Creating a project

Last updated: 23 December 2025 16:29 BST

A project is a collaborative space where you, your team, and other stakeholders work together on development. By creating a project, you can centralise all important assets in one place. You can invite stakeholders to view and interact with these assets in a shared project drive, ensuring that the right people are working on the right tasks at the right time.

  1. Log in to your VU.CITY account
    Open VU.CITY and log in with your credentials.

  2. Navigate to the projects section
    From the Hub homepage, click on the "Projects" tab to access your project management area.

  3. Start a new project
    Click the "New Project" button, at the top left of the Projects page. This button is represented with a "+" icon and is located above the list view or as the first tile in the tile/image view.

  4. Enter project information
    Fill in the required fields with your project details:
    • Project name: Provide a clear and descriptive name for your project.
    • Description: Include an overview of the project's objectives and scope.
    • Location: Specify the geographical location of the project.
  5. Upload relevant data
    Add any necessary files and data, such as CAD drawings, 3D models, and other pertinent documents.

  6. Set project preferences
    Configure the project's visibility settings. You can choose between:
    • Invite only: Only invited members can view and join the project.
    • Available to all: Any member within your organisation can join the project.
  7. Add team members
    Invite colleagues and collaborators to join your project by entering their email addresses and assigning roles.

  8. Save and launch
    Once all information is complete, click "Save" to create your project.

For detailed visual guidance, you can refer to the VU.CITY YouTube channel and our official guide for more information.
