SMART 1.0 — Production
What you do here
Section titled “What you do here”Production is how homes get built on time: lot inquiry, master schedules, critical activities, delays, slot scheduling, and assigning builders or supers to lots.
Typical workflow
Section titled “Typical workflow”- Lot inquiry — open a lot to see contract, plan, schedule, and key dates.
- Review schedule — activities, predecessors, and critical activities that drive the completion date (see Schedules).
- Record delays — when weather, materials, or trades slip a date, enter a delay with reason codes your division requires (see Delays).
- Slot / start scheduling — place lots into production slots per community rules.
- Builder assignment — assign the responsible builder or superintendent for field execution.
Common tasks
Section titled “Common tasks”| Task | Notes |
|---|---|
| Move a start date | May require delay documentation or division approval |
| See why a lot is “stuck” | Check lot status, contract status, open delays, and incomplete activities |
| Re-sequence trades | Coordinate with project management if POs or bids are not ready |
| Release to next phase | Often tied to activity completion and inspections |
Delays and approvals
Section titled “Delays and approvals”Some delay types route through AgilePoint in SMART 2.0 instead of desktop-only entry. If you submit a delay in SMART 1.0 but approval happens in email or SMART 2.0, follow your division checklist — see SMART 2.0 Production.
Lot Definition report
Section titled “Lot Definition report”Printed Lot Definition output (options subreport / LD_Options) sorts options by option category, then option name. Column layout was adjusted to avoid blank pages in long option lists — compare paper lot definitions to on-screen selections if columns look different than older printouts.
Gotchas
Section titled “Gotchas”- Changing a critical activity can shift the projected completion date for the whole community report.
- Lot status must be in a buildable state — production cannot schedule a lot that is still in land-only status.
- Open variances or change orders may block certain activities — coordinate with PM (see Variances).
