Getting Started for Subcontractors - Administrators

If you're a subcontractor, use Oracle Preconstruction to receive invitations to bid and maintain records and correspondence with general contractors. When you receive an invitation to bid, you will be able to view the contact information for the organization inviting you to bid.

As an administrator for your own 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 subcontractor with administrator privileges:

  1. Get to know the bid process.

    Review the bid 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. 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.
