FOR CONSTRUCTION & OPERATIONS
Keep the work moving. Keep everyone working from the agreed plan.
You are coordinating trades, resolving changes, and keeping homes moving toward completion. When an approval or scope change lives somewhere else, the field has to fill the gap. ThreadKore keeps the home, schedule, purchasing context, and documented decisions together.
A schedule needs the decisions behind the work.
Which version are we building?
A buyer’s choice changes, but the people arranging and doing the work need to know which scope is actually agreed.
Review the home’s recorded plans, selections, and change orders with purchasing. Use the approved scope to coordinate work instead of treating a conversation as an authorization.
How does extra work enter the plan?
An exception needs a trade, an approval, and a place in the schedule. A text message is not the whole record.
Record the variant purchase order and its reason, route the approval, and associate the work with a schedule event. Keep its timing and sign-off context with the home.
What still needs attention?
As completion approaches, the field’s work status and the financial record can raise different questions.
Review schedule and sign-off information alongside purchasing and invoice context. Work with finance to resolve open questions; a field sign-off is not a cash payment.

01How does extra work get back into the plan?
The problem
Extra work on site
A trade needs additional work on a home. The superintendent needs to coordinate it, while purchasing needs the reason, vendor, scope, and approval in the record.

- Who approves and coordinates it?
What you do in TK
Record and coordinate
Create a variant purchase order with its reason and supporting context. Route it through the approval process and use Schedule VPO to associate the work with an event and its dates.
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE
- Purchasing
- Document the variant
- Approver
- Review the request
- Schedule
- Associate event and timing
What you see
Different records, clear states
The variant has its own status and schedule context. Approved variants are included in the current budget; the unit schedule or calendar provides the sign-off workflow.

The decision it supports
Agree the next action
Decide whether the request is ready for approval and coordination, or needs more scope detail. Review completion with the trade and purchasing, then give accounting the supporting context for the invoice review.

ACTUAL PRODUCT SCREENS
See the records your team works with.
The supplied guides show how a variant is associated with a schedule event, and how purchase orders retain invoice and sign-off context.
How the work moves between teams.
- Sales & Design → Construction
- Review documented buyer choices and approved changes with the home’s plans. Ask for unresolved scope to be settled before coordinating the affected work.
- Construction ↔ Purchasing
- Record the reason for extra work and coordinate the vendor, approval, and schedule event. Keep the exception visible to the people arranging and reviewing the work.
- Construction → Finance
- Bring progress, sign-off, and outstanding-work questions into the job review. Finance can compare that context with commitments, invoices, and posted costs.
