Building and renovation
Getting affordable homes built and families moved in
An affordable housing build puts crews, volunteers and subcontractors on one site with a fixed budget, while buyers wait for their move-in dates. Here the build is one project: a to-do list per row of houses, progress photos, the crew's chat, inspection reports and the build days.
Post Oak Housing Trust posts each milestone and the hydrant news on the and keeps a list for each row of cottages in To-dos, on the progress chart. Progress photos, the plans, the inspection reports and the buyers' color picks sit in Docs & Files, the site crew posts the morning's plan in Chat, and the Calendar holds the volunteer build days, the hydrant tap and the families' walk-through.

Kitchen renovation
A kitchen renovation runs on dozens of choices, deliveries and inspections, often while a family still lives in the house. Here the job is one project: site photos, finish samples, materials on order, plans and permits, the site schedule and the crew's end-of-day notes.

Custom home design
A custom home is built from an architect's drawings over many months, and the builder's questions and the owners' choices come up at each stage. Here the house is one project: site visit photos, material samples, the builder's questions on a board, open to-dos and inspection dates.

Architecture competition
A competition entry has a fixed deadline, a strict list of required drawings, and a brief that can change while the team is still drawing. This project holds the site photos, the study models, each drawing on a board, three to-do lists and the review dates.
