Stop piecing together project direction from scattered email threads, meeting notes, and files. This practical eBook helps small architecture practice managers identify communications that affect scope, materials, drawing revisions, or permission to proceed—and turn them into clear, traceable records the team can use. Learn to distinguish client direction from authorization, preserve unanswered approval questions, and verify candidate entries against the original message rather than relying on memory or an incomplete thread. The chapters move from auditing where records break to maintaining a useful project record as decisions and project conditions change. You will learn the Decision Versus Approval Matrix and explore how to record what was decided, what remains open, and where the source can be found. Designed for managers who want a more reliable way to track decisions without reconstructing project history from scratch.
