Who This Is For

Remodelers and custom builders who have lost weeks — and thousands — because a client could not pick tile in time. Material selection delays are the #1 schedule killer in remodeling. Faucets take 2 weeks. Cabinets take 6-10 weeks. Custom tile takes 4-8 weeks. This form gets every selection signed and dated.

What Professionals Say

★★★★★

Stopped 3 weeks of delays on a kitchen remodel because the client signed selection deadlines at the preconstruction meeting.

— Hannah R., kitchen remodeler
★★★★★

The allowance comparison column alone is worth it. I used to spend an hour calculating upgrade charges. Now it is automatic.

— Steve M., remodeling contractor
★★★★★

Clients actually love this form because it organizes all their decisions in one place.

Frequently Asked Questions

How early should I collect client selections?
Long lead items (cabinets: 6-10 weeks, appliances: 4-8 weeks, custom tile: 4-8 weeks, windows: 6-12 weeks) need to be selected BEFORE construction starts or within the first 2 weeks. Short lead items (paint colors, fixtures, hardware) can be selected during the first phase of work.
What happens if a client misses a selection deadline?
Use the included delay notice template to formally notify the client in writing that their selection delay will cause a schedule impact. Document the delay so you can justify a revised completion date.
What is a material allowance?
An allowance is a dollar amount you include in your contract estimate for a specific item that the client will select. If the client selects over the allowance, they pay the difference as a change order. The allowance column in this form tracks those comparisons automatically.
