Add or edit a building

Add a building when a new property is leased for housing. The form records where the building is and how it is laid out; its units and rooms are then added on the building page. A building can also be created from the new contract wizard.

From the side menu, open Properties › Buildings and click Add building. To edit a building, click Edit on the building page or the pencil icon in the list.

Fields
