Organization overview
Your organization is your company's workspace in Builddar. It owns your projects, your people, your branding, and the shared lists every project starts from.
What lives at the organization level
| Members | Everyone in your company, each with an organization role. |
| Projects | Every project belongs to exactly one organization. |
| Branding | Logo and brand colors, used on report covers and in emails. |
| Default language | The language used for members and outgoing emails. |
| Shared catalogs | Trades, disciplines, zone types, company types, issue title suggestions, and zone categorization lists. Projects start from these. |
| Plan | Which features are available and what the limits are. |
| Report retention | How long generated reports are kept before cleanup. |
Organization roles
| Role | What they can do |
|---|---|
| Admin | Full control. Creates projects, invites people, edits branding and catalogs, and can access every project in the organization. |
| Member | Belongs to the organization and works on the projects they're added to. |
| Guest | An external participant — a subcontractor, a client. Company-scoped, and only sees the projects they're invited to. |
note
Organization roles are separate from project roles. Someone can be an organization Member and a project Manager at the same time.
Plans and features
Your plan decides which features your organization can use, alongside limits on members, projects, drawings, and zones. Features that commonly depend on the plan:
- Custom workflow statuses and transitions
- Custom report templates and scheduled reports
- A custom issue form
- Advanced document management — versioning, approval, activity log
- Checklists
- Advanced dashboard analytics

Throughout this documentation, a :::info note like this one means the feature depends on
your plan. If you can't find it in the product, that's usually why.
Billing modes
Organizations are billed one of two ways, which changes how projects are provisioned:
- Per user — seat-based. Your plan caps how many non-guest members and projects you can have.
- Per project — drawing-based. Each project gets a drawing quota, and admins may be allowed to add credits themselves. See Upload drawings.
