impact to other trades.
d) The manufacturer/supplier shall show each component of Product in plan, elevation, and section view as needed to clearly indicate the Product being provided, its location, and its method(s) of construction and attachment. The manufacturer/supplier shall illustrate wall or ceiling-applied surfacing and/or standing and running trim, wall mounted shelf standards, door and window frames, and the attachment methods.
3.2.1 Cover or Title Sheet
a) A cover or title sheet is required and shall include the following as applicable: project name, address, specified AWI grade, and scope.
b) Each drawing set shall indicate the aesthetic and performance grade, duty level, and include a list of contact information, including phone numbers and email addresses of the design professional firm, general contractor, manufacturer/supplier, installation firm (if other than manufacturer/supplier), and finisher firm.
3.2.2 Table of Contents
a) The table of contents shall list all items in the manufacturer/supplier’s submittal package including the following:
b) Page number and title of each shop drawing; list of materials, hardware, and schedule that includes manufacturer/supplier’s name and model number; and description of each type of finish sample submitted.
3.2.3 Drawings, General
a) Shop drawings and sample submittals may also serve as a guide for other trades.
b) Typical drawings and universal minimum scale for drawings.
View | Ratio | Scale |
---|---|---|
Reference Plan | 1:50 | 6.4 mm [.250"] = 305 mm [12"] |

Sections | 1:10 | 38.1 mm [1.50"] = 305 mm [12"] |
Details | 1:4 | 76.2 mm [3"] = 305 mm [12"] |
c) Drawing sheets shall be a minimum of 279 mm x 432 mm [11" x 17"] and a maximum of 610 mm x 914 mm [24" x 36"]. Each sheet shall be sequentially numbered and dated. Drawings may be formatted as PDF electronic submittals.
d) Shop drawings shall be submitted for review and approval to the general contractor for submittal to the design professional.
e) Individuals tasked with review of shop drawings should be familiar with Product fabrication and have an understanding or working knowledge of the referenced
standard as well as the design concept. If not submitted electronically, two printed copies are required for review. After review, one marked copy shall be returned to the general contractor or manufacturer/supplier within 10 days.
f) The four common levels of approvals and corresponding actions are as follows:
Review Stamp | Action |
---|---|
Approved Approved as Noted |
Design professional keeps one marked copy, returns a marked set to the manufacturer/supplier through the general contractor, and requests the required number of final copies. Proceed with production. |
Revise and Resubmit | Design professional returns one set requesting correction and re-submittal and keeps one copy to check against re-submittal. Manufacturer/supplier revises as noted and resubmits for approval before proceeding with production. |
Rejected | Do not proceed with production. Meet to determine modifications to be made to gain approval, then resubmit. |
g) Reviews of submittals by the general contractor indicated as "Reviewed," "Reviewed for General Conformance," "No Exceptions Taken," or with similar language or notes
shall be considered "Approved" or "Approved as Noted."
