Company team
Everyone who belongs to the company, with a company role and company settings.
Team and field crews
Construction Team Management
Software for the Field
Keep the company roster, access to each construction project, and field crews in separate places. Assign a project lead and group the people already on a job for planning.
Three layers
Company, Project, and Field Crew
Construkt keeps three kinds of membership apart, so a construction company can organize people without giving everyone access to every job.
Project team
The people who can open and work on one construction job.
Field crews
Optional groups of project members, organized by trade, shift, or the work they do on site.
A company member is not placed on every project. A field crew does not grant project access, and it does not replace project membership. People keep one account.
Company roster
Manage the Company Roster
The company roster lives in Manage Company, opened from Profile. It is the list of people who belong to the company, not the list of who can open a particular job.
Owner
Full control, and access to every company project. Ownership has to be transferred before the owner can leave the company.
Admin
Can manage members, invitations, security settings, and projects, and can open every company project.
Member
Field or office staff. A member can open only the projects they are assigned to.
- Search the directory and filter people by role.
- Change a person between admin and member. Owner protections still apply.
- Remove a member from the company.
- See which projects each person is assigned to.
- A member can leave the company. Ownership stays protected.
- A join code lets a new person join the company. An owner or admin can turn code joining off, or require approval first.
How many people the company can include depends on the subscription plan. When joining requires approval, the request goes through the Workflows and approvals queue. Read how approvals work
Project access
Give Every Project the Right Team
Adding someone to the company does not open every construction job for them. Owners and admins choose the company members for a job in Project Settings, under Team management.
- Select people in bulk, and search the list by name or email.
- Saving the team adds and removes members to match the people you selected.
- The person who creates the project is added to its team automatically.
- The plan can limit how many people are assigned to one project.
- Owners and admins can see every company project.
- Members can see only the projects where they are on the team.
- A person newly added to a project can get a notification that they were added.
Nobody needs a separate account for each project. Project access is a membership on that job.
Project lead
Make Responsibility Clear on Every Job
Each project can have one project lead. The same person can lead more than one project.
- Choose or clear the lead in project settings.
- The lead is marked in the project member list.
- The lead is the person accountable for that job, such as a foreman, site supervisor, or project manager.
- The lead label does not make that person a company owner or admin.
- If the lead is removed from the project team, the lead assignment is cleared.
Company role and project lead answer different questions. One is about the company. The other is about who is responsible for a single job.
Field crews
Organize Field Crews Around the Work
A field crew is an optional group of people who are already on the project team. Crews are managed in Project Settings under Field crews, or on that job’s crew screen.
- Name a crew for a trade, a shift, or another way the site is organized, such as electrical, concrete, or a morning shift.
- Add project team members. One person can be on more than one crew.
- Set a crew lead, and add an optional color and notes for the trade, shift, or specialty.
- See who is on each crew, and who on the project is not on a crew yet.
- Owners and admins can create, edit, and delete crews. Project members can view crews, not manage them.
- Deleting a crew removes the group. It does not remove the people or their place on the project.
A crew is not a separate company account, a separate project, or an access group. It only organizes people who can already open the job.
Scheduling
Turn Crew Groups Into Scheduled Work
Planning can use a field crew when you create a calendar event. Eligible members of that crew are brought into the event’s assignees in one step.
Project team
Decides who can open the job.
Crew membership
Groups those people for the way the site runs.
Event assignees
Names who is on a particular planned activity.
Construkt does not optimize shifts, resolve schedule conflicts, track workers by GPS, or connect crew assignments to payroll.
Site work
Connect Team Membership to Daily Site Work
Who is on the project decides who can take part in the work recorded on that job.
Tasks
Project tasks are assigned to members of that project.
Photos and activity
Project access decides who can open the job’s site photos and activity.
Planning
Schedule project members, or bring an eligible crew into an event in one step.
Drawings and materials
Those records stay inside the same project permissions.
Maintenance
A maintenance job can use company members as technicians. Field crews stay tied to a construction project.
Examples
How a Construction Team Can Use It
These are examples of the workflow, not stories about a particular customer.
Limit each job
A contractor keeps the full company roster, and each member only opens the jobs they work on.
Split the site
A site manager names a project lead and keeps an electrical crew and a concrete crew apart.
Schedule a crew
A foreman adds a crew to a planned activity instead of picking every eligible person one by one.
Approve new people
An owner requires approval before someone joining by code becomes part of the company.
Who is it for?
Who It Is For
The tools are for construction businesses that need a company roster, controlled access to each job, and crews for the way the site is organized.
- General contractors and construction companies
- Site managers and supervisors
- Foremen and crew leads
- Project managers
- Electrical, concrete, roofing, and other trade contractors
- Construction businesses running several projects at once
FAQ
Questions about construction teams and field crews
What is construction team management software?
It is software for organizing the people in a construction company: who belongs to the company, who can open each project, who leads a job, and how field crews are grouped. In Construkt those are separate lists.
What is the difference between a company member and a project team member?
A company member belongs to the company. A project team member is a company member who has been given access to one construction job. Being in the company does not put someone on every project.
Can company members access every construction project?
Owners and admins can. A member can open only the projects where they are on the project team.
How do I assign workers to a construction project?
An owner or admin opens Project Settings, then Team management, and selects existing company members. People can be chosen in bulk and found by name or email. Saving updates the project team to match that selection.
What is the difference between a project lead and a company admin?
A project lead is the person accountable for one job, such as a foreman or site supervisor. A company admin manages company members, invitations, security, and projects, and can open every company project. Naming a lead does not make that person an admin.
What are field crews in Construkt?
Field crews are optional groups of people who are already on a project team, organized by trade, shift, or another site responsibility. A crew does not grant access to the project.
Can one worker belong to multiple field crews?
Yes. A project member can be on more than one crew on that job.
Can I assign an entire crew to a scheduled activity?
Yes. When you create a calendar event, Planning can take a field crew and add the eligible members of that crew as assignees in one step. That assigns them to the activity. It does not change who can open the project.
Can new members require approval before joining a company?
Yes. An owner or admin can turn off joining by code, or require approval for join requests. Requests that need approval go through the Workflows and approvals queue.
Do field crews control access to project documents and photos?
No. Access to a job’s documents, photos, and other records follows project membership and company role. A field crew only groups people who already have that access.
