HOW TO USE OUR PLATFORM
Let's Get Your Build Started!
At Build Buddy, you are 'Always in Control, Never Alone'. So, let's talk you through how we are help to help you through your build journey.
Your Tasks
We have generated your workflow based on the details provided upon sign-up. Tasks will automatically appear, as needed, to take you step-by-step through the entire building journey. These tasks have been broken down into bite-sized chunks to make them easy to understand and easy to action. Your 'tasks' section will guide you through your entire build journey by telling you:
- What you need to do
- When you need to do it
- How you will do it
- Who will do it
- the People who will do it
Each task contains information to ensure you know exactly what to do at every stage of your build. Your tasks are a crucial part of your builds progression as it keeps everything for each job in one place and statuses to help you know where you are along your journey. Once you complete a task, a new task will automatically generate. Your tasks will
always be available and easy to access, in a view that suits you.
