Messages - Send a message
Your project’s messages module allows your project team to easily communicate with any contact in your organisation’s address book and each other.
To send a message to a contact, follow the steps below:
Navigate to your project, go to the messages module and click the NEW MESSAGE button to start creating your message.
Click in to the search field and start typing to search for address book contacts.
Note: if the contact you are looking for is not in the list, you can add them by clicking the “ADD NEW CONTACT” BUTTON.
Type your message and add any related attachments.
You can add a file from your document register, markup and attach a plan, attach a form notice from one of your management registers or add any file from your device.
After clicking the “SEND” button, contacts will receive an email notification like the one below.
Recipients of your message can respond by replying directly from their email, or click the VIEW ONLINE button and send a reply via the messages interface.
Note: Sending a normal message to multiple contacts will start individual message threads between the creator and recipients. If you would like to start a discuss between a number of contacts, use the Group Message option.

Request for Information notices or RFIs are one of the most common, and unavoidable, admin processes for a construction project. It is always important for a contractor managing a project that RFIs are managed efficiently to minimise delays and cost overruns.
Construction collaboration is crucial for the success of any project. The sharing of knowledge and information among project participants is one of the fundamental components of a successful working relationship with the goal of completing the project on time, within budget and in accordance with specifications.
Construction is one of the global economy’s largest industries. It employs over 7 percent of the world’s workforce and involves an annual expenditure of around $10 trillion on related goods and services, representing 13% of global GDP. However, the construction industry has lagged behind other industries in improving its productivity.
