Selections

Selections, without the back-and-forth.

Q: Can I set a deadline so a selection doesn't hold up the schedule?

Yes. Each selection has its own required-on-site date, so you can see at a glance which decisions are still outstanding before they become a scheduling problem.

Set an allowance, add the options with photos, and let clients choose from their own portal — no forwarded photos, no group chat, no "did they confirm the tile yet?" Every decision is timestamped and tied to the room it's for.

What you see

Set it up once, from the job.

Set an allowance and unit up front, per room or item.
Add as many photo options as you like, curated by you.
Draft it internally, then flip it visible when it's ready.
Every change is a tracked revision — nothing overwritten silently.

What your client sees

A portal, not a phone call.

Clients choose from real photos, not descriptions read over the phone.
One tap on an option to pick it — no reply-all email thread to keep track of.
Clients can message the builder directly against the selection, or ask for a revision if they're unsure.
You set the required-on-site date so decisions don't quietly become a schedule problem.

Selections used to mean forwarded photos, a dozen text threads, and hoping everyone remembers what got picked. Now it's one place, one decision, done.

Everything in the Selections module

Allowance tracking

Set an allowance and unit — clients see exactly what's included before they pick.

Multiple options, one selection

Add as many options as you like, each with its own photo — the client picks from what you've curated, nothing else.

Visible-to-client control

Draft internally, then flip it visible when it's ready for the client to see.

Activity and comment trail

Every note and decision is logged against the selection — no digging through old messages.

Revision tracking

Every selection carries a revision number, so changes stay traceable as you go back and forth.

Required-on-site dates

Each selection carries its own deadline, so nothing holds up the schedule.

Selections — frequently asked questions

What are Selections in Build Margin?

Selections are the finishes and fixtures a client chooses during the build — tiles, tapware, cabinetry and so on. Each one carries an allowance, a set of options, and a place for the client to make their pick.

What does the client actually see?

Clients get their own portal view of each selection — the options as photos, the allowance, and a place to leave a message if they need to. They do not see your internal drafts until you make a selection visible.

Can clients see photos of each option, not just a name?

Yes. Each option can carry its own photo, so the client is choosing from images rather than guessing from a description.

Does the builder control what the client sees?

Yes. Every selection has a visible-to-client toggle — draft and edit it internally first, then make it visible when it's ready for the client to review.

Is there a record of what was decided and when?

Every selection keeps an activity and comment trail, plus a revision number, so you can see exactly what was picked, by whom, and when.

Can I set a deadline so a selection doesn't hold up the schedule?

Yes. Each selection carries its own required-on-site date, so you can see at a glance which decisions are still outstanding before they become a scheduling problem.
