Typical project phases
Every build is different. These typical phases show how decisions, responsibilities and evidence stay connected as the work advances.
DECISION → WORK → EVIDENCE
Bring forward the owner decision, required information, accountable participant and proof of completion—without hiding the underlying detail.
The control system
A building project produces thousands of details. OBP is designed to keep the important relationships visible.
Bring forward the next decision, overdue evidence, approval hold point or cost change.
Keep drawings, quotes, approvals, inspections, photos and correspondence linked to the work they support.
Separate estimates, quotes, commitments, approved variations and actual spending.
Give participants access to the work they need without exposing the whole project.
Clear roles
Clarity, accountability and a defensible project record while retaining decision responsibility.
Bounded access to decisions, documents and requested deliverables.
Clear scope, current information and a direct path for evidence submission.
Coordinated oversight without taking away the owner's decision authority.
Trust by design
The pilot is deliberately bounded. Access, authority and evidence are treated as project controls—not marketing extras.
Separate project and participant authority
Recorded decision and evidence history
Human approval at material decisions
Backups and tested recovery required before activation
