Electrical Submittal Package Checklist
Project: __________________________
Submittal #: ____________________
Spec section(s): _________________
Date: __________________________
1 · Package document set
Every submittal package includes these, in this order.
- Cover sheet — project, submittal number, spec section(s), date, and the submitting company
- Transmittal — item list keyed to the schedule, with the reviewer/GC and the type (partial or full)
- Table of contents / section dividers so the reviewer can navigate
- Product data — manufacturer cut sheets marked to the exact model, options, and finish being furnished (strike what doesn't apply)
- Shop drawings for anything fabricated or custom, matched to the drawings and schedules
- Samples or physical mock-ups where the specification requires visual approval
- Certifications & test reports the spec calls up (listings, ratings, compliance letters)
- O&M data and warranties where required at this stage
- Substitution request forms for any product not on the approved-manufacturer list
2 · Electrical scope — by spec section
Pull a submittal for each section in your scope; confirm the spec's Part 1 list.
- 26 05 19 — Wire and cable: manufacturer cut sheets with conductor type, insulation rating, and temperature rating flagged
- 26 05 33 — Raceways and boxes: conduit, fittings, and box product data
- 26 24 13 / 26 24 16 — Switchboards and panelboards: shop drawings with bus ratings, AIC ratings, breaker layouts, and dimensions
- 26 27 26 — Wiring devices: receptacles, switches, cover plates, with finishes noted
- 26 28 16 — Enclosed switches and circuit breakers
- 26 51 00 — Lighting (often handled as its own package with the fixture schedule)
- Studies where specified: short-circuit, coordination, and arc-flash — usually a deferred or separate submittal
3 · Before you submit — common rejection reasons to rule out
Reviewers flag these first. Verify each is not an issue before you send.
- AIC ratings on panelboards lower than the fault current shown in the study
- Unmarked cut sheets — reviewer cannot tell which catalog number is being furnished
- Substituted gear manufacturer without a substitution request when the spec is proprietary
- Missing series ratings documentation when breakers are series-rated
- Fixture or device finishes that ignore the architect's finish schedule
- Wire submitted at 75°C when terminations require 90°C rated conductors
