Contract

The foundation for all construction projects lies in the contract between the client and the contractor. Here you find all information related to price, execution, and associated descriptions. The contractor's ability to have complete overview of contract descriptions and measurement rules is one of the most important prerequisites for successful project execution. If not, you risk missing important information and documentation, which can prove to be costly.

When a Gemini Connected project with a contract is established, the contract information is available to project members, both via Gemini Terrain and in the web solution. Users can retrieve detailed information about the posts and link them to the data foundation. If services are activated, you can register quantities to Gemini QuantiFlow or Gemini Metrix.

Establishing contracts

In Gemini Connected, you can establish contracts in two ways:

  • By transfer from Gemini ProAdm
  • By import of XML files according to NS 3459 or manual establishment directly on Gemini Connected web (for projects that do not have access to Gemini ProAdm)

The two sources cannot be combined within one Gemini Connected project.

Note

If the Gemini Connected project contains multiple contracts, it is important that these are assigned Prefix on Gemini Connected web. If this is not assigned, the contracts are not read in. The prefix makes it possible in Gemini Terrain to see which contract the various posts belong to. The prefix is added in front of the individual contract posts in dropdown menus for selecting contract posts for application layer objects and mass types.

Additional work

Additions with posts developed in Gemini ProAdm can be uploaded to Gemini Connected and become available for quantity registration.

If the project does not have access to Gemini ProAdm, posts for additional work can be established on Gemini Connected web.

Additional work is listed in a separate Additions tab in the dialog Gemini Terrain Settings... - Project - Contracts - Manage contracts. The various additions and addition posts are identified with a prefix, consisting of a two-letter code for the addition type and the addition's unique number. The names of the additions are also included.

Contract posts are automatically retrieved in cloud projects that are created after the contract is established.

If you need to retrieve it manually, this is done as follows:

  1. On the toolbar, go to Gemini Terrain Settings... - Project - Contracts
  2. Check Use contracts and further Gemini Connected
  3. Click on Manage contracts to load the contract posts

Changes in contract and addition posts

Changes in contract and additional work (including option posts that are no longer optional) will be loaded every time the cloud project is opened, as well as every time you click on Manage contracts.

Contract information

The contract information will always be available under Gemini Terrain Settings... - Project - Contracts. This is also available on right-click in the dialogs for registering and documenting quantities, as well as in the mass type dialog and in the application layer's property dialog and window for S_CONTRACTPOST. From this view, you can also enter the web solution by pressing the More... button.

Contract posts and units

When use of contract posts is activated in the cloud project, you get access to all quantity-bearing contract posts and can link them to application layer geometry and mass types. The mass type/objects must be linked to a valid contract post and have the same unit as the contract post for quantities to be registered.

Application layers

For application layers, you can choose between two methods for using contract posts, Standard and Extended:

  • Standard:
    The posts listed for the different geometry types correspond to the geometry type itself: Pcs for points, m for lines, m2 for polygons, etc.

  • Extended:
    In addition to the posts in the standard method, you get access to, for example, m2 posts for lines, and can thus register the area on a closed line such as asphalt milling without converting this to a polygon. This is described in more detail in the dialog help.

Mass types

The list below shows which types of mass types are linked to which units, from longitudinal and cross sections:

  • Length: m
  • Area: m2
  • Volume: m3
  • Polygon: m3

If needed, units such as Tons and RS can be entered via the To unit field under Unit conversion.
