Store development skills

Hugo skills for retail construction programs — permits, schedules, openings, closeout, PM/GC coordination, and pipeline status.

Note

Reference catalog. New here? Read What is Surfaice? and Skills first. Sitefolio is a construction project tracker some retailers use alongside Smartsheet or Procore.

These skills support store development and construction program teams. They typically connect to project trackers (Smartsheet, Sitefolio, Lucernex project modules), SharePoint, and email.
