Specifications on homes for sale
Write each building package's specification once: cement, steel, flooring, doors, kitchen, bathrooms, electrical, paint, each with its allowance, and what is not included. It prints with every estimate, and with unit sales it goes on each home, its sale, the buyer's PDF and the buyer's portal.
PLANSFrom Growth
The problem it solves
- The brochure promises one tile, the site lays another, and the buyer has nothing in writing.
- Allowances are agreed by phone, so nobody knows who pays when the buyer picks a dearer fitting.
- Fifty flats in a tower each need the same sheet, typed fifty times.
- Buyers keep asking the sales team what their home comes with.
How it works
- Open Construction Sales > Building Packages and fill the Specification tab of each package: group, item, specification or brand, allowance and per what.
- Fill the Not Included tab, for example compound wall, sump, approvals or furniture.
- Price a plan with the package: the Rough Estimate prints the specification and what is not included.
- With unit sales: on the project, choose the package as its Specification and press Set Specification on All Units.
- Each unit and its sale show the Specification tab; Print Specification gives the buyer a PDF.
- The buyer sees the same sheet on their home's page in the portal and the app, and can download it.

Questions
Can each tower or phase have its own specification?
Yes. Each unit names its own package. Set one for the whole project, then change single units.Can a buyer choose a better tile on the portal?
No. The portal shows the sheet and its allowances; choices and upgrades are agreed with your team.Do we need unit sales for this?
For the specification on estimates, no. For the specification on homes for sale, their sales and the buyer's portal, yes.If we change a package, do the homes change too?
Yes. Units point to the package, so a change to its sheet shows on every unit that uses it. Make a new package for a new specification.Related features
