Builder and truss supplier coordination: Milestones and timeline — 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 credible timeline is built from dependencies and review gates, not from a desired completion date copied into a spreadsheet.

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

  • Which milestone cannot start until another deliverable is accepted?
  • What review time belongs to a public agency, owner, lender, or supplier?
  • What is the recovery plan if the controlling activity slips?

Common failure modes

  • Showing dates without naming the dependency that makes them possible.
  • Ignoring procurement, review, and decision time.
  • Moving a finish date without showing the cost or scope consequence.
