Work Packages

Your contract container for road maintenance projects

What is a Work Package?

A Work Package is your contract container. It groups survey runs, defines project scope, generates Bills of Quantities, and tracks progress claims through the entire project lifecycle. Think of it as the central hub where all contract data lives.

How do I create a Work Package?

  1. Navigate to Work Packages from the main navigation
  2. Click the "New Work Package" button
  3. Enter a package name (required) — this is your contract identifier
  4. Optionally add a package number (e.g., PKG-2026-001)
  5. Click "Create"
Quick Start: You can add contract details, dates, and financial settings later from the Settings tab. Start with just a name to quickly set up the work package.

How do I link surveys to my Work Package?

Survey Runs contain the field data (videos, GPS tracks, tagged assets, road segments) that feed into your work package. Link existing surveys or create new ones.

  1. Open your work package and go to the Surveys tab
  2. Click "Link Survey" to see available surveys
  3. Select the surveys that belong to this contract
  4. Set precedence if surveys overlap (higher precedence wins)
Why Survey Precedence Matters

When multiple surveys cover the same road section, the system uses precedence to determine which measurements to use. Survey with higher precedence (lower number) takes priority. This prevents double-counting in BQ generation.

How do I define the work scope?

Scopes define which parts of the road are included in your contract. This filters which survey data is relevant.

  1. Go to the Scopes tab
  2. Click "Add Scope"
  3. Enter road number, chainage start and end (e.g., KM 0+000 to KM 15+000)
  4. Optionally specify direction (increasing/decreasing/both)

Contiguous Scope

FT001: KM 0+000 to KM 50+000

Single continuous stretch

Non-Contiguous Scopes

FT001: KM 10+000 to KM 25+000
FT001: KM 40+000 to KM 55+000

Multiple segments on same road

What are the status stages?

Work packages progress through a defined workflow. Each status transition is logged for audit purposes.

Draft
Surveying
BQ Draft
Submitted
Awarded

Complete

Pre-Award

  • Draft — Initial setup
  • Surveying — Field data collection
  • BQ Draft — Quantities being prepared
  • Submitted — Sent to client

Post-Award

  • Awarded — Contract awarded
  • In Progress — Work underway
  • Complete — Final account settled

Best Practices

DO
  • Link all surveys before generating BQ
  • Define scopes to filter relevant data
  • Set survey precedence for overlapping coverage
  • Add contract details in Settings for complete records
DON'T
  • Generate BQ before all surveys are linked
  • Delete surveys that have been used in claims
  • Change scope after BQ is locked
  • Link one survey to multiple work packages

What Auditors Will Ask

"Which surveys contributed to this BQ?"
Go to Surveys tab — see all linked surveys with their precedence and coverage dates.
"What is the contract scope?"
Go to Scopes tab — see road numbers, chainage ranges, and directions.
"When was the BQ submitted?"
Check work package status history and Audit Logs for timestamps.
