Division 06 Wood, Plastics, and Composites
Submittal Package Incompleteness in Division 06 Wood, Plastics, and Composites submittals
Short answer
A required submittal element (cut sheet, schedule, calculation, sample) is missing, leaving the package unreviewable as submitted. Default grade in Division 06 Wood, Plastics, and Composites: Fix and Resubmit.
A required submittal element (cut sheet, schedule, calculation, sample) is missing, leaving the package unreviewable as submitted. This guide covers how it shows up specifically in Division 06 Wood, Plastics, and Composites submittals.
What to look for in Division 06 Wood, Plastics, and Composites
Commonly required items in Div 06 specs:
- Lumber grade stamps or mill certificates with species and grade
- Moisture content test reports or certification
- ICC-ES ESR reports for all engineered wood products and proprietary connectors
- Glulam shop drawings with combination symbol, camber, and connection details
- CLT panel shop drawings with layup, grade, and connection details
- Truss design drawings sealed by a licensed professional engineer
- FRT manufacturer's test reports and listing documentation
- AWPA treatment certificates with retention levels and use category
- AWI quality grade compliance documentation for architectural woodwork
- Shop drawings for architectural millwork with species, finish, and hardware
- Connector/hardware catalog data with allowable load tables
- Warranty documentation
- LEED documentation - FSC/PEFC chain-of-custody certificates, regional materials data
How severe is it?
Default grade: Fix and Resubmit. The sub completes the package and resubmits before the PM can fully review.
Deviation Check assigns a default per category and escalates or de-escalates based on the spec, always showing its reasoning. See the Division 06 severity rules.
What the PM should do
Stamp the submittal Revise and Resubmit. Mark the deviation, return the relevant spec passage as a redline, and have the sub correct and re-send before fabrication or installation.

Frequently asked questions
Which items make a Division 06 Wood, Plastics, and Composites submittal package unreviewable when missing?
Truss design drawings sealed by a licensed PE, ICC-ES ESR reports for engineered wood products and proprietary connectors, and AWPA treatment certificates with retention levels and use category. Without sealed truss drawings the engineer cannot verify design loads per TPI 1. Without ESR reports there is no basis to confirm design values for LVL, PSL, or LSL. These omissions block the full technical review, not just one item.
What LEED-related documents belong in a complete Division 06 Wood, Plastics, and Composites submittal package?
FSC or PEFC chain-of-custody certificates for certified wood credits, and regional materials sourcing data showing extraction, processing, and manufacturing locations relative to the project site. These are distinct from structural certifications and are frequently submitted in a separate tab or addendum. Missing chain-of-custody certificates cannot be substituted with a supplier letter - the actual FSC or PEFC CoC number must appear on the documentation.
