Field notes for the decision holding up the cab.
These guides explain the work, not the software pitch. Use them to define a handoff, review a submittal log, challenge an estimate, or train the person taking the next cab job. There is no registration and no invented benchmark. The operating detail is the point.
A task list does not stop the shop from cutting panels from an unfinished drawing. The guides below define what is preliminary, what is approved, who owns the next action, and what evidence releases the job.
The full sequence from lead intake through closeout, with owners, exit conditions, and classic failures.
Who it is for: For project managers, operations leaders, estimators, and anyone responsible for handoffs.

Every field an actionable BOM line needs, organised by cab assembly, and why lines come back unbuyable.
Who it is for: For estimators, engineers, purchasing staff, and shop leaders working from a parts list.

The dates that govern a delivery, how to count backwards from the site date, and where float really sits.

What a quote request must contain, how to compare quotes fairly, and how long a price should hold.
Who it is for: For purchasing, estimators, and owners buying material against a released BOM.
Read the guide
Material, finish name, grain direction, gauge, protection and samples — the parts a one-word finish leaves out.
Who it is for: For engineers, estimators, sales, and anyone writing a finish onto a drawing.

What belongs on the list, who signs it, how damage and back-charges are settled, and what closes the job.
Who it is for: For project managers, installers, and anyone chasing a job that is built but not closed.
Read the guideAgree on drawing status names, review responsibilities, estimate assumptions, and release gates before the first urgent revision. “Almost done” is not an exit condition. “The latest PDF” is not a revision.
Every project has its own specifications, approval authorities, site rules, and commercial terms. These pages provide a working structure, not legal advice or a replacement for the contract documents. Keep that structure. Assign the parties and evidence your contract requires.
To see how Build It Track It is intended to carry these controls, review the twelve-stage platform workflow and the project controls and features. The guides stand on their own whether or not you use the software.
Build It Track It remains in pre-sales for its Q3 2026 launch.
