These are the core project management processes for project management, all well known to construction professionals. Support for these core processes will be implemented successively in future releases of Works Organiser.
Works Organiser focuses on document and task management, including support for correspondence and meetings.

Document and task sharing are fully supported in the initial release of Works Organiser.
The main features of Works Organiser are summarized below. We help you to get started with the definition of your project structures by providing example pre-configurations. Future releases of Works Organiser will include a workbook configurator.
