Planning Project Management

Manage the project planning process with full team collaboration.

What the module does

  • Set up new projects, including buildings, departments, and rooms, and enter project information such as logos for PDF reports.
  • Import items from an existing room, department, project, or template, then customize them for the new project.
  • Assign typical rooms for quick, easy item copying.
  • Set the basis for VAT calculations on a per-project basis.
  • Select electromechanical AutoCAD symbols for the specific project, and document the project's funding source for procurement.
  • Document all project stakeholders and their contact information for email notifications, and create a project charter.
  • Set up approval hierarchies and access levels for all users to enable full collaboration.
  • Assign “Purchased By,” “Installed By,” and “Scope of Work” for each item to support comprehensive planning while managing procurement within a defined scope.
  • Assign a procurement phase (1, 2, or 3) to each item.
  • Use the built-in Meeting Management menu to create minutes and assign specific users to follow up until issues and tasks are resolved.
  • Store and retrieve all documents by document number.
  • Allocate existing items to a new project — enabling planning without procurement.
  • Assign component weights for bid evaluation.
  • Flag items that require shop drawings or have ASE/First Fix properties.
  • Mark items, components, and accessories as fixed assets, since this designation can vary by client or project.
  • Customize project specifications, including required accessories and options, and send them electronically to clients for review and approval.
  • Access a wide range of reports to support project management, from budgets to department and room listings.
  • Take advantage of flexible, stage-based budgeting that captures both CAPEX and OPEX.
  • Adjust budgets at each project stage — Concept, Preliminary Planning, Detailed Planning, Tendering, and Post-Tendering.
  • Track comprehensive costs, including cost of goods (ex-factory), freight and customs, warranty costs, standard-option asset costs, and the cost of consumables and disposables.
