A simple structure for material specifications that the whole team can follow

Try recording every material with a reference code, supplier, finish, dimensions, location, quantity, lead time, cost, approval status, and the date of the latest revision. The important part is giving every drawing, schedule, and sample the same reference code so changes can be traced quickly.

Add a field for the source of every change. Knowing whether a revision came from the client, consultant, contractor, or design team makes coordination much easier later.

We also record the approved sample location and photograph it beside the reference code. That has prevented many finish disputes on site.
