Multi-Family functionality in BuildPro allows you to set up a Project and group jobs into Buildings and Floors. Multi-Family functionality also has its own scheduling management page (Multi-Family JME) which is tailored specifically for the needs of construction managers of large apartment projects, town homes, or high rise buildings.

To create multi-family jobs:

1. First, create a Project by clicking the Add Project link on the left nav of the Templates tab.

2. Then, create templates as necessary and add the templates to the Project from the Multi-Family Project Detail Page.

3. Templates may be linked by using the Multi-Family Schedule Management (Advanced View) page.

4. If you have many related tasks in the schedule, you may want to create Task Categories. These will be used on the Multi-Family JME page to allow you to start or complete similar tasks across jobs. For example, you could set up a Task Category for "Plumbing Rough". Then use the Task Category filter on the Multi-Family JME page to show only "Plumbing Rough" tasks across all jobs in the building.

5. Add jobs manually using the Add a New Job page or via integration. If creating jobs via integration confirm the Template Number has been entered for each template you plan to use.

6. From the Job Admin tab, click the Multi-Family Projects link on the left nav. After searching for the correct Project, click the numbered hyperlink in the Manage Buildings column. From this page, add buildings as necessary.

7. After adding Buildings, click the hyperlinked number in the Floors column next to a Building. This link will take you to the Multi-Family Floor Management page where you add floors.

8. After adding Floors, click the hyperlinked number in the Jobs column next to a Floor. This link will take you to the Multi-Family Job Management page where you assign jobs to a Building/Floor.

9. Repeat steps 5 through 8 until all jobs are created and assigned to a Building and Floor.

10. To manage these jobs, click the Multi-Family JME Navigation button at the top of the page or click on the Jobs tab, and click the link on the left nav.
