Building and renovation
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.
Tools: Message Board, To-dos, Docs & Files, Boards, Chat, Calendar, Check-ins
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.
Tools: Message Board, Docs & Files, Boards, To-dos, Calendar
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.
Tools: Message Board, To-dos, Docs & Files, Boards, Calendar
Hotel renovation
A hotel renovation has to finish every room, pass its inspections and hire its staff before the first guests can check in. This project holds a card for each of the 24 rooms, photos of finished rooms and the courtyard, four to-do lists and the crew's chat.
Tools: Message Board, To-dos, Docs & Files, Boards, Chat
Bridge rehabilitation
A bridge repair closes a crossing that people use every day, and the work waits on stone deliveries, inspections and the weather. Here the repair is one project: bridge and stone yard photos, a board for every new stone, the inspection dates and the masons' daily crack readings.
Tools: Message Board, To-dos, Docs & Files, Calendar, Boards, Check-ins
Solar installation
A solar installation needs a crew on the roof, an electrician at the switchgear and sign-off from the city and the utility, while the building stays open. Here the install is one project: the crew's daily log, deliveries on a board, site photos and the inspection dates.
Tools: Message Board, To-dos, Docs & Files, Boards, Check-ins, Calendar
New office build-out
A new office has to be built, wired and furnished while the team still works from the old one, whose lease ends on a fixed date. Here the build-out is one project: the rooms on a board, photos of the loft, the seating plan and move week's to-dos.
Tools: Message Board, To-dos, Docs & Files, Boards, Chat
Showroom remodel
A dealership remodel happens around customers, test rides and stock that still has to be on display. Here the remodel is one project: four lists on the progress chart, photos of the work and of used bikes, the remodel schedule and the sales floor's chat.
Tools: Message Board, To-dos, Docs & Files, Chat, Calendar
Hospital wing construction
A hospital wing is built beside patients, so each shutdown and noisy job has to be planned around them. Here a new emergency wing is one project: four lists on the progress chart, site and drone photos, the inspection calendar and a weekly check-in.
Tools: Message Board, To-dos, Docs & Files, Calendar, Check-ins
EV charging network
A charging network is several small construction jobs in towns miles apart, each waiting on its own trench, power hookup and inspection. Here the rollout is one project: a card per site on a board, the line crew's photos, the permit letters and site to-do lists.
Tools: Message Board, To-dos, Docs & Files, Boards, Calendar
Affordable housing build
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.
Tools: Message Board, Docs & Files, To-dos, Calendar, Chat
Bell tower restoration
A tower restoration sends the clock, the bell and the dial glass to different workshops, and grants and donors pay for the work. This project holds tower and clock shop photos, each part on a board while it is away, the change orders and the crane date.
Tools: Message Board, To-dos, Docs & Files, Boards, Calendar, Chat
Condo sales launch
A new condo building sells before anyone lives in it, so buyers decide from one model unit, floor plans, a price list and the street outside. This project holds the model unit and neighborhood photos, the price list, the broker preview, the open house and the to-dos.
Tools: Docs & Files, Message Board, To-dos, Chat, Calendar
Surgery suite build
Building a surgery suite means installing and testing a table, lights, gas lines and padded stalls while surgeries continue in the old room. This project holds the build's news, a weekly check-in, photos of patients and the new rooms, a board of fixes and four to-do lists.
Tools: Check-ins, Docs & Files, Boards, To-dos, Message Board
