What is a typical submittal a Home Owner Builder would provide for approval?

• A. Shop drawings, product data, hardware and material samples, and other details showing compliance with plans and codes.
• B. A handwritten note describing the project.
• C. A single photo of the site.
• D. A copy of the contract.

Answer: (D)

Submittals are the documents you provide for review to show that the planned construction and materials will meet the approved plans and applicable codes. Typical items sent for approval include shop drawings that detail how components will be installed, product data that describe materials and performance, hardware and material samples, and other details that demonstrate compliance with the specifications. A copy of the contract, while essential for the project, isn’t a submittal used for approval of design or construction—it’s the agreement between the owner and contractor, not a verification of code or plan compliance.
