Get Started as a General Contractor - Administrator
If you're a general contractor, use Oracle Preconstruction to find qualified subcontractors, invite them to bid/tender on your projects, and maintain records and correspondence with them.
As an application administrator, you should also configure the application so that it is ready to use for you and other members of your organization. This topic will walk you through the steps you'll need to take in order to set up the application for your organization's use.
The order of these steps is just a suggestion - you might find a different order would better suit your organization's needs.
But first, take some time to get yourself familiar with Preconstruction and log in to the application:
