Your first project

Projects in Verdan represent individual job sites or construction projects. Here's how to set up your first one.

Creating a Project

  • From the dashboard, click + New Project
  • Enter the project details:

- Project Name — A clear, identifiable name (e.g., "Maple Street Tower")

- Address — Full site address for mapping and weather data

- Start Date — Expected project start date

- End Date — Estimated completion date (can be updated later)

  • Click Create Project

Configuring Project Settings

After creation, configure your project:

Access Control

  • Set who can view and manage the project
  • Assign a primary superintendent
  • Add subcontractors who will work on site

Compliance Rules

  • Set required safety certifications
  • Configure sign-in requirements (e.g., require safety orientation)
  • Enable or disable guest sign-ins

Notifications

  • Choose who receives sign-in alerts
  • Set up safety observation notifications
  • Configure daily summary emails

Generating Your Gate QR Code

The gate QR code is how workers sign in to your site:

  • Go to Project Settings > QR Codes
  • Click Generate Gate Code
  • Download the QR code image
  • Print it at a large size (recommended: 8.5" x 11" or larger)
  • Post it at your site entrance, protected from weather
