What options may the designer indicate on drawings about submittals?

• A. No exceptions taken, corrections required, revisions and resubmission, or rejection.
• B. Approved as submitted.
• C. Not required to review.
• D. Ready for construction.

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that submittal review results are communicated on drawings to tell the contractor exactly what to do next. The designer can indicate four possible statuses for a submittal: no exceptions taken, meaning the submittal is acceptable as submitted and can proceed; corrections required, meaning some items don’t conform and must be fixed and resubmitted; revisions and resubmission, meaning more substantial changes are needed and a revised submittal must be provided; or rejection, meaning the submittal does not meet requirements and a new submittal is needed. This range covers both acceptable elements and the actions needed to bring nonconforming work into compliance. Other options like “approved as submitted” aren’t listed as the official submittal status on the drawings in this context, “not required to review” isn’t a communication about the submittal’s status, and “ready for construction” describes a phase rather than the review outcome.
