Document Readiness for Preconstruction Developers

Coordinate required buyer documents, review status, exceptions, and handoffs without treating receipt as approval.

See the process
A connected buyer document file moving through requirement, receipt, review, and exception checkpoints.

Operational owner

Buyer operations or post-sale teams, supported by authorized document reviewers.

When it runs

From reservation through closing, and whenever a document requirement or buyer record changes.

What this workflow controls

Document readiness is a controlled view of which buyer documents are required, requested, received, ready for review, approved, expired, or blocked for the correct buyer and unit.

Asterisko coordinates the operating context and approved actions. The connected business systems remain authoritative, and people keep control of decisions that require judgment.

Implementation checklist

Each action has a defined source, operating owner, and exception path.

  1. Define the requirement set

    Record which documents apply to the buyer, unit, transaction stage, and approved policy. Keep conditional requirements separate from items required for every file.

  2. Request and track

    Send approved requests through the permitted channel, retain what was requested, and give every open item a status, owner, and next action.

  3. Match and classify

    Connect each received file to the correct buyer, unit, and requirement. Preserve the difference between received, ready for review, and approved.

  4. Route review and exceptions

    Send unclear, conflicting, expired, sensitive, or policy-dependent cases to an authorized person with the relevant source context.

System boundaries

Connect only the records and actions needed for this workflow.

System inputs

  • Buyer, project, unit, and contract identifiers from the approved record
  • Document requirement policy and any conditional requirement rules
  • Repository links, receipt events, and current review status
  • Approved communication templates and channel permissions

Workflow outputs

  • A reviewable requirement status for each buyer and unit
  • Requests and follow-up tasks with a named operational owner
  • Reviewer handoffs with the source file and requirement context
  • Visible exceptions that stop the standard workflow

Human review stays explicit

Automation should stop where permissions, conflicting evidence, or authorized judgment begin.

  • A workflow may classify receipt and readiness, but an authorized person owns approval, verification, and professional judgment.
  • Sensitive files should only be exposed to roles and systems permitted to handle them.
  • Conflicting identifiers, unclear file ownership, or changed requirements should stop automatic progression.
  • The document repository remains authoritative for the stored file and its approved record.

Frequently asked questions

What does document readiness mean in preconstruction?

It means every required buyer document has a known operating status, belongs to the correct buyer and unit, and is available for the authorized next action. It does not mean the document has been legally or professionally approved.

Does Asterisko replace the document repository?

No. Asterisko is designed to coordinate requests, statuses, exceptions, and handoffs while the approved repository remains the source of truth for stored documents.

Which document cases should reach a person?

Cases with conflicting identifiers, unclear ownership, sensitive information, expired evidence, policy exceptions, or any decision that requires authorized judgment should be escalated.
