A Better Way to Manage Construction Submittals
Submittals are a necessary part of every construction project. Managing them shouldn’t mean chasing emails, sorting through spreadsheets, or trying to figure out who owns the next step.
RedTeam Construction Management Software makes the entire submittal process easier by giving your team one place to build the log, manage workflows, track reviews, and see exactly what needs to happen next.
And we’re continuing to improve the process.
For existing RedTeam software users, the new submittals experience offers faster setup, clearer ownership, and a more streamlined way to manage the entire workflow.
Construction Submittal Management Made Easier
For general contractors, effective submittal management comes down to a few things: clear ownership, consistent workflows, easy access to documents, and visibility into what needs attention.
The RedTeam experience brings those pieces together.
See Who Owns the Next Submittal Action
Every submittal lives in a centralized log where your team can search, sort, filter, group, and customize the information they need.
The “ball-in-court” column makes ownership especially clear by showing who is responsible for the next action.
Instead of asking, “Where does this project stand?” your team can see it at a glance.
Standardize Your Construction Project Workflows
Set a default workflow for your project. New submittals can then move through the right submission and review steps without manual setup.
You can rename and reorder review steps, add as many as your project requires, and copy workflows across multiple submittals.
That means less repetitive setup and a more consistent process across the project.
Build Your Submittal Log Faster
You don’t have to start every register from scratch.
RedTeam gives you three ways to build your log:
- Extract from a specification book to identify submittal requirements and organize them by specification section.
- Import from another project when you’re working from similar project requirements.
- Add items manually when you need complete control.
When using specification extraction, you can review each identified requirement alongside the source document before adding it to your log.
Keep Documents, Reviews, and Responses Connected
Files from you and the submitter are combined into a single document for review.
Reviewers can apply their response, while the submittal manager can finalize the official response, distribute it, and track receipt acknowledgment.
Comments and document conversations stay with the submittal project, and you can tag teammates when you need their input. Confidential comments can remain internal to your company.
Keep Submittals Moving
You can configure reminders around submission and review due dates, helping your team stay ahead of items that need attention.
The result is a more connected process from submission through final response, with less manual tracking.
What’s New for RedTeam Users?
If you’ve used the legacy submittals experience, the new experience changes how you set up and manage the process.
Here are the biggest differences to know:
Team members now drive submittal assignments.
Add anyone who needs to participate in a submission or review to the project’s Team Members tab first. This includes subcontractors, architects, engineers, owners, and other project participants.
Simplified access levels.
The new experience uses five access levels—None, Viewer, Coordinator, Manager, and Administrator—to control what people can see and do with the project and reduce errors.
Reusable submittal workflows.
Set a default workflow for the project and reuse workflows across multiple submittals.
A submittal log built for visibility.
Search, filter, sort, group, and customize your view while keeping the next action visible.
Faster specification-based submittal setup.
Upload a specification book and let RedTeam identify potential submittal requirements for you to review and confirm.
The goal isn’t simply to give you a new submittal tool. It’s to make a process your team already relies on easier to set up, manage, and keep moving.
How to Enable the New Submittal Experience with RedTeam
The new experience is enabled at the project level, so you can introduce it on new projects while keeping projects already using the legacy experience where they are.
Review a few requirements before making the switch. These include project status, existing submittals, access, and the fact that the change cannot be undone.

Construction Management Software That Keeps Improving
Your construction software should keep getting better, not make your team adapt to the same problems year after year.
That’s the approach behind RedTeam Construction Management Software.
We continually improve the workflows that matter to contractors, with the goal of making project management more connected, more efficient, and easier for the people managing construction projects every day.
If you’re evaluating construction management software or looking for a construction project management software alternative to platforms like Procore or Autodesk Construction Cloud, see how RedTeam can help your team manage more of the project in one place.
