# Submittal Desk

> Submittal Desk is a submittal review service for MEP subcontractors in the United States, run by Mike Rodgers from Denver. It builds the submittal log from your spec book, checks each package against its spec section before it goes to the GC, and hands your project engineer a compliance matrix to approve.

## Offer and prices
- Sample run: $1,500 fixed price. One spec division (up to 25 sections) and up to 20 past packages with the reviewer's returns: the submittal register, a compliance matrix per package, and a count of the reviewer's comments the check flagged in advance. Returned 10 business days after documents arrive. Credited in full against setup if setup is signed within 30 days of the report.
- Setup: $5,000 one time, 4 weeks. Set up on your spec books, submittal log format, cover sheet and transmittal templates for one active project, with a 2 week parallel run and an acceptance test your project engineer signs.
- Monthly run: $1,200 a month per active project, up to 60 packages a month, month to month with 30 days notice. Register upkeep, a pre-check and compliance matrix for every package, and a monthly KPI report.

## What it does
- Spec Log: Every submittal your spec book requires, one line per spec section and paragraph, with its type and status, in a log you own.
- Pre-Check: Each package read against its spec section before it leaves your office: manufacturer, ratings, dimensions and missing items, each finding tied to a page.
- Compliance Matrix: One row per requirement: spec value, submitted value, comply, deviate, missing or needs PE, and the page. The deviation list and cover sheet come from it.
- RFI Match: Answered RFIs on your RFI log are placed next to the spec requirement they touch, so the package is checked against the answer, not only the original spec.

## Named desks (same four parts, same rulebook)
- Div 26 Desk (Electrical, Division 26): https://submittal-desk.com/electrical/
- Div 23 Desk (Mechanical, Division 23): https://submittal-desk.com/mechanical/
- Div 22 Desk (Plumbing, Division 22): https://submittal-desk.com/plumbing/
- Div 21 Desk (Fire protection, Division 21): https://submittal-desk.com/fire-protection/

## Boundaries (what it is not)
- Not a submission service. The desk never sends a package or contacts your GC, architect, engineer or owner.
- No engineering judgment, stamps or signatures. The engineer of record makes the compliance call.
- No deviation or substitution requests on your behalf, no shop drawing production, and no RFI drafting.
- No closeout manuals or O&M binders yet.
- Never writes into Procore or any other platform. Output comes back as a CSV in your log's column order.
- Not a code review. The desk checks against your project spec, not the NEC, plumbing code or NFPA standards.
