Submittal Package Incompleteness in Division 14 Conveying Equipment submittals
Short answer

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 14 Conveying Equipment submittals.
What to look for in Division 14 Conveying Equipment
Commonly required items in Div 14 specs:
- Layout drawings (plan view of hoistway, pit, overhead, machine room)
- Elevation drawings showing all openings and travel
- Structural load reactions (for structural engineer review)
- Electrical power requirements (for electrical engineer review)
- Cab interior finish samples or detailed drawings
- Signal fixture samples or cut sheets (hall lanterns, COP, hall stations)
- Door operator and entrance details
- Controller and drive system specifications
- Firefighters' emergency operation sequence narrative
- Seismic design calculations (where required)
- Maintenance and warranty terms
- Escalator truss layout and support point reactions
- ADA compliance checklist covering car size, controls height, door timing, signals
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 14 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
What layout and drawing items are most often missing from Division 14 Conveying Equipment submittal packages?
Plan views of the hoistway, pit, overhead, and machine room are the most frequently absent drawings. Escalator truss layout with support point reactions is another common gap, because the structural engineer needs it to verify the building framing. Without these drawings the PM cannot forward the package to the structural or electrical engineer for parallel review, so the package stays at Fix and Resubmit until all layout and elevation drawings are included.
Why does a Division 14 Conveying Equipment submittal need a firefighters' emergency operation sequence narrative and an ADA compliance checklist?
The firefighters' emergency operation narrative documents Phase I recall and Phase II operation sequences for the fire alarm designer to verify against the NFPA 72 interface. The ADA compliance checklist covers car size, control height, door timing, and signals - all items that inspectors check at final acceptance. Submitting without both documents forces a resubmit and delays the elevator permit, which can hold up occupancy.
