The Erection feature in Fabritec allows teams to track and update the site installation progress of project items after they have been shipped and delivered to the work site.

It extends Fabritec’s execution visibility beyond production and shipping, helping teams monitor what has been produced, shipped, delivered, and finally erected on site.

Using Erection, you can:

Activate erection tracking for specific projects

Track items across production, shipping, delivery, and erection stages

Confirm delivery receipt at the work site

Update erected quantities per item

Perform bulk erection updates for multiple items

View item details before updating erection progress

Monitor delivered, erected, and remaining quantities

Export erection progress to Excel or PDF

The Erection feature ensures that site installation progress remains connected to the same project, phase, item, and shipping data already managed inside Fabritec.

Go to Projects.

Click Add Project.

Fill in the project information:

Job Number

Project Name

Customer

Scope of Work

Sales Name

Folders Structure

Select Include erection.

Click Create Project.

After the project is created, the Erection page becomes available inside the project.

Erection Workflow

The Erection workflow starts after the normal production and shipping process.

The standard flow is:

Production → Shipping Yard → In Transit → Delivered but not erected → Erected

Each status represents the current operational position of the item.

Status	Description
Production	The item is still under production or has not yet reached the shipping flow.
Shipping Yard	The item is completed and available in the shipping yard.
In Transit	The item has been shipped but has not yet been confirmed as delivered to the work site.
Delivered but not erected	The item has arrived at the work site but has not been erected yet.
Erected	The item has been installed or erected on site.

Confirming Delivery to Site

Before an item can be updated as erected, the related shipment must first be confirmed as delivered to the work site.

This is done from the Shipping page.

Confirm Delivery Steps

To confirm that a shipment has arrived at the work site:

Open the project.

Go to Shipping.

Locate the required dispatch.

In the Actions column, click the Confirm Delivery icon.

The Confirm Delivery popup will open.

Enter the Delivery Date.

Click Delivered.

After delivery is confirmed, the related items move into the erection workflow as Delivered but not erected.

Erection Page

The Erection page is the main workspace for tracking and updating site erection quantities.

Navigate to:

Projects → Select Project → Erection

At the top of the page, you can select:

Project

Phases

This allows users to focus on a specific project and one or more selected phases.

Main Actions

The Erection page includes the following actions:

Delivered but not erected

Displays items that have arrived at the work site but still need to be erected.

This is the main working tab for site teams when updating erection progress.

Erected

Displays items that have been fully erected on site.

When the erected quantity equals the delivered quantity, the item progress becomes 100% and the status changes to Erected.

Erection Table Columns

The Erection page displays item-level erection data in a structured table.

Column	Description
Building	The building or model related to the item.
Phase	The phase linked to the item.

Erected: Quantity already erected on site

Remaining: Quantity still pending erection

Example before update:

Delivered: 111
Erected: 0
Remaining: 111

Example after update:

Delivered: 111
Erected: 111
Remaining: 0

When the remaining quantity becomes zero, the item progress becomes 100%.

Updating an Item as Erected

You can update the erection progress of a single item from the Actions column.

This is used when a specific item has been erected on site and the quantity needs to be recorded in Fabritec.

Steps to Update a Single Item

Navigate to Projects → Select Project → Erection.

Open the Delivered but not erected tab.

Locate the item you want to update.

Click the purple Update button in the Actions column.

The Update popup will open.

Review the item information:

Mark

Phase

Enter or confirm:

Operation DateTime

Qty

Click Save.

After saving, Fabritec updates the erected quantity and recalculates the remaining quantity and progress percentage.

Field	Description

Phase	The related project phase. This field is filled automatically by the system.
Operation DateTime	The actual date and time of the erection update.
Qty	The quantity erected on site.
Units	The quantity unit used for the update.

Important Update Rules

Only update quantities that were actually erected on site.

Do not enter a quantity greater than the delivered remaining quantity.

Use the correct operation date and time for accurate tracking.

If multiple items were erected together, use Bulk Update instead of updating each item one by one.

Bulk Update

The Bulk Update feature allows users to update multiple erected items at once.

This is useful when several marks are erected during the same site activity or on the same date.

When to Use Bulk Update

Use Bulk Update when:

Multiple items were erected at the same time

A site team completed several marks during one operation

You need to save time instead of updating items individually

You want to apply the same operation date and time to multiple records

Steps to Use Bulk Update

Navigate to Projects → Select Project → Erection.

Select the required items using the checkboxes.

Click Bulk Update.

Set the Operation DateTime at the top of the screen.

Review each item row:

Mark

Phase

Operation DateTime

Qty

Adjust quantities if needed.

Click Save for individual rows, or click Update All to update all selected items.

Click Close when finished.

Bulk Update Fields

Field	Description
Operation DateTime (apply to all)	Applies the same operation date and time to all selected items.
Mark	The item mark selected for update.
Phase	The phase linked to the item.
Operation DateTime	The operation date and time for each item.
Qty	The quantity to be marked as erected.
Actions	Allows the user to save or remove an item from the update list.

Erection Progress Logic

Erection progress is calculated based on delivered quantity and erected quantity.

Example:

Total Qty: 111
Delivered: 111
Erected: 0
Remaining: 111
Progress: 0%

After updating the erected quantity:

Total Qty: 111
Delivered: 111
Erected: 111
Remaining: 0
Progress: 100%

When the full delivered quantity is erected, the item status becomes Erected.

Confusing Delivered with Erected.

Updating the wrong phase when multiple phases are selected.

Using single update for many items instead of Bulk Update.

Best Practices

Activate Include erection only for projects that require site installation tracking.

Confirm delivery immediately when items arrive at the work site.

Use Delivered but not erected as the main working view for site updates.

Use Bulk Update for multiple items erected during the same site activity.

Review Item Details before updating items with unclear quantities.

Keep project and phase filters accurate to avoid updating the wrong records.

Export erection data regularly for project progress meetings.

Ensure site teams update quantities based on actual erected work, not planned work.
