Tips for completing the Construction Schedule Template

What is happening?

We would like to remind you to use the latest version of the standardised construction schedule template for each project you undertake, you can find this on the Essential Connections Support page. The current version at time of publication is v1.4.14.

It is important that the information you enter into the construction schedule is accurate and to a high quality to ensure the assets are correctly created within Essential Connections. The construction schedule also creates the data capture and test forms that are used in the construction phase of the project.
