Create a project

A project in Konkat is one site — an apartment block, a villa community, a commercial building. Everything else (plan, logs, stock, sales) belongs to a project. This article covers the Projects screen: creating, editing and copying projects.

Who can create projects#

Only people whose account type is Owner or Admin see the New project and Copy buttons. The person who creates a project becomes its Owner automatically, and nobody else can see it until they are added to its Team.

Create a new project#

1. Open Projects — in the left menu under Admin (or More → Projects on a phone).
2. Tap New project — the New project form opens.
3. Fill the basics — Project name (e.g. Sunrise Residency), Location (e.g. Kompally, Hyderabad), Start date and Planned handover (optional).
4. Give the units — under Units: Floors (counting floor 0), Units per floor, an optional Name prefix such as A-, and the Unit type (Apartment, Villa, Office, Shop or Other).
5. Check the preview — a line under the form shows how many units will be made and their names, e.g. 20 units: S01, S02, 101, …, 404.
6. Tap Create project — Konkat creates the project, its site store and the units, switches to it and opens the Plan.

How units are numbered#

Floors count up from floor 0. With 5 floors and 4 units per floor you get floor 0 (S01–S04 if floor 0 is called Stilt), then 101–104, 201–204, 301–304 and 401–404. The unit number is the floor followed by a two-digit position.

Edit a project#

On the Projects screen, Edit appears next to projects where you are Owner or Admin. It changes the Project name, Location, Start date, Planned handover and Status:

• Planning — not yet started on site.
• Active — work is going on.
• On hold — paused.
• Completed — handed over.

The same fields, plus more settings, are under Project setup → Details. See Project settings.

Copy a project#

Building the same tower again on another site? Copy saves you rebuilding the plan.

1. Tap Copy next to the project you want to copy.
2. Name it — New project name (it starts as the old name + “(copy)”), Start date and Location.
3. Choose the units — tick Generate new units and give Floors, Per floor and Prefix, or untick it to copy the original project’s flats.
4. Choose the team — tick Copy the team and their roles to bring the same people across.
5. Tap Copy project.

The copy has the whole plan — tasks, links, durations, materials lists and rooms — shifted to the new start date. Progress, logs and photos are not copied. After that the two projects are independent; changing one never changes the other.

Floor names (all projects)#

The Floor names panel on the Projects screen, visible to Owners and Admins, sets what floor 0 is called on every project: Floor 0 is called (e.g. Stilt) and a short label of up to three letters (e.g. S). Tap Save. Konkat then says “Stilt floor” everywhere and names floor-0 units S01, S02….

Units and tasks made before the change keep their old names. To rename them, open Project setup → Units and tap Rename existing names…. Konkat shows every unit and task name that will change before you confirm.

Common questions#

Can I delete a project?#

Not from the Projects screen. Set its status to Completed or On hold instead. Ask your administrator if a test project really needs removing.

I created the project with the wrong number of floors.#

Fix the units under Project setup → Units using Replace units on these floors, or delete whole floors from the units table. See Floors and units.
