Project phases

Every project has a phase, shown as the colored Status (Статус) pill in the project page header and in the project list. The phase is kept separately for each company on the project: the same project can be in Execution for the investor and in Offer sent for a subcontractor that is still waiting for an answer. You never set the phase by hand in the screens; it moves by itself when offers, contracts and budgets move.

Phase (EN / BG)Pill colorWhat it meansHow the project gets here
Budgeting / БюджетиранеGreenInvestor track. You prepare the bill of quantities (BoQ) and the budget drafts and collect prices from partners.You created the project as Investor.
Offering / ОфериранеBlueContractor track. You are pricing a client's request or preparing your own offer, often with prices from your subcontractors.You created the project as Contractor, or you accepted a client's offer request.
Offer sent / Изпратена офертаYellowYour offer is with the client and you wait for the answer.You sent an offer to the client.
Update requested / Заявена актуализацияPurpleThe client asked you to revise the offer.The client sent an offer update request. Answering it returns the project to Offer sent.
Contract proposal / Предложение за договорOrangeYour offer was accepted and a contract proposal is on the table.The client created a contract proposal for your offer.
CONTRACT DECLINED / ОТКАЗАН ДОГОВОРRedThe client declined. The offers stay available for reference.Every request on the project ended declined.
Execution / ИзпълнениеGreenWorks are contracted and running: contracts, payment applications, schedule and financial control.The contract was signed (contractor), or the investor accepted the budget.
  • An investor goes from Budgeting straight to Execution when it accepts a budget draft. The other five phases belong to the contractor's offering track.
  • If your company answers several offer requests on the same project, the project shows the most advanced phase among them, in this order: Budgeting, Offering, Offer sent, Update requested, Contract proposal, Execution. Requests that were withdrawn, replaced or expired no longer count. CONTRACT DECLINED appears only when every request on the project was declined.
  • Once a project is in Execution for your company, later offer events do not pull it back.
  • There is no phase selector in the screens. The phase follows your actions: sending an offer, receiving a contract proposal, signing a contract or accepting a budget.

What each phase shows in the project sidebar

The project sidebar is built from the project phase, your company's role in the project and your permissions. An entry that does not apply to the phase or role is not shown. An entry that applies but needs a permission you lack, or a module your plan does not include, is shown locked with a padlock; opening it shows a page that explains whether a permission or the plan is missing.

In the table, "✓" means the entry is shown in that phase. Role "Contractor" includes general contractors and subcontractors.

  • The permission names are those of the role editor and of the project team's Access level panel; see Permission reference.
  • Drafts and Budget belong to the investor; Offers belongs to the contractor. The same user never sees Drafts and Offers side by side in one project.
  • Contracting schedule is internal to the company that created the project. Other companies on the project never see it, not even locked. In some environments the module is not switched on; then the entry is missing for everyone. Work tasks and Meetings behave the same way.
  • Above the groups, the project sidebar always has the Projects (Проекти) row, which returns to the project list, and the project chip with the project name, which switches to one of your six most recently opened projects or creates a new one.
  • The work calendar is not in the sidebar. Open it with Work calendar (Работен календар) in the project page header; see Working days and holidays.

The project page layout

The project page has a header, a main column with key figures and cards, and a right column with Next steps, About the project and the File manager band. A card for a module you have no permission for is simply hidden, not locked.

  • The project logo or initials and the project name.
  • A summary line: building type · address, city · GFA {n} m² (РЗП).
  • When filled: Client (Възложител), Underground GFA (РЗП подземно), Country (Държава), Postal code (Пощенски код).
  • On the right: the phase pill and the button Work calendar (Работен календар), shown in every phase.

Next steps

The Next steps (Следващи стъпки) card starts with a banner for the most important action and continues with step rows. A step is hidden if you lack the permission of its module. Special banners win over the phase banner:

  • You have a contract proposal (Имате предложение за договор), in Execution You have a contract change proposal (Имате предложение за промяна по договор): the BoQ name and the deadline, and the button Review the contract (Прегледай договора).
  • Change-order draft in progress (Чернова на промяна по договор) with Continue editing (Продължи редакцията).
  • You have a contract update request (Имате заявка за актуализация на договора) with Make a change (Направи промяна), which creates a change-order draft and opens it.

Common questions

Why is my project in a different phase than my client's?

Each company on a project has its own phase. The investor can already be in Execution while a subcontractor that has not signed yet is in Offer sent.

The status changed by itself. Is that normal?

Yes. The phase follows your offers and contracts: sending an offer sets Offer sent, a contract proposal sets Contract proposal, signing a contract or accepting a budget sets Execution.

Why does the project show "Offer sent" when I am still pricing another request?

With several requests on one project, the project shows the most advanced phase among them.

Why don't I see Financial dashboard, Contracts with contractors or Report Register in the sidebar?

These entries appear only in the Execution phase. Accept the budget (investor) or sign the contract (contractor) first.

Why is an entry in the sidebar shown with a padlock?

The entry applies to the project, but your permissions or your company's plan do not include it. Open it to see which one; a missing permission is fixed by an administrator, a missing module by a plan upgrade.

Why can't I see the Contracting schedule?

Only the company that created the project sees it, and only from the Offer sent phase onwards, with the Contracting schedule permission. In some environments the module is not available at all.

Why is a card missing from the project page?

Cards for modules you have no permission for are hidden, and many cards belong to certain phases only. Compare with the tables above.

Why does the Construction schedule card say "No start and end date set"?

The card uses only the project's start and end dates, which are not part of the project form. Ask BORO to set them.

Where are the companies that work on my project?

The project page and the project team show only your own company's people. BORO can list every company on the project with its role.
