VegaUltimate Construction Operations Library
Prepared by the VegaUltimate team · Editorial approach · All guides
A selection is a project decision with a deadline, a cost and a downstream effect.
Cabinets, plumbing fixtures, lighting, flooring, appliances and finishes are not isolated design choices. Each can affect purchasing, rough-in, fabrication, installation and the project budget.
01
Create the selection register early
List required owner decisions, responsible party and the date each choice is needed to protect procurement and field work.
02
Show the budget context
When a selection is tied to an allowance, make the allowance and expected difference visible before approval.
03
Record the actual decision
Keep product, finish, approval date and supporting information with the project so purchasing and field teams use the same selection.
04
Carry changes downstream
If the decision changes cost, lead time or installation requirements, update the appropriate purchase, change and schedule records.
