What You Are Building

Every project in GreenVee has two parallel descriptions of the work:

  • The work plan — the schedule of Segments and Tasks that tells the team how the work gets done.
  • The technical structure — the physical breakdown of the asset that tells procurement and engineering what is being built.

This section covers the technical structure side. Think of it this way:

“The work plan is the recipe. The technical structure is the dish.”

Both hang off the same Project. Neither is parent or child of the other — they are two lenses on the same endeavour.

Procurement needs to know which goods to order, in what quantities, and where in the plant they will be installed. Engineering needs a shared reference so that everyone means the same thing when they say “inverter cabinet on array 3”. The technical structure is that shared reference.

Without it, purchasing decisions float free — there is no way to trace a purchase order back to a specific location in the finished asset.

Linking a Technical Structure to a project

Section titled “Linking a Technical Structure to a project”

When you create a new project, the setup dialog includes an optional Technical Structure step. From that same step you can either search for and pick an existing Technical Structure to reuse, or create a brand new one on the spot — just give it a title, and GreenVee seeds it with a root Node to start building from.

This link is not locked in at creation: a project can start with no Technical Structure at all and have one attached later, once the design is ready.

Technical Structures The root object — one per project — and the tree of Nodes beneath it
Nodes and Requirements What you record on each Node: goods, materials, and spec requirements
Engineering to Procurement How the technical structure feeds purchasing decisions and creates traceability
