Building a Home
Review construction alerts and requests
Role-aware alerts prioritize saved decisions and deadlines and open the exact project record.
How to use it
- Choose Build in the header or Needs attention in a construction project. Actions follow your homeowner or builder role. Dates within seven days and overdue work appear first.
- Filter actions, unread updates or due work. Open a title to reach the exact record, including older records outside the first page. Links retain the project and area across reload and browser history.
- Mark an update read after reviewing it. Its unfinished action remains until the underlying record changes. A later update becomes unread again. Read state is personal.
- In Updates & requests, describe the information needed, choose the homeowner or builder, and set a due date. Record clarification, missing documentation or an external discussion, then submit the resulting decision or evidence for owner closure.
- Use Customize project areas on Overview to hide optional tabs. Pending actions and direct links still expose their records. Refresh updates or return to the window to check current status; these alerts appear inside the application. Open Construction notification preferences to opt into a daily email or registered-device push digest. Delivery depends on deployment configuration; Builder accounts currently use email.
Active construction collaboration requires the household’s Ark+ entitlement. Household roles and builder permissions still apply. Existing history is preserved when access changes.
