Create a Master Project

Project managers from the owner, sponsor, developer, or general contractors, with appropriate privileges, can add a master project to Linarc to comprehensively cover the scope of a large-scale construction. Once added, they can break it into its components, add respective sub-projects, and assign each to the respective company.

To create a master project

• Log in to the project management portal.

The 'All Projects' opens by default.

• Click 'Master Projects' on the top.
• Click at the top right.

Enter the details as required:

• Project Name - A label to identify the master project in the Linarc platform.
• Building Type - The classification of the building based on its occupancy and use, whether it is residential, commercial, educational, etc.

• Site area - The total area of the construction site. Choose the units (sq. Ft or Sq. M) from the dropdown.
• Site Coordinates - The coordinates of the construction site with latitude and longitude in decimal degree format. The data gets auto-populated from the address.
