Leverage construction industry-standard forms

Managing project documentation is a full-time job for many construction organizations. Between emails, shared drives, and other disparate tools, information often falls through the cracks. While some companies might have processes in place to help keep things in order, most lack a powerful online system that manages company standards and supports their efforts through automation. 

ProjectTeam.com is a leading construction project management platform designed specifically for the owner, architectural, engineering, and construction (O/AEC) industry. In ProjectTeam.com you have access to standard forms including:

  • Drawings
  • Field Reports
  • Punch Lists
  • RFIs
  • Specifications
  • Submittals
  • and more

Each form has related tools including visual workflows, action items, drag-and-drop attachments, collaborative comments, and reference links. In addition to various standard fields and tools included on each form, a full activity history is tracked so you always know who made a change and when they made that change.

Mold your system to the way you work, not the other way around

Most construction project management systems have standard forms including RFIs, submittals, drawings, etc., each with a set of fields for you to fill out. They choose what is important and you are required to mold your business processes to their static system. The result is unhappy users because either they can't find a spot for certain data or they're confused because there are too many fields.

We take a different approach.

We know there is no way we could provide forms that cover every use case possible, so we provide the basics and let you easily customize the rest. When we talk about customizing forms in ProjectTeam.com, we're really talking about two main capabilities:

1. Add custom fields to existing forms

Administrators from your organization can build upon the industry-standard forms by adding custom fields. You can add text fields, dates, tables, picklists, checkboxes, numbers, and a lot more to each of your forms. You can also assign field-level security permissions for groups and users so only the appropriate users see your fields.

2. Create custom forms

When building custom forms, you have two options; build project-specific forms or build company forms. In either case, you can add an unlimited number of fields and rearrange those fields to match your business requirements. Every custom form you build inherits the same features as the standard forms including workflows, comments, action items, reference links, and attachments.

Turn data into decisions with best-in-class reporting tools

The report and dashboard tools available in ProjectTeam.com give you deeper insight into the overall health of your projects and organization. You can run prebuilt, system reports or create custom reports to meet unique requirements. When creating reports, you can drag-and-drop tiles and fields to configure your output to include pixel-perfect styles and formatting.

Your organization can format the styles of each report in ProjectTeam.com to match your brand and make sure the information displayed is most relevant to your goals. Any custom forms or fields added to your forms can also be included in your reports and dashboards. The field-level permissions you set on forms carry forward to the reporting area guaranteeing only the appropriate users have access to the data.

Running reports in ProjectTeam.com gives you a real-time, interactive view of your data. However, any report can also be exported to file types including:

  • PDF
  • RTF (Typically MS Word)
  • MS Excel
  • CSV

The easy export ability allows you to include decision-making data in presentations, meetings, and reviews. If there are reports you find yourself regularly exporting, you can set a schedule to have specific reports automatically delivered to any email address on a recurring day and time of your choosing.
