Builder and truss supplier coordination: Handoff and recordkeeping — RiverTruss educational resource

Why this matters

The builder and supplier need a shared, current source of truth for dimensions, bearing, openings, revisions, delivery, and field questions. A strong handoff lets the next person understand what was decided, what remains open, and which source document controls the work.

Parallel revisions create a package that looks complete but cannot be confidently installed.

A practical framework

  1. name the current drawing set
  2. define revision and approval workflow
  3. coordinate schedule and delivery constraints
  4. route field questions to the appropriate professional

Questions to answer

  • What would a new teammate need to know on the first day?
  • Which version of the drawing, quote, policy, or approval is controlling?
  • How will the team prove that the handoff was accepted?

Common failure modes

  • Transferring files without transferring the reasoning behind the decision.
  • Keeping critical context in one person’s inbox or memory.
  • Closing a task because a file exists rather than because the result was reviewed.
