Submittals
Items from suppliers and contractors which require approvals (material
specifications, shop drawings, paint specs, etc.) can be reviewed using
Submittals in ACC Build. This ensures that there is transparency and
that the project is proceeding according to the design specifications.
The project manager may create a submittal item and assign to a
contractor for requested feedback, or a contractor may create a
submittal item with relevant information and submit for approval.
Submittals may be individual items, or as packages of multiple items.

Cost Item Dollar Values
Cost items include five Values which will appear on all change order tabs:
• Estimated. For one PCO, a general contractor (GC) estimates the value. An estimate is not required to
advance an item.
• Proposed. GC asks the supplier to provide the estimation of the cost item of an RFQ (Request For Quotation)
and record the estimation into the Proposed value.
• Submitted. The cost item value shows in the Submitted column when a GC submits the COR (Change Order
Request) to an owner's review.
• Approved. After an owner's initial review, a GC combines multiple CORs into one OCO (Owner Change Order)
and signs the legal change order document with an owner. The OCO value is recorded as Approved.
• Committed. After the OCO or COR is approved, a GC will sign an SCO (Subcontractor Change Order) with the
supplier. The value is recorded as Committed.
