# How to create a project from a stage template

Source: https://archiboard.design/help/how-to/project-template

Most design projects have the same stages: measurements, concept, visualisation, drawings, procurement, supervision. Instead of setting them up by hand every time, choose a template when you create the project. ArchiBoard creates the stages with tasks on the Gantt chart.

1. **Create a project.** On the home page, click «New Project» and enter a name and city.
2. **Choose a template.** Under «Project template», choose one option: «Full project» (measurements, concept, visualisation, drawings, construction schedule, supervision), «Visual part only» (measurements, concept, visualisation), «Construction & procurement only» (standard construction schedule, deliveries from the estimate) or «No template».
3. **Check the stages.** Open «Phases & schedule». The stages and tasks from the template are already on the Gantt chart. You can change dates with the keyboard or by dragging the edge of a bar.
4. **Add missing blocks.** If you later need stages from another template, for example supervision, click «Add block» in «Phases & schedule».

- Design stages and construction stages are shown as two separate blocks.
- You can split the design fee across design stages in «Project finances».
- Estimate items are linked to construction stages automatically by category.
