DEFINITION

Group

A Group is a set of projects that share item lists (not placement quantities), Pay Requests, users, and other details. A Group is primarily used for road paving projects that span across several different districts. Groups can also be used for any list of Projects that need to be reported on as a single Project.

Project

A Project is a representation of a construction contract. Each project contains the related contract's item list, original proposed quantities, inspections, change orders, Pay Requests, and other related files.

Items

Items are the line items listed on a construction contract. A Project or Group's item list becomes static once the project has started, and can only be changed using Change Orders.

Daily Inspections

When an inspector visits a job site, the documentation they create is called a Daily Inspection. Each Daily Inspection can contain a wide array of notes, information about the job site like the weather, personnel and equipment on site, along with items placement logs and photos of the work performed.

Change Orders

Change Orders are used to document contractual changes to items within a Project.

Pay Requests

Payment Requests are summations of all approved items placements within a a date range inside a single Project.
