Keep the layout version visible
Tie each customer change to a dated plan and a specific fence section or gate reference rather than a vague note like 'the left side', so the crew and material order use the same layout.
Check the gate and material choices
Compare the selected gates and finishes with the draft order. Record unanswered questions about dimensions or configuration for the specifier. The comparison should make uncertainty visible before purchase, not choose a convenient default that the customer has never accepted.
Collect the required job documents
Use the checklist supplied by the company for this location and scope. Track which documents and site confirmations have actually been checked, including any applicable approvals. Do not infer a permit requirement or boundary agreement from a generic checklist; the project lead resolves those matters.

Questions you may have
Can this establish a property boundary?
No. It organises the documents provided. Boundary and permission questions require the appropriate evidence and professional process.
What if approval only says 'looks good'?
Show the message beside the drawing versions and ask which version it approves. Do not assign it to a drawing by guesswork.
