Estimating to Production Handoff for Roofing

The Estimating to Production Handoff workflow provides roofing contractors with a structured method for moving from bid approval to project execution. It covers reviewing estimates, transferring scope details, aligning budgets, and sharing subcontractor or supplier information. Supervisors ensure production crews understand requirements and timelines. By following this workflow, roofing companies reduce errors, avoid rework, and protect profitability. Clients benefit from smooth project starts and accurate scheduling. Teams gain accountability with documented handoffs. With this workflow in place, roofing contractors can strengthen professionalism, improve efficiency, and deliver projects more reliably with seamless coordination between estimating and field operations.
