Reject submittals that don't have a review stamp. If they ask the owner to over rule you , pull the owner aside and explain to them this is part of the general conditions of the contract (assuming A201 was a part of the contract ) and important, so the contractor doesn't pass on his or her job to the architect. Which they will try to do. If a lot of excess hours are spent that aren't in your contract, there may be potential add services.
Reject any submittal that does not have the contractor's review stamp on it. No exceptions .

Contractor's Submittal Stamp |

Is it typical practice when the GC provides us with a submittal they "stamp" said submittal certifying that review, coordination of information; verification of products, dimensions & adj construction work is in accordance with the contract documents? All of our construction projects are using Procore & we don't seem to be getting this "certification" stamp or verbiage from the GC. Anyone else requiring this certification or having issues getting the GC to comply? The contracting vehicle is Design-Bid-Build and CMAR and Owner GMP/negotiated types of contracts. (For Design/Build projects this is not an issue.) Thank you.
