What is a reasonable turnaround time for a submittal?
Last reviewed July 5, 2026
A reasonable turnaround time for a submittal is usually around 10 to 15 working days. It can depend on the complexity of the submittal and the workload of the reviewer. Always check the project's specific requirements.
Key points
- Standard turnaround is 10-15 working days.
- Complex submittals might take longer.
- Reviewer's workload affects timing.
Make sure you factor in any holiday breaks or site constraints that could delay the process. If you're up against a deadline, it's good to communicate with the reviewer early. Keeping a close eye on submission dates helps avoid hold-ups.
