Each project includes four main tabs: Overview, Estimate, Documents (coming soon!), and Activity), all designed to help you stay aligned with your team. Think of it like a "hub," where you’ll track your progress, keep project files together, and see important updates from the GC.
The project “hub” at a glance
Every project opens to the Overview tab first. From there, you can easily switch between tabs to view or update key information. Any changes you make, like update the project details or scheduling, are immediately viewable by the rest of your team once saved, so you never have to worry a teammate taking action on outdated information.
“Overview” Tab
The Overview tab is your project’s home base. It shows all key project information— like due dates, location, trade needs, contact information, the architect, current status in Riffle, and much more. You can also make quick updates here, such as editing the project name, adjusting scheduling details—and if your company has multiple offices, you can edit the office Riffle automatically assigned to the project, based on it’s proximity.
“Estimate Builder” Tab
The Estimate Builder tab is where you build out your proposals and review your project pricing information. From here you can build out customized proposals for each bidding company.
You can build it line by line, with sections, quantities, and unit costs, and Riffle keeps a running grand total for you. If you would rather enter a total you built elsewhere, you can type a manual grand total instead, which disconnects the project from the builder.
Your estimate's grand total drives the pipeline data you see on the Opportunities page, so be sure it is filled in for every opportunity.

“Documents” Tab
The Documents tab is your central place to upload and organize all project-related files — drawings, specifications, addenda, or correspondence. You can rename, reorder, or remove files as needed, and everything saves automatically.

“Activity” Tab
The Activity tab provides a running feed of all updates and messages tied to the project. It automatically pulls in addendums, clarifications, and other messages from the GC related to the original ITB. You don’t need to post or reply here — it’s a live record of updates & external communication so your team can stay informed.
Why this project “hub” matters
It brings your entire team together around the same set of information. Everyone can see the same project details, estimate details, documents, and updates—making it easier to stay coordinated and confident at every stage of the bid process.
• Keep your data organized in one shared place.
• Eliminate guesswork about which version or file is current.
• Stay aligned with real-time updates from your GC.
Whether you’re an business owner, estimator, project manager, or admin, the Project hub gives you a clear, unified view of every active job.
