Projects
Applies to version 26.99.5
Projects are the heart of REDZ.BUILD. Every site you run becomes a project that ties together your workers, attendance, materials, equipment and what the client sees.
Two ways to run a project
Rental (labour)Day-rate
Bill the client for the work your crew puts in — tracked from attendance against day-rates.
Estimate (fixed)Milestones
Agree a fixed scope billed by milestones or a single fixed price.
Inside a project
Work plan & subobjects
Break the job into stages and sub-deliverables; track weighted progress.
Geofence & QR
A location and QR code so workers can check in on site.
Rental rates
A project day-rate, with per-worker overrides where needed.
Linked costs
Purchases, materials and equipment attach to the project and its subobjects.
Project lifecycle
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Draft | Setup only — no activity recorded yet. Mode is still changeable. |
| Active | Live: accepts check-ins, reports, purchases and payroll. |
| Paused | No new activity, but still editable. |
| Completed | Closed. Re-open to record more activity. |
| Archived | Kept for reference, locked. |
| Cancelled | Abandoned. Can be resumed. |
Project reports
- Profit — revenue minus labour and materials, for a date range.
- Worker balance — labour earned, advances, fines and bonuses.
- Client balance — charged versus paid-in.

Creating a project
Create a project, pick its billing mode, link the client and set the geofence so workers can check in.
Rental vs Estimate
When to use Rental (labour by day-rate) vs Estimate (fixed scope, milestones or fixed price), and the locking rules.
Building a work plan
Structure a project into weighted stages and subobjects, track completion, and choose which stages clients can see.
Rental rates & labour
Set a project day-rate and overtime rate, override per worker with a valid-from date, and understand standard hours.
