Responsibility matrix

Responsibilities are reviewed for the specific project and recorded after both sides confirm them.

Responsibility matrix
Topic Supplier Customer Local contractor
Opening and site information Review submitted information and identify items that still need confirmation. Provide photos, rough dimensions, location, and known project constraints. Verify site conditions and final field dimensions when appointed.
Product, style, and finish Present discussable options and record confirmed references. Identify preferred product, style IDs, colors, glass, and hardware. Flag site interfaces that affect the selected configuration.
Drawings and commercial confirmation Share available drawings and quote revisions for review. Review revisions and confirm the agreed scope in writing. Review relevant interfaces, clearances, and installation conditions.
Production, inspection, and packing communication Communicate applicable checkpoints and share agreed records when available. Respond to open confirmations and review shared records. Confirm delivery access and handling constraints relevant to the site.
Shipping and installation coordination Discuss shipping documents, handoff information, and product-side questions. Confirm destination, consignee, access, and the appointed local contractor. Plan site receiving and installation, then confirm completion responsibilities.
