Division 03 submittal risk checklist

A wrong value accepted in a concrete submittal can go into the pour. The 28-day cube test, the acceptance test in IS 456, reports four weeks after casting, when work may already have continued above it. These 24 checks are for the submittal stage, before the pour.

What is inside

24 checks on two printable pages, each with what to check, the evidence required and what to look for.
Mix design and materials: grade, exposure limits (IS 456 Table 5), cement, aggregates, admixtures, ready-mixed concrete.
Reinforcement: bar grade, mill certificates read value by value, cover (IS 456 Table 16).
Fresh concrete and curing: slump, hot-weather procedure, curing periods.
Testing and acceptance: sampling frequency (IS 456 cl. 15.2.2), the group-of-four check, NABL scope, dates.
RFI answers that change a specification value, and the revision in force on the review date.

How it works

Step 1: fill in the short form. No documents.
Step 2: download the PDF straight away. A copy of the link also comes by email.
Step 3: use it on your next concrete submittal. Tick an item only when you can point to the evidence and its page.

When you want it done on your own submittals

SuRFIcE screens Division 03 submittals and RFI answers against your specification and cites the specification page for every item, and the submittal page where a value was found. Anything it cannot judge safely is marked unclear, never passed. Each report is a draft for your engineer to review. A cited check of each Division 03 submittal, without buying an ERP or project platform.

Also send me up to 5 short emails over 14 days about checking concrete submittals. I can reply STOP at any time.

We use these details to send you the checklist link and, only if you tick the box, those emails, and to see which teams the pilot suits. We keep them until you ask us to delete them, and for no more than 12 months after our last email to you. To withdraw or delete, reply STOP or email admin@constrovet.com; we delete within 7 days. The form is delivered through Google Forms. See our privacy policy.

Does the checklist replace my specification?

No. Your contract's specification, its revision and the editions of the standards it names govern. Clause numbers in the checklist refer to IS 456:2000 including Amendments 1 and 2.

Do I have to take the emails?

No. The checklist comes either way. The emails come only if you tick the box, and they stop when you reply STOP.

Should I send project documents?

No. This form takes contact details only. Documents are requested only from pilot clients, after a place is confirmed, under the pilot terms.

What is SuRFIcE?

A screening aid for submittals and RFI answers. It flags and cites; it does not approve or reject work, and a licensed engineer makes every decision.
