Make travel and purchase decisions as needed to ensure the project is performed on schedule. This timeline constraint is determined by communication with internal and external stakeholders on the project. Internally this can be the salesperson directly involved with the project/client. Externally this can be the client’s Project Managers, superintendents, and more.

All travel and purchase decisions must be weighed against the project’s budget, labor constraints and morale, realistic urgency of the project and other intangible factors. All purchase and travel decisions can be questioned and must hold up to scrutiny from management.
