Attach selections, appliance specs, layout notes, and trade pricing backup.
Save the approved kitchen change with the remodel quote, selections, pricing, and job record.
Approval boundary
Templates help you write the request. StackQuotes helps you keep the approval record tied to the job.
A draft, conversation, estimate, diagnostic note, selection, or field photo is not the same as customer approval. Treat the change as approved only after the customer takes the approval action requested in the record.

Common mistakes
- Approving an appliance change without cabinet or countertop impact.
- Leaving hidden conditions separate from price and schedule impact.
- Treating selection conversations as approval.
- Not documenting electrical and plumbing changes caused by layout revisions.
