How do I create a new project?

Projects > Add New Project

Create New Project

Follow the Wizard to set up the project.

The first window will have you select the Project Name, number of Owners (you will be able to add multiple Owner contacts for one owner).

TIP: There will only be TWO owners if you wish to have two contracts and two Owner Bills. Ex: if you are building a shell building for a developer, then you are also building out a tenant space for someone leasing space from the developer. You would have costs for the Owner A (Developer), then costs for the Build-Out for Owner B (Tenant).

The Owner A Representative is someone that can act on behalf of the Owner to sign Contract Documents, Change Orders and Owner Bills.

Will you be a Construction Manager as Advisor? Yes or No. A Construction Manager as Advisor is when the General Contractor acts as a General Contractor not at risk. Which means they are managing Subcontractors in the Owner’s name. All subcontracts, change orders and sub billings have the project Owner’s signature, but are managed by the General Contractor. Construction Manager’s benefit from RedTeam Go in every way that a regular GC would except the designee (Owner) cannot electronically sign the subcontracts or sub change orders. Subcontracts can be signed electronically by the sub and then sent to the designee (Owner) for hand signing. Sub change orders must be executed by the sub and the designee in ink. The documents can then be uploaded into the filing cabinet.

Select the Estimator for the project.
