The site asks
Tarek is on site at the Twin Villas. The crew is coming up to the finishes, so he opens the material requests to ask for what they need next.
He requests the Smoked Oak — a real material, a quantity, and a date. Those three are what turn a site need into something the office can actually buy.
Procurement orders it
Hoda in procurement picks up the same request, already written. She is not retyping it from a message; the handover carried everything she needs.
She turns it into a purchase order to a named supplier — Cairo Terrazzo. A PO is the document the supplier builds to and the studio is held to.
The accountant checks the commitment
Mostafa, the accountant, opens cost control. His question is whether this order still fits inside the budget, before the money is committed.
The new order is already counted as committed spend — the money is spoken for the moment Hoda raises the PO, not when the invoice arrives months later. Committed is the number people forget.
The owner sees the whole picture
Dina, the owner, sees that same spend rolled up across every job in the portfolio. One finish order on one villa is, to her, a line in the 2026 delivery picture.
The habit
The habit this relay teaches: each handover has to carry what the next one needs. A request without a quantity dies in procurement; an order without a supplier never becomes a delivery.
