We are a small construction company and we do projects that last from a couple of hours (repairs) to several days. We use both in-house employees as well as subcontractors. We sell both fixed price projects as well as Time and Materials projects.
I am struggling with the workflow from Lead > Sales > Field Work Order > Production > Invoicing.
Does anyone have examples of workflows that work for this type of business?
Odoo tutorials would be a good place to start

Hi,
A simple and effective construction workflow in Odoo is:
Lead → Quotation/Sales Order → Job Cost Sheet / Project → Job Orders (Tasks) → Execution → Invoicing
Create a Sales Order (fixed price or time & material)
Generate a Project and Job Cost Sheet to plan materials, labour, and overheads
Create Job Orders/Tasks for field work execution
Track time (employees) and costs (materials, subcontractors) via timesheets, purchase orders, and vendor bills
Invoice based on milestones, fixed price, or actual time & materials
This approach works well for both small repair jobs and multi-day projects, while keeping sales, execution, and costing fully connected.
