Practical software guides

A construction handoff can create avoidable rework, but this guide makes no claim that it costs more than materials. Track one purchase or change order from the approved revision to actual receipt.

A worker capturing receipt offline should see pending upload. Retain capture and server receipt times, and reconcile a repeated upload by stable reference. A delivery acknowledgement does not establish technical suitability or safety.

Use the existing project/accounting system where possible. Pilot only a narrow document or notification gap and define the acceptance check before development. Construction, code and warranty decisions require qualified specialists. See the project evidence guide for a material-substitution example.
