Approval Submissions for Architecture Projects

Submission work leaves a long paper trail. Every set lodged, every query raised and every reply sent is dated and kept with the project it belongs to.

What a submission record holds

The authority

The body the set went to, the office it was lodged at and the clerk who received it.

The set lodged

The drawings and revisions submitted, with the forms, owner papers and copies that went in the same file, so a reprint can be made from the record alone.

Fees paid

What your office paid at the counter, and the receipt kept against it.

Queries raised

Each query the authority put, the drawing it touched and the date it reached you.

Replies sent

The reply your office made, the revised sheets that went with it and who carried them.

Who handles a submission

Liaison staff carry the file and record what happened at the counter. The project architect prepares the sets and answers the drawing queries. A principal reads how long a submission has been lying with the authority and what the last movement on it was, without calling the person who carried the file. Partners sign what has to be signed.

What the record is used for

Query turnaround

Queries open with each authority, with the days each one has been pending.

Drawing links

A query that leads to a revision is linked to that revision in the register.

Stage closure

The submission stage closes on the record of what was lodged. Dates do the talking.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does it submit drawings online for us?

No. Your staff lodge the set as they do today, and the system keeps the record of what went and when.

Can more than one authority be tracked on a project?

Yes. Each body has its own submission list, queries and replies under the same project.

Are the submitted sets stored?

Uploads sit against the submission. Whether the files stay here or on a cloud drive is decided with you.

What about fire, water and power clearances?

They are held as separate submissions with their own queries. Which ones apply to a building is for your office and the client’s advisor.
