One project, unusable
Every building in one flat list. Thousands of tasks, no meaningful structure, and an engineer who cannot find today's work without scrolling for a minute.
Solutions · Campus
Eighty buildings is not eighty projects. Graftix uses a parent project with child sites underneath, so each building has its own drawings, tasks and team while the programme, the materials and the money roll up into one picture.
The problem
They were designed around a single site with a single drawing set. Run an estate through them and you end up either with one unmanageable project or dozens of disconnected ones, and no way to answer a simple question about the whole thing.

Every building in one flat list. Thousands of tasks, no meaningful structure, and an engineer who cannot find today's work without scrolling for a minute.
02
One project per building. Clean to work in, useless to report on. Every estate-wide question becomes a manual exercise in a spreadsheet.
03
Kit ordered centrally, consumed per building, reconciled never. Nobody can say where the last two hundred units went.
The structure
The parent project holds the contract, the budget and the estate-wide programme. Each child site holds one building, block or zone with its own drawings, tasks, kit and team. Work happens at the child. Reporting happens at the parent.
Materials and money
Material pools sit above the buildings and decrement as tasks in any child site claim from them. Every claim is logged against the task that used it, so the estate-wide stock figure is real rather than a periodic stocktake.
Graftix Live · £10 + VAT per device, per year
The parent and child structure exists because Brunel University London's Extreme Networks refresh, across more than eighty buildings, needed it. So does Graftix Live and its ExtremeCloud IQ connection, which puts device status from the network estate onto the drawing so verification stops requiring a site visit and a phone call, and gives the estates team their own view at graftix.live.
How Graftix Live works
In the field · Brunel University London
"Vizst is using Graftix to give engineers and project leaders live information about individual tasks. This supports consistent delivery and more accurate forecasting as work moves between buildings and around university activity."

If you are running work across more than a handful of buildings, the structure matters more than any single feature. Tell us what the estate looks like.
