Frequently Asked Questions

A shop drawing log tracks every fabricator or subcontractor shop drawing from submission through review to approval, recording the review status, who currently holds it (ball-in-court), how long it has been in review, and whether it has been resubmitted — so nothing stalls fabrication.

Each drawing moves through Submitted, Under Review, and one of three outcomes — Approved, Approved as Noted, or Revise & Resubmit. Only Approved or Approved as Noted releases the item for fabrication; Revise & Resubmit starts a new review cycle and increments the resubmittal count.

Yes. The log counts resubmittals per drawing and computes review-day aging against your review SLA, so the Aging & Status Summary tab surfaces overdue reviews and a project-wide resubmittal rate.
