Understanding the Casework Submittal Process: What Designers & GCs Should Expect from BLC
Ryan Felps

A smooth project starts long before fabrication begins.

One of the most important early steps is the casework submittal, which establishes exactly what will be built, what materials will be used, and how project requirements will be met.

But not all fabricators approach submittals the same way—and delays or unclear documentation can derail a project before it even starts.

Here’s what architects, GCs, and designers can expect from the BLC Submittal Package.

1. Complete, Clear Shop Drawings

Our drawings include:

  • Plans, elevations, and sections
  • Material and finish callouts
  • ADA compliance notes
  • Hardware schedules
  • Field-verified dimensions (when required)

These drawings give the design team a precise view of the final product, reducing RFIs and revisions.

2. Product Data & Material Specifications

BLC provides full documentation for:

  • Wilsonart HPL finishes
  • Solid surface materials
  • Hardware cut sheets
  • Substrate information
  • Fire ratings and certifications
  • Environmental/compliance data

This ensures the architect has everything required for approval.

3. Physical Samples When Needed

For healthcare, office, and retail spaces, designers often need physical samples for final approval.

BLC provides laminate and solid surface samples promptly to keep the schedule moving.

4. Quality Assurance & Compliance Documentation

Our submittal package includes:

  • Quality Assurance statement
  • Quality Control plan
  • Testing certifications
  • Installation standards

These documents demonstrate professionalism and reduce approval delays.

5. Fast Turnaround & Clear Communication

BLC understands that submittals drive the entire project schedule.

That’s why we prioritize:

  • Rapid submittal creation
  • Prompt revisions (if required)
  • Direct communication with GC and designer teams

Projects move faster when submittals are handled correctly from Day One.
