What appeared on the site and when

One list of everything that arrives: knowledge hub articles, launched tool demos, glossary terms, and changes to the site itself. Dates come from the content registers, not from the deployment moment — an item doesn’t shift in the chronology with the next deploy.

A ready list of fields without which a construction management dashboard shows opinions instead of state. For each field: responsible role, source, and update frequency.

Excel or a custom application — where the break-even point lies

When a spreadsheet stops being enough in a construction process and how to tell. Decision criteria, hidden spreadsheet costs, and when a custom application pays off.

Seven points where information on an infrastructure contract disappears or loses credibility — and what can be done about them without deploying a system.

Terminology comparator for contracting authorities — PKP PLK, CPK, GDDKiA

A document confirming that a defined scope of works has been completed and accepted. It transfers responsibility for the scope and starts the clock on deadlines — for payment and for warranty.

Approval workflow

A defined path that a document or request follows from submission to decision: who reviews, who approves, in what order, and within what deadline.

Glossary termJul 20, 2026

As-built measurement

Determining the quantities of work actually performed, which form the basis for payment. Distinct from the bill of quantities, which states the quantities planned before execution.

Glossary termJul 20, 2026

CDE — common data environment

Common Data Environment: a single agreed-upon place for storing and sharing project documentation, with control over versions, statuses, and permissions. Not the same thing as a shared drive.

Glossary termJul 20, 2026

Construction logbook

The official record of the course of the works (dziennik budowy — the statutory site diary under Polish construction law), used to register events and circumstances relevant to assessing whether the works were executed correctly. Kept on paper or electronically (EDB).

Glossary termJul 20, 2026

Directive schedule

The master schedule of the contract, setting the time frame and milestones against which progress is measured. Detailed schedules must fit within it.

Glossary termJul 20, 2026

Material register

A structured record of the materials incorporated on a contract: what was ordered, what was delivered, what was approved for installation, and what was actually built in — together with the quality documents.

Glossary termJul 20, 2026

Work front

A delineated area of the construction site where works of a given type are carried out in a given period. The basic unit of planning and progress reporting.

Where these items come from

The stream is not a separate editorial — it is assembled from the registers that run the knowledge hub and the tools section. Each item’s title, description, and date come from the same place the page itself takes them from, so a correction in one place is visible everywhere.
