What are selections, and why do they block the work?
Selections are the customer's choices on finishes, like tile, cabinet door style, countertop slab, hardware, and paint color, made within the project's allowances; a required selection blocks the room until it is decided.
Start free→Selections are the owner's finish decisions: the specific tile, cabinet door, slab, hardware, and paint they choose, usually within the allowances the contract set. A selection is where a taste decision becomes a buildable, schedulable, billable fact. It is not a preference noted somewhere; it is the instruction the shop fabricates and the crew installs against.
Selections drive procurement and schedule, so an unmade selection is a hard stop, not a soft reminder. A room cannot proceed to fabrication on an undecided finish, because the selection is the fabrication instruction. Late selections are one of the most common causes of a crew standing in a room with the wrong material or no material. Pinning selections down early is what keeps the field from waiting on the office.
Scaftra treats selections as first-class choice records, and the gate is real: a required-for-release selection blocks the room until the choice is approved, approved-as-noted, or cancelled, and a rejected selection does not clear the block because the owner picked nothing. Selections anchor to the room, trade, work package, budget line, and allowance, are validated to belong to the same project before save, and carry their own review lifecycle. Client sign-off runs through a narrow, membership-gated path so only the client can approve their own choices.
