Identification
Project and frame identifiers that link the template to purchase orders, drawings, and permits for traceability throughout procurement and invoicing.
A clear template reduces measurement errors, ensures consistent specification of materials and finishes, and documents approvals for price, lead time, and scope. Standard fields make it easier to compare quotes, identify gaps, and create an auditable record of decisions and authorizations.
Using a shared template reduces rework, clarifies scope for change orders, and supports warranty and payment workflows after installation.

Produce a flattened, audit-trailed PDF for the executed agreement to preserve signatures and prevent unauthorized changes.
Keep an editable DOCX master to update standard language or reuse fields for future orders.
Export measurement tables to CSV for importing into fabrication software or estimation spreadsheets.
Include JPG or PNG site photos and annotated sketches to support measurements and installation notes.
1–3 days after final site measurements and approvals.
2–6 weeks depending on species and finish complexity.
3–10 business days domestic, longer for special freight.
Schedule a confirmed date and contingency buffer for on-site adjustments.
Begins on the date of final acceptance or installation completion.
Confirm opening sizes and tolerances with photos and a signed measurement form.
Send the signed template to fabrication to trigger manufacturing.
Inspect frames at factory or on delivery against the acceptance checklist.
