5. Using sub plots

Sub plots can be created from the site master record to divide the site into more manageable groups; this is particularly useful for large sites

For example, a site of 25 properties with five different property types could be divided into five sub plots

  Select the site master record and click Manage Units (bottom of screen)

  • Address (e.g. to add sub plot name)

  • Attributes

  • Price range

  • Room details, photos & floorplans
    

• Repeat the above steps to add each sub plot within the site
  

• The Developments & Land Sites screen will then display an overview of the site master and sub plots

  

6. Using individual plots

To give each plot an individual record under the site master or sub plot, individual plots can be created

This is recommended in the following situations:

• for small to medium sites where creating individual plots is manageable

• when a plot currently within a site master or sub plot becomes reserved or under offer

From the Development and Land Sites screen:
