Product Data
Manufacturer specifications including materials, finishes, dimensions, fire rating, thermal and moisture performance, and relevant code classifications for the exact product model.
Accurate submittals reduce delays, limit change orders, and establish an auditable record of compliance with design specifications and code requirements.
Several project stakeholders prepare, review, and rely on wall cladding submittals during design and construction phases.
Timely and correct submissions streamline approvals and reduce downstream disputes during fabrication, delivery, and installation.
Assembling the submittal package, the project manager certifies that submitted materials and shop drawings conform to contract requirements and coordinates any required field mock-ups or test reports with the manufacturer.
The manufacturer's technical representative provides product data, test certificates, and installation instructions, and signs declarations that the product meets specified ratings and warranty conditions.
