9/5/19 Update

Name of Laminated Vinyl Plank was changed to Luxury Vinyl Plank.

Due to LVP being tied to additional DUC it is causing issues when it is manually added or added through the community option created below.  To work around this issue we are going to be adding a NEW TASK  "Luxury Vinyl Plank - Base" which will be tied to the existing Luxury Vinyl Plank option listed below.  Please add this task to your templates if you plan on using the community option as a Community Standard Option or if manually selecting the option on the lot.

NEW TASK



UPDATED OPTION



6/18/19 Original

The option Luxury Vinyl Plank was added to help divisions who are not able to use the ASD supported codes. The use of this task will populate the Luxury Vinyl Task.  Selecting this option will not add additional DUC no matter how many rooms it is in.  

This is a COMMUNITY triggered option.






The purpose of this task is to schedule the delivery of alternative trim used with Hardie Siding.  This task is not required and is available to all divisions.  It is currently setup as a UCS option. If interested in using this new task and option please contact your Area Lead.

If this task is used it will increase the duration of the phase and could potentially delay payment of any PO created for 140M and 140U.

Task Name: Delivery - LP Trim

Phase : 140M and 140U

Option Driven : 555Xi89

Optional : Yes




The creation of this task was meant to help divisions who wanted to manage this stage of the drywall process with an individual task.  Per ORL that requested this,the task is when the drywall crew sprays the orange peel on the walls and knockdown texture on the ceilings.  This task is now available in every template’s hopper for those of you who choose to use it. If you wish to use this make sure it does not affect your phase completion in a negative manner.  If you have questions please contact your Area Lead.

Task Name : Drywall Spray

Phase(s) : 240L and 240U

Note: Since this is replacing the last day of the current Drywall task it is expected that all templates be updated by shortening the Drywall task's duration by 1 day.

Please note that the phase will have to be turned on before they are visible for this task.
