We are a custom home builder who often has warranty costs after the job is complete. I was advised that setting up a warranty phase would allow for these costs to be tracked on the project without having to create another job in Sage to do so. Also, many times the owners hire us to maintain the home once it is completed. These costs could occur several years after the initial project is complete. Again, it was recommended that we use a maintenance phase to track and monitor these costs.

I am awaiting confirmation from your awesome technical staff that this is in fact the correct way to track these costs - I'm afraid it will impact our bonding report by bringing in the original costs on the project when its really just the costs of the added phases that should appear.

But it would be helpful if a job template included standardized phases such as pre-construction, construction, landscaping, etc. very similar to the set up in Procore..
