Check the materials against the job
Tie the customer's approved selection to the order and checked receipt. Keep product references, quantities and room allocation visible where they form part of your process. A missing line or changed product needs review before the office treats the delivery as complete.
Separate removal from installation
Read the accepted scope for lifting existing flooring, disposal, furniture movement and related work. Record any later request separately. If the customer and job card disagree, prepare the specific question rather than assuming the crew will absorb the extra work.
Confirm the room handoff
List each room in the job alongside its clearance, furniture-removal and installer subfloor-check statuses so the scheduler sees what is still blocking the installation date.

Questions you may have

Can the assistant assess moisture or substrate condition?
This workflow records the installer's findings and status. It does not replace measurements or a technical assessment.
