How to create a project from a stage template

Most design projects have the same stages: measurements, concept, visualisation, drawings, procurement, supervision. Instead of setting them up by hand every time, choose a template when you create the project. ArchiBoard creates the stages with tasks on the Gantt chart.

  1. 1

    Create a project

    On the home page, click «New Project» and enter a name and city.

  2. 2

    Choose a template

    Under «Project template», choose one option: «Full project» (measurements, concept, visualisation, drawings, construction schedule, supervision), «Visual part only» (measurements, concept, visualisation), «Construction & procurement only» (standard construction schedule, deliveries from the estimate) or «No template».

  3. 3

    Check the stages

    Open «Phases & schedule». The stages and tasks from the template are already on the Gantt chart. You can change dates with the keyboard or by dragging the edge of a bar.

  4. 4

    Add missing blocks

    If you later need stages from another template, for example supervision, click «Add block» in «Phases & schedule».

Good to know

  • Design stages and construction stages are shown as two separate blocks.
  • You can split the design fee across design stages in «Project finances».
  • Estimate items are linked to construction stages automatically by category.
