What is this app, in one minute

What am I doing here?

1. The Chairman wants one answer. Will the project have enough cash every quarter — and if not, how much must be arranged, and by when?
2. The app works it out from figures. Land, areas, selling rate, loan. You type those in. The app does the maths.
3. Your job is the typing, not the deciding. You enter and update figures. The Chairman runs the test and reads the result.
4. You will not see results. That is on purpose. Unless the Chairman has also given you “View”, you see forms, not answers.

What you need before you start

What should I have ready?

1. Your own login. The Chairman made a username and passphrase for you. Do not use his.
2. The project figures on paper or in a file. Plot size, FSI, built-up areas, today’s selling rate, bank loan amount, interest rate, when the loan starts, how long the project runs.
3. The order of work (only if you have it). Which step comes after which — approvals, digging, foundation, RCC, finishing, handover — with rough months and cost. Optional.
4. Any phone, tablet or computer. Open the internet browser and go to irg-rcs.com. Nothing to install.

Step 1 — Sign in

How do I get in?

1. Go to irg-rcs.com. Press the Sign in button at the top right.
2. Use “Sign in”, not “Sign on”. “Sign on” is only for the Chairman, once, to create the company account. You always use Sign in.
3. Type your username and passphrase. Then type the 6-digit code that arrives on your mobile or e-mail. Either one works.
4. You are in. The dashboard appears on the left side of the screen.

Step 2 — Open the project form

Where do I type the figures?

1. Look at the left side (the dashboard). Find the group called “Your projects”.
2. Press “Add New Project”. A form opens in the middle of the screen.
3. Already started a project? Press “Group’s Projects” instead. Then press the project’s name to open the same form with the saved figures.
4. One project = one phase or one building group. A township with three phases is three projects. The Chairman adds them together later.

Step 3 — The first four boxes

What goes in each box?

Step 4 — Land and areas

Which numbers, and in what form?

Step 5 — The bank loan

What does the bank part mean?

Step 6 — Save

How do I save, and what happens?

1. Look at the bottom of the dashboard. There is a row of buttons: Save · Upload · Download · Copy · Exit. Press Save.
2. The app checks your figures. If something is missing or impossible (a negative area, no duration), a message appears under the form. Fix it and press Save again.
3. First save = the project is registered. It gets a code such as M-03. The Chairman is told automatically.
4. Changing figures later? Write the reason. The box “Why did you change the figures?” must be filled on every update — for example “Bank sanction revised to 45 Cr, 21 Aug”. “Update” alone is not accepted.

Step 7 — The work plan and the template

What is a template? Where is it? How do I use it?

1. What it is. A ready-made list of the usual work steps in order, so you do not start from a blank page. “Mumbai residential spine” has the normal Mumbai sequence from approvals to handover. “Simple 5-step” is the shortest version.
2. Where it is. Dashboard → “Work plan — decide” → “Edit steps”. At the top of that screen there is a drop-down box called Template.
3. How to use it. Choose a template. The list of steps fills in. Change any step’s months or cost to match your project. Add a step with “+ Add step”, or leave one out. Then press “Save steps”.
4. What “After step #” means. Which step must finish before this one can start. Foundation comes after excavation, so its “After step” is the excavation row number.

Step 8 — Check that it went through

How do I know it worked?

1. Your projects → Group’s Projects. Your project is in the list, with its code and the time you saved it.
2. Account & system → Transaction Log. There is a line with your name and “T-10” (new project) or “T-11” (update).
3. Tell the Chairman the project code. He presses Run, reads the grade, and decides. Only he can run it.
4. Made a mistake? Open the project again and correct it. Remember the reason box. The old figure stays in the history; the new one is used.

Step 9 — Sign off

How do I finish properly?

1. Press “Sign off” at the top right and confirm. Your session ends. Nothing is left on the computer or phone.
2. Next time you will need your passphrase and a new code again. There is no “remember me” — on purpose.
3. Shared computer? Always sign off. If you forget, the app locks itself after 30 minutes anyway.
