eBuild gives you the ability to invite others to participate in your project. Each project member is assigned one of three roles:

Partner

Partners have full control to manage a project and receive all project notices. The applicant is automatically designated a partner.

The primary contact for your project should always be added as a partner to ensure they receive all the communications regarding the project.

Associate

Associates can submit additional information, pay fees and see a complete listing of submittals. Associates will not be able to invite others to collaborate.

Contributor

A contributor can submit additional drawings or deferred submittals for a project and pay fess. A contributor will see a list of only their submittals. This is intended to address submittals such as fire alarm or fire sprinkler plans.

Each project can have any number of members assigned to it. Partners define the role of each member and control access to the project.

To add members to a project:

1. Log in to your eBuild account.
2. Click the Manage button for the project.
3. In the Add Members section, select the role the new member should have.
4. Enter the email address to be associated with their eBuild account.
5. Click the Add button for the role.

If the new member already has an account, they will be added to the project in the role you have designated, and they'll receive an email notifying them that they've been added to the project.

If the new member does not already have an eBuild account, they must create an account before they can be added to the project. You can elect to have the system send an email invitation to set up an account.  If the new member sets up an account within 10 days, they’ll automatically be added to the project in the role you assigned.
