Getting Started for General Contractors - Administrators

If you're a general contractor, use Oracle Preconstruction to find qualified subcontractors, invite them to tender on your projects, and maintain records and correspondence with them.

As an administrator for your organization, 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. See Administrator Roles and Privileges.

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:

To get started as a general contractor with administrator privileges:

  1. Get to know the tender process.

    Review the tender process to learn how general contractors and subcontractors use Oracle Preconstruction.

    Learn more about the tasks specifically available to you:

  2. Configure your organization profile.

    Check your organization profile and update it as needed.

    Learn about managing privacy settings and configure as needed.

  3. Configure your organization's default tender settings.

    These determine which file folders and trade codes are available when users set up projects and tender packages.

  4. Add users from your organization.

    When you add other users from your organization, you can decide whether to add them as administrators or non-administrators. After you add users, they receive an email invitation to log in to Preconstruction for the first time.

    It's a good idea to add another Preconstruction administrator. This will allow someone else to manage settings and restore your account if necessary.
