Create and Set up a new diary
An unlimited number of diaries can be used on each project. Especially on large construction projects, it can be useful to use separate diaries for each construction part (subproject). For project general information the main project diary is used in this case. Important subcontractors can run their own independent diaries. Some special construction works may demand separate diaries too. Buildary makes all these options easy to manage.
If you have a proven system how to divide your project into diaries, there is no reason to change it. Buildary will support the way of work you are used to.
