Module · Workflows
Coming soonWorkflows will start a proven process for Schedule, BOQ, bid comparison, or Smart Sheets - supply the documents it needs, review the proposed result, and keep the output with the project.
The problem
The same construction analysis gets repeated on every project, but rarely the same way twice.
What it costs today
When a process only exists as one person's checklist or spreadsheet, every run depends on who does it and what they remember.
Without a defined process, steps get skipped or reordered, and two people rarely produce the same result from the same documents.
Once a schedule, BOQ, or comparison exists, nobody can easily trace which source documents and inputs produced it.
What changes with Workflows
Workflows will turn repeatable construction work into a visible process with known prerequisites, a controlled run, and a reviewed project artifact at the end.
Each process will state which project and documents it needs, and what is still missing, before it runs.
A run will stop at a review step, so the schedule, BOQ, comparison, or Smart Sheet it produces is only kept once someone accepts it.
How it works
Six steps, the same way every time.
Start from the Workflows catalogue instead of a blank automation canvas.
See which project and documents the process needs, and what it will produce.
Select the correct schedule, BOQ, bid packages, or document set.
Workflows will analyze the source material and prepare the process output.
Inspect the proposed steps, findings, or results, and keep the acceptance decision with a person.
Open the resulting schedule, BOQ, comparison, or Smart Sheet in the project.
In practice
Four planned processes, each with its own inputs and output.
Schedule
Schedule source data will become a project schedule surface with critical-path context.
BOQ
Workflows will generate or structure a BOQ from the supported project documents.
Bid comparison
Supplier or subcontractor bids will be compared and the result written into a Smart Sheet for review.
Smart Sheets
Smart Sheets will open directly from the catalogue as a standalone document-to-grid process.
Product in action
Choose a process, supply the inputs, and review the result before it is kept.
Workflows walkthrough (planned)
Workflows is not built yet, so there is no screen to show. The walkthrough will cover choosing a process, supplying its required inputs, and reviewing the proposed result before anything is kept.

Process catalogue (planned)
Each process will list its required inputs and expected output before it runs, shown here as a planned catalogue view.

FIG. 02
Review step (planned)
A proposed result will wait here for a person to accept or return it before anything is kept, shown as a planned review panel rather than a live run.

Capabilities
A startable catalogue, visible inputs, and a review step before anything is kept.
Choose Schedule, BOQ, bid comparison, or Smart Sheets from a ready catalogue instead of building an automation from scratch.
Each process will show what it needs and what is still missing before it can run.
A proposed result waits for a person to accept it before it is kept with the project.
Exceptions and missing scope stay visible instead of being forced into a false match, and a rejected or canceled run leaves a clear path back to the inputs.
Using it well
A repeatable process works best when the inputs are right and a person still checks the result.
