How do I get started?

Click Get started, then use Proto to configure PM for Construction for your business. Pilot one active site, one work package, a small task board and the crew who will record time. Rehearse an RFI triage and a submitted-timesheet approval result before expanding.

What does the project record hold?

It connects the site name and code to its client or contractor, manager, programme dates, contract value, delivery method, status and scope. Packages, tasks, milestones, risks, issues and timesheets connect to that project context.

How do we follow daily site work?

Use the task board to separate backlog, work in progress, review, blocked work and completed tasks. Open a task for its assignee, dates, estimate, actual hours and package.

Can crew members record time against a task?

Yes. A timesheet names the crew member, work date, project and optional site task. Submission triggers approval checks; approved entries retain a review decision and receipt.

What happens if a submitted timesheet has zero hours?

The approval workflow blocks nonpositive hours and records a failed receipt. The source entry needs correction before another approval attempt.

How are RF is and site issues handled?

A raised issue belongs to a project and carries severity, an owner and a status. Setting an issue to Open triggers triage when severity is present, which records the outcome. Fixed work remains visible for verification.

What is in the site exception queue?

Site Exception Triage brings overdue milestones and tasks, fixed-but-unverified issues and leading risks together with owners, age and links to their source records.

Can we attach inspection documents?

Inspection evidence records a file link, evidence kind and the parent record’s type and identifier. A submittal review records the subject, reviewer, date and Approved, Rejected or Returned decision.

How do milestones relate to payment?

A milestone records a site checkpoint and its status. If the checkpoint feeds payment, agree a separate commercial handoff and authority for invoicing or release.

Can we migrate an existing project list?

Start with stable project, package, task and crew identifiers. Load parent records before child work, then reconcile dates, hours and owners on a small pilot site.
