Projects
Understand how project management works in TurfWise, from the list page to delivery and closeout
Projects in TurfWise take you from planning through to delivery and closeout. This page is your starting map. If you're new to the Projects area, read this first and then follow the links to the specific guide you need.
Projects list showing status, budget, and progress for all projects
This article refers to a live TurfWise screen. Media is omitted here so the written steps stay current across releases.
What this section does
The Projects area lets you create, plan, track, and close out capital projects and larger works. Each project has its own budget, timeline, task list, documents, and status tracking. Projects are managed through a set of connected pages, each with a specific purpose.
When would you use this?
- You're starting a new course project (bunker renovation, drainage, construction)
- You need to check the status of all active projects at once
- You're running a weekly project review meeting
- You need to prepare project information for a committee or board
- You're managing budget, timeline, and documents for an ongoing project
How the Projects pages fit together
There are five guides that cover the Projects area. If you're new, work through them in this order:
Projects List
Start here to see all your projects, filter by status, priority, and category, and decide which project needs your attention first.
Read: Projects List Guide
Project Creation
When you need a new project, this guide walks you through the creation form, including the choices that control what happens next.
Read: Project Creation
Project Details
Once a project exists, this is the day-to-day control centre. Overview, plan, budget, documents, and settings -- all managed from tabs on one page.

Project Gantt and Timeline
When you need to manage delivery dates, dependencies, and schedule risk, this guide covers the timeline view.
Project BOQ
For scope and cost structure, this guide covers BOQ generation (in-house), contractor import, and how to keep budget aligned with scope.

Which guide do I need right now?
- I want to see what's going on across all projects -- Projects List Guide
- I need to create a new project -- Project Creation

Common mistakes across the Projects area
- Jumping straight into one project without checking the full list first. You might miss a more urgent problem on another project.
- Choosing the wrong setup path when creating a project. This causes BOQ rework later. Read the creation guide carefully.
- Updating timeline dates without checking budget impact. Schedule changes usually affect spend profiles.
- Keeping project evidence in external folders. If it's not in the Documents tab, it won't be available for reporting or handover.
- Not recording updates weekly. This makes board reporting unreliable and handovers difficult.
For training new users
Walk new team members through these guides in order. Don't skip directly to Timeline or BOQ -- they need to understand the project list and creation flow first.
