e-Builder is an integrated project management and collaboration system for the construction industry. The e-Builder Contacts module provides your contact information in one centralized location.
Before you start using the e-Builder contacts module, you should familiarize yourself with some key concepts used throughout this section.
Project
Most everything in e-Builder takes place within the context of a project. Projects in e-Builder refer to the various projects that you are participating in. Each real world project is associated with a project in e-Builder. If you are working on a project, then you can be added as a member of the project in e-Builder. Your Project Administrator or Manager will be able to add you as a member of a project in e-Builder.
Contact
An e-Builder contact is a record of contact information (such as phone number, fax, email address, street address, etc.) associated with an e-Builder Company. Contacts can be stored solely as a reference or associated with Bids in the bidding module.
Company
An e-Builder company is a record of contact information (such as phone number, fax, email address, street address, etc.) for a company. There can be more than one contact associated with a company but only one company can be associated with a contact. Companies can be stored solely as a reference or associated with commitments, costs or bids in the cost and bidding modules.
