Electrical submittal checklist

A free checklist for electrical contractors — and distributors who prepare submittals — to make sure every package is complete, clearly marked and ready for review the first time.

What's inside

  • A package checklist covering the cover sheet, table of contents, product data, shop drawings, compliance and deviations, supporting documents and a final check before sending
  • A cover sheet layout with every field a reviewer expects: project, specification section, submittal and revision numbers, contacts and dates
  • A deviations list for recording substitutions and the reason for each
  • A submittal log for tracking every package by specification section — sent, returned, resubmitted and approved — with long-lead items flagged

Available as an editable Word document and a spreadsheet log. Works in Microsoft Word, Excel and Google Workspace.
