GETTING STARTED
How do I create my company account?
Posted on JAN 11, 2020
Simply book a demo with one of our consultants who can learn about your requirements and walk you through the platform. From there we will provide account access for you and your team to get started.
Our company has offices in multiple locations. Is it possible to create separate branches under the same company name?
Posted on JAN 11, 2020
Yes. We allow companies to create separate branches under the same company registration number to cater for multiple locations.
Which branch category should I choose?
Posted on JAN 11, 2020
Selecting a branch type helps us tailor your account to your needs. There are three branch types to choose from:
• Owners and consultants – Your company primarily manages and consults with main contractors on a project.
• Head contractors and developers – your company is regularly engaged by owners to manage or oversee the management of an entire project. This includes working with consultants and managing sub-contractors and suppliers.
• Sub-contractors and suppliers – Your company bids for work/supply associated with your speciality trade.
What is the difference between collaboration account and a management account?
Posted on JAN 11, 2020
The answer is project control.
If your company manages project documentation, engages other companies for procurement or consultancy services and oversees day to day site operations, your team will require a management account.
As a holder of a management account, you can upload unlimited number of projects on the system, have unlimited access to all the features we offer and have complete control over other companies working on your project.
On the other hand, if your company is engaged to price work or provide consultancy services for a certain aspect of a project, you can connect with the project by creating a free collaboration account.
MANAGEMENT
How do management accounts work?
Posted on JAN 11, 2020
Management accounts allow companies to create an unlimited number of projects to manage during the design, pre-construction, and construction phase. Each company account uses WeBuild to manage project documentation, the bidding process, and overall project management.
All external companies that wish to collaborate on projects can be invited and access the latest documentation through their optional free collaboration accounts or work via our system’s smart emails.
What if companies working on my project do not want to create collaboration accounts?
Posted on JAN 11, 2020
Collaboration accounts are free of charge for companies working on your project, and are also completely optional.
In the event that a company (e.g. sub-contractor) would rather not create a collaboration account, they can receive, action and respond to everything you send to them via our smart emails. When a sub-contractor replies to you via email, you will receive a notification and all correspondence will be saved and displayed in the corresponding area for your record.
Can my company be invited to collaborate on another company’s project with a management account?
Posted on JAN 11, 2020
Yes, you can be invited to collaborate on another company’s project, whether you have a management account or a free collaboration account.
COLLABORATION
How do collaboration accounts work?
Posted on JAN 11, 2020
So you have registered your company and added all your team members to your free collaboration account, what next?
In order to make use of your collaboration Account’s functionality, you must first be invited to a project by the project creator who has a management account.
Once you are given access to a project, you will be able to use your collaboration account to view project documentation shared with you, submit a quote (if invited to a tender package) and correspond with all the selected management features for the duration of the project.
Can I upgrade my company’s collaboration account to a management account?
Posted on JAN 11, 2020
Yes. If your company decides it would like to manage its own projects on the WeBuild platform, collaboration accounts can be easily upgraded to management accounts by creating a new project and selecting the right pricing package for your business.
