Materials to confirm before scheduling
Use material movement and quote-window pressure as a planning prompt, not as exact local stock or guaranteed lead time.

Material / Quote Risk
Open proposals can lose margin when material-sensitive scopes remain unsigned past their quote window.
Review open proposals with material-heavy scope, confirm expiration language, and avoid honoring stale verbal pricing without a written update.

Permit / Inspection Watch
Jobs with permit-dependent milestones can lose time when public permit status, inspection readiness, access, or owner availability is not checked before downstream scheduling. This is a directional planning signal, not a live permit portal status.
Add one internal check before scheduling downstream trades: permit status in the source system, inspection request, access notes, and owner availability.

Coastal weather can make exterior material staging risky when products arrive before the site is ready to protect them.
Check forecast windows, dry storage, site access, and delay notes before ordering weather-sensitive materials to the job.
