Rates & the working week

Used to value time against a fee. A person or a job can carry its own rate.
The denominator for utilisation.
Per person

Entry

Create the commercial folder

The short client acronym used in folder names. Remembered against the client for next time.
Folder becomes in 00.50 Commercial, copied from the year’s template.

The enquiry email(s) and anything attached to this lead are filed into 01 Request for Proposal. A lead that has no number yet is given the next one after everything in SharePoint. One folder per job — the button disappears once it exists.

Create the project folder

It is copied from ZZ. <year>-XXX_Project Delivery Template into 00.40 Projects, in the year of the job number, and takes the same name as the commercial folder — read from SharePoint, so the two always match. The transmittal register inside is renamed with the job number.

The job moves to live if it is not already. One folder per job — this button disappears once it exists.

Draft a proposal

Goes in the header block. Leave it blank if the job is not site-based.
Give a figure and it is used exactly, split across the scope. Leave it blank and one is suggested and marked as a draft in red.

It reads the enquiry email and everything held on the job, writes to the EPES structure, and saves the Word file into 02 Fee Proposal. Four to six scope items, short price schedule — a draft to edit, not to send.

The fee is never approved by this. Whatever it prints carries a red line above the Program saying so, which you delete once the figure is yours.

Who can see what

Tick the sections each person may use. The database enforces this — a login without a tick cannot read that section’s data at all. Admin sees everything and can manage this list. A person also needs a login: Supabase → Authentication → Users → Add user (same email, tick Auto Confirm).

Files

Bring files across

Pick the folder you downloaded from the SharePoint Management library (or any files). Each file is matched to a document in the register by its reference — check the matches, untick anything you don’t want, then upload.

Choosing a folder includes everything inside it. Superseded copies (SS, Archive, IMS Working Files) are unticked by default.
