Vista Project Phases 2.0
Call them activities (HeavyBid), cost codes (HeavyJob) or phase codes (Vista): these codes are the unifying language that allows both our systems and organizations to speak to one another. From Estimating to Budgeting to Job Costing to Accounting to Historical data, having everyone speaking the same language allows us to interact with understanding and develop valuable data and reports that drive our business.
Seeing an opportunity to level up our existing phase codes, last February the M&H Ops & Estimating teams and myself set out on an almost year long project. We took input from all corners of the M&H org and came up with a new Master Phase Code list. In early January we went live with Estimating and Contracts using the new codes. As new projects are set up the Ops team will soon start seeing the new codes on their jobs. Training for the Estimating staff is complete with Ops training scheduled for the near future.
