Learn how trade partners can get the most out of TPTM. 

Trade Partners

What TPTM does for you as a trade partner, how you get your links, and where to find your daily reports, portal, lot task lists, and work orders.

Getting Started

Learn how to access and use the Trade Partner Portal to check your open work, your on-time performance, reports, plans, and contacts.

Trade Partner Portal

How the daily report email and text work for trade partners, and how to read the schedule calendar, task list, and tasks-by-lot reports linked from your portal.

Daily Reports

Scan the QR code posted at a lot to see that lot's open tasks by trade, the plan files, and who to call — in English or Spanish, with no sign-in.

On Site List

What a work order means for a trade partner, how you find out about one, what the Not to Exceed amount and back charge are, and what the statuses mean.

Work Orders

Read your Schedule Calendar: one row per lot, one column per work day, and a colour for each of your task types.

Schedule Calendar Report

Manage tasks and work orders across all your lots.

Managing Work

Track unplanned work that costs money, and find it in the Work Orders list on a computer or a phone.

View, create, and manage the communities where your lots are built.

Communities

Bulk reassign incomplete tasks from one trade partner to another within a community using the Reassign Tasks drawer.

Reassign Tasks Between Trade Partners

View community statistics, manage lots (including bulk-adding them), and access community tools.

Community Details

View lot information, manage buyer details, photos, holds, and the construction timeline.

Lot Details

Manage tasks, schedule items, inspections, and procurement on a lot using the tabbed interface.

Lot Tasks & Schedule

Flag schedule milestones as pay points, then track each one from completion through confirmation to paid.

Pay Points

View, search, and manage the trade partners working with your company, including their contacts, their assigned task counts, and the Inactive tag.

See your lots on a map, find the ones nearest you in the field, and record where walks happen — by pinning communities and lots.

Community and Lot Locations

Monitor construction progression from the task to lot level.

Tracking Progress

Each lot has a lot activity timeline that shows a history of what has been happening on the lot. This timeline is an essential tool for tracking the progress and changes associated with each lot. It provides a comprehensive view of the lot's development over time.

Lot Activity

See every task across your organization in one table you can filter and group, and spot which trades, communities, or task types are running late.

Task Report

Learn how task statuses are determined and what each colored status tag and its day count mean.

Task Statuses

Learn how to use Field View — your home dashboard showing assigned lots, summary stats, and flag badges.

Field View

How TPTM calculates a lot's Build Days and its delta against the schedule template's target.

Build Days

How lot walkthroughs are recorded, the 100 ft on-site requirement, and how to review a lot's walk history.

Lot Walkthroughs

See what is going wrong across every community right now — unexplained schedule delays, homes slipping out of their quarter, struggling trade partners and quiet project managers.

Manager view

Manage scheduled tasks across all your lots.

Scheduling

Shift a lot's schedule when dates change — from a single task, by moving the whole schedule a number of working days, or by re-laying it from a template.

Adjusting schedule

Build reusable schedule templates — an ordered critical path plus sub-path tasks — and use them to schedule a lot or a whole community in one step.

Scheduling Templates

Clear every incomplete schedule task from a lot in one step from the Overall timeline, for example before laying the schedule down again from a template.

Clearing the schedule

Highlight the lot rows you are watching on the Overall timeline so they stand out in the grid, and clear them when you are done.

Lot Highlighting in the Schedule Table

Use the Trade partner timeline to see the schedule for one trade partner across every lot, sorted by when their first task starts.

Trade Partner Timeline View

Record when construction on a lot is paused with a schedule hold, so build days and reports only count the time work was actually under way.

Lot Schedule Holds

Configure TPTM to work best for your builder's needs.
