• Order materials with correct job codes/quantities; confirm delivery tickets and specification compliance.

• Track materials from purchase through installation; maintain production sheets, meeting minutes, schedule revisions, and change logs.
• Communicate with owners, inspectors, and designers via email and project portals.

• Closeout: compile final quantities, as-builts, warranties, and subcontractor documentation; drive punch list tracking and completion.
