About project and building listing rules

Project and building listing rules help maintain consistency when classifying listings within Box+Dice. These rules support accurate reporting, clearer project management, and proper use of project‑specific features.
Most agencies define their own internal criteria for what qualifies as a project listing. Applying consistent rules ensures listings appear in the correct area of the system and behave as expected throughout their lifecycle.

What qualifies as a project listing

A project listing typically represents individual properties that form part of a broader development but are still marketed separately within a structured project environment.
A listing is generally considered a project listing when it meets all of the following conditions:

• It is off the plan
• The listing status is current
• The listing is not settled
• There is no appraisal attached
• The property is not established
• The listing appears in the Projects office within the database

What qualifies as a building listing

A building listing is typically used when managing larger developments at a building level rather than property‑by‑property.
A listing is generally considered a building listing when it meets the following conditions:

• It is off the plan
• It contains more than 12 units or apartments

Building listings are often used for high‑density developments where individual property listings are managed collectively within a single building structure.
