Sales to Production Handoff for Carpentry

The Sales to Production Handoff workflow helps carpentry contractors create consistency when passing projects from sales to field crews. It covers transferring contracts, drawings, material lists, and timelines to production managers. By following this process, carpenters reduce errors, prevent delays, and improve communication. Clients benefit from a professional, well-organized approach, while teams gain accountability and efficiency. With this workflow in place, carpentry companies can protect margins, strengthen client trust, and deliver projects smoothly and reliably from start to finish.
