Fernando M., Senior Project Manager at Middletown Construction Group, managed the tower’s final stretch. His team juggled more than 350 submittals and 180 RFIs while trades pushed toward substantial completion. Spreadsheets lived on a network drive; drawings and data sheets hid in email threads. Each time an inspector asked for proof, Fernando searched multiple folders, renamed files, and updated logs by hand. The process burned hours and risked late penalties.

Mid‑project, Fernando moved document control to SubmittalLink. He entered each submittal and RFI once. The platform emailed consultants automatically, and their replies dropped straight into the correct record. When a subcontractor issued a new as‑built or product data sheet, SubmittalLink saved the file under the right drawing set and marked the previous version obsolete. Everyone from the architect to field supers saw real‑time status without another meeting.

With every file centralized and searchable, Fernando finished closeout in seven weeks instead of ten. Daily admin time fell by about two hours, which the team used to punch units and release retainage early. The owner received a single, organized turnover package on the first try, and Middletown booked the next job with the same client.
