When the Handoff Is Rushed, the Job Starts Behind
For glass distributors working with installation subs, clarity at handoff is everything. The best way to avoid install-day issues is to treat the subcontractor onboarding as a formal milestone—not a handshake.
What a Proper Handoff Includes
Briefing package (specs, crate maps, access plans)
Contact sheet for issues (QA, reorder, delivery ops)
Installation sequence overview
Site safety and handling protocols
Formalize It With a Quick Field Meeting
Hold a 15-minute walk-through. Answer questions. Align on expectations. If you wait until glass is being unpacked, it’s too late.
