01
RFQ and schedule intake
We begin with the material you have—plans, schedules, specifications, product lists, photos, or a written request.
Project support
Keep the opening, the quote, and the handoff connected.
Commercial hardware work changes quickly. Lifetime uses a controlled process to keep scope questions, pricing, revisions, and customer-facing documents aligned.
How work moves
Support from first request through purchasing.
Every project is different, but the handoff should still be understandable. These stages show what information is being reviewed and what decision comes next.
02
Opening and scope organization
The requirement is organized by opening, hardware set, or product so quantities and missing information are easier to review.
03
Clarifications and alternates
Conflicts, incomplete selections, and proposed substitutions are surfaced before they become customer commitments.
04
Coordinated customer quote
The customer receives a clean commercial quote with product, quantity, pricing, freight, terms, and project references.
05
Submittals and revisions
Project information, revision descriptions, hardware sets, schedules, and approved deviations can remain connected in a controlled package.
06
Acceptance and order handoff
After customer acceptance, the approved commercial version moves into purchasing and order coordination with a documented status.
