Introducing SubmittalGenerator: A Faster Way to Build Professional Construction Submittals

We are excited to announce the public launch of SubmittalGenerator, now available at SubmittalGenerator.com. This tool began as an internal solution we created in early 2016 to help our team produce consistent, professional submittal packages for value engineering projects. Over nearly a decade, it grew through real project experience and contractor feedback, and today we are releasing the latest version for the entire industry.

SubmittalGenerator is built for contractors and material suppliers who create submittals for project approvals, and for architects, designers, engineers, and project managers who receive and review them. It is simple to use, built for speed, and ready for any size project.

Why We Built SubmittalGenerator

Every value engineering project we supported required a complete and professional submittal package. We often handled dozens of files, data sheets, cut sheets, and supporting documents scattered across desktops. Compiling them into a consistent format took hours, which slowed down our ability to help contractors secure approvals or move their projects forward.

The earliest version of SubmittalGenerator was a basic internal tool, but it solved a real problem. Over the next several years we standardized the formatting, added project organization, added page templates, added drag and drop ordering, introduced document markup tools, implemented custom branding, and recently launched a full file library for reusing documents across projects. After thousands of internal submittals, the tool is now refined enough to help anyone who works with construction documentation.

A Better Way to Create Submittals

Many contractors still create submittals manually. This often involves building cover pages and indexes from scratch, marking up individual PDFs with part numbers or highlights, reorganizing scattered files, and merging everything into a clean packet. These steps require time, patience, and constant repetition.

SubmittalGenerator replaces all of this with a streamlined workflow. You can create a project with all pertinent details shown on the cover page, organize the submittal into logical sections, and add items with as many supporting PDF documents as needed. You can mark up document pages directly in the app using highlights, text, rectangles, and lines. When you are ready to export, the system generates a clean and professional submittal that is more likely to get approved on the first pass.

The tool also includes time-saving features for day to day project work. You can share submittals directly from the app, duplicate previous projects for quick revisions, and reuse any file you have uploaded through the built-in file library. You can start testing the app for free without a credit card, or choose our Pro or Team plans to unlock unlimited projects and added functionality.

Key Features Contractors Can Use Right Away

Simple Project Workspace

Create projects, upload files, reorder pages, and export complete PDF submittals using a clean and organized interface. No special training required.

Automatic Formatting

Every page is placed into a consistent layout, which removes the tedious manual work of reformatting documents and ensures a professional presentation.

Drag and Drop Organization

Move pages, reorder product data sheets, and build your packet exactly the way you want. The system handles all formatting behind the scenes.

File Library for Future Projects

Reuse any document uploaded through the app, and search by manufacturer, part number, or file name to quickly locate the files you need.

Document Markup Tools

Add highlights, text notes, rectangles, or lines to call out specific details or options directly inside the app. No external editing software required.

Custom Branding

Add your logo and company information to create a polished document that matches your brand or specific project requirements.

Note: Additional enhancements are in development and will continue to be shaped by user feedback.

Who SubmittalGenerator Is Built For

SubmittalGenerator supports contractors, estimators, project managers, and material suppliers who prepare documentation for construction projects. It is especially helpful for teams who regularly work with product data sheets, warranty information, safety files, wiring diagrams, installation documents, or approval packages.

Because RelightDepot originally built this tool for its own project workflows, it fits naturally with lighting projects of any size. Users will find it particularly useful when preparing submittals for approvals, inspections, or competitive bids.

Your Feedback Will Shape the Next Phase

Even though SubmittalGenerator is a mature tool with years of internal use behind it, we want to continue refining it based on how contractors apply it in the field. We would love to learn:

• How you currently create submittals.
• Where your workflow slows down.
• Which features save you the most time.
• What additional capabilities would help your project work.

Your feedback will guide future improvements and help ensure the tool remains practical for real project demands.
