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.

Building Information Modelling, commonly known as BIM, has taken off over the past few years as more building designers and construction project managers have come to recognise its benefits.
Construction sites are a dangerous place to work. There are always hazards that arise and continually change throughout the construction process. The fact is that safety management is the responsibility of everyone on the site, however, there are many sites that don’t have an adequate Work Health & Safety (WHS) plan in place when something does go wrong.
As competition intensifies and profit margins come under pressure, construction firms are continuously looking for ways to enhance project productivity and avoid cost and schedule overruns. Numerous approaches have been tried, including technical improvements in construction processes, new building materials and the use of technology to streamline project management.
