Questions about construction project management

How does Kaliun help manage several residential jobs?

Keep each job’s schedule, assigned team, tasks, daily logs, documents, and cost records with its project. Your team can move between projects to review the work and follow up on outstanding details. For a broader view of the contractor workflow, explore Kaliun for general contractors.

How do budgeted, committed, and actual costs differ?

Budgeted costs come from project invoice line items. Committed costs are recorded expenses, including expenses created from awarded bids. When a client chooses a project allowance option, its builder cost creates the committed expense; the client price is a separate amount. Explore selections and allowances for that decision workflow. Actual costs are allocations from payments marked paid. Compare planned costs, commitments, and paid amounts in the job costing walkthrough; remaining budget is not the same as project profit.

How can I assign work to my team and trades?

Assign team members or companies to projects and schedule items, with roles and responsibilities for the work. Invite subcontractors to submit prices through a bid portal, compare their submissions against the requested line items, and award the chosen bid. Awarding creates project expense entries so the agreed trade prices become committed costs. Internal team access and subcontractor portal access serve different purposes; review the views each person needs. Explore the general contractor workflow for trade coordination.

Where do project documents and field photos belong?

Attach project files to the job and record field photos, videos, and notes in daily logs. Keeping those records together helps the office find context for site issues and client decisions. Review your sharing settings before making an update visible to a client. Explore daily logs for field documentation.

What can my team update from the mobile app?

The mobile project view includes the project overview, expenses, payments, allowances, and bids. Your team can also capture daily-log notes, photos, and videos. Use the web project schedule for Gantt and table planning; the native mobile project screen does not currently include a Schedule tab. Review the mobile app against the tasks your crew needs in the field.

How can clients see project updates?

Share selected project updates through the client portal. Daily-log entries have a client-visibility option, and you can choose to notify the linked client when sharing an entry. The portal also connects client-facing proposals, invoices, and selections. Explore the client portal workflow.

How do schedules and task dependencies work?

Plan phases, tasks, milestones, dates, and responsibilities in Gantt or table views. Dependencies and lag connect related tasks. When a dependency requires a later start, downstream dates can move later; earlier finishes do not automatically pull the entire schedule forward. Review trade availability and communicate changes as part of your planning process. Explore construction scheduling.

Where can I review Kaliun’s plans and pricing?

See the pricing page for plan and billing information. Discuss the people who need access, your project workflows, and setup requirements with the team before choosing a plan.

Is this workflow designed for remodeling projects?

The workflow focuses on residential jobs where an office and field team coordinate scopes, trade work, site updates, client decisions, and project costs. A kitchen remodel and a whole-home renovation can involve different levels of scheduling and documentation. Explore Kaliun for remodelers to see how proposals, allowances, and client choices fit together.

What should I bring to a project management walkthrough?

Bring a real project schedule, a daily update, a trade quote, and an invoice. Walk through a date change, a site issue, and a cost update to see how your team would manage each one. Request a walkthrough to review fit and setup with the team.

How is project management different from a construction CRM?

A construction CRM organizes contacts, sales stages, activities, and follow-up before and during the sales process. Project management organizes the work itself: schedules, responsibilities, field records, and costs. Kaliun connects related records across those workflows. Start with the construction CRM overview if your main need is keeping leads and proposals organized.
