Return to Construction
The purpose of the call forward programme is to record the scheduling of trades and suppliers as the job progresses through the construction stage. The Call Forward Programme screen displays every call forward item for the current job, its trade and supplier allocations, and the progress of the call forward item over time.

The Call Forward Programme includes four views:

  • Call Forward Programme (Summary): Displays call forward information in a summary format for an overview of the job's call forward programme.

  • Call Forward Programme (Detailed) (default): Displays detailed call forward information about the job.

  • Call Forward Analysis: Displays data for the call forward Allowance and Completion Allowance fields that analyse the number of days it has taken for an activity to be called and completed.

  • Call Forward Programme (Labour): Displays the call forward items that are identified for labour requirements. A coloured bar identifies these specific trade items. The labour view quickly identifies the activities required for labour allocation.
