Create a Project

Create Projects from your Dashboard, they come preloaded with default settings for building code compliance and workflow. Each Project is linked to a single Team to keep things organised.

Start a Project

Click ‘+ Create Project’ and add key details: 'Title', 'Project Code', 'Location', 'Storeys' (Estimated storeys of building), 'Floor-to-Floor Height' (Typical floor to floor height of building), 'Start and End Date', 'Project Manager' (A project manager plans, reviews, executes, and delivers projects), 'Building Code', 'Class', and 'Climate' Zone. These fields may vary by region and workflow, but they’re essential for auto-mapping the right local code, making compliance faster and easier.

1

Start with a name and location

To begin setting up a project, start by entering a 'Title' (typically the name of the Project), a 'Project Code' (typically an internal reference used to identify a Project), and a 'Location'. The location can be approximate (e.g. Melbourne) or a specific address, which can also be selected directly from the map. This location helps us automatically assign a relevant climate file for your Project.

2

Provide basic geometry

Next, provide basic geometry information, including the number of 'Storeys' and the typical Floor to Floor Height', both of which can be adjusted later if needed.

3

Set up a Flow

You’ll then create the Project Flow, which is the foundation of our project management system. Simply enter a 'Start and End Date', and assign a 'Project Manager'. A Project Manager plans, reviews, executes, and delivers projects. This can also be updated again later of things change.

Set up a Workflow

Finally, set up a Workflow by choosing either a local building code or designer mode. If using a building code, you’ll need to specify the 'Building Class' and the 'Climate Zone'. Once these details are in place, hit '+Create' and you're ready to begin your first design.
