How Can I Track Client Selections for Kitchens, Bathrooms, and Flooring?
You can track client selections for kitchens, bathrooms, and flooring by organizing selections by room, recording the allowance for each item, comparing the chosen option against that allowance and approving the final choice before ordering.
In Jestor, selections are grouped by room and linked to the project budget, so upgrades are priced before they are ordered.
Why do selections cause budget surprises?
Kitchens, bathrooms and flooring involve many choices: cabinets, countertops, tiles, fixtures, finishes. Each has a price range.
When clients choose above the allowance without seeing the difference, the final invoice becomes a dispute.
Tracking dozens of choices in messages is impossible.
What problems does selection tracking solve?
- Upgrades chosen without seeing the cost
- Disputes about allowances
- Missing selections delaying orders
- Choices changed without records
- No room-by-room view for the client
