Construction project management: what to track from award through closeout
A construction project record should keep responsibilities, schedule milestones, approvals, documents and budget changes together. VegaUltimate focuses on managing an awarded project; takeoffs and bid estimating belong in VegaEstimating.
What needs to stay connected
Record the project team, approved scope, schedule milestones, change decisions, job-related financial activity and closeout documents. Links between these records reduce re-entry and make unresolved work easier to find.
Start with one real job
Create a company workspace, add a project, set the people responsible and upload the current project documents. Add further controls when the job needs them rather than configuring every integration first.
Protect project records
Team and client access should be limited by their actual project roles. Financial approvals should remain explicit, and imported estimate totals should be reviewed before becoming the project budget.
