2.    E-Construction Onboarding for New Projects

For Autodesk Forma, projects should be created by the construction project manager/engineer at the beginning of the construction phase. If at the construction phase there has not been a project created yet, you can still follow the wiki post for Project Setup to create it in Autodesk Forma. For any members that need to be added/removed, have them contact the PM/PE to be added.

REMINDER: Assigning the correct roles in Autodesk Forma is an essential part of project setup. Please take a moment to confirm that members have the appropriate roles and that access permissions have been assigned correctly by project administrators.

For HeadLight, new projects should be requested through HeadLight’s project intake form here. To add/remove members to a project, send an email to support@headlight.com with your name, email address, role, and project that you want to be added to. Be sure to CC the PM/PE on the email request.

For HaulHub, new projects in E-DOT should be requested through the project creation form here. You should also remind the prime Contractor on your job that they need to create the project in their portal. In addition to that, the Contractor should have the supplier reach out to alex.richardson@haulhub.com to get onboarded to Haulhub’s supplier system (if not already onboarded). All projects must be using E-DOT to track material tickets.

Please reach out to the e-construction support email (econ@qrse.com) if live onboarding training is needed for a specific project.

3.     Autodesk Forma Updates

The most recent update to Autodesk Forma was in September, which was covered in the previous edition of this newsletter.

✅ 14,081 Total Tickets Processed
✅ 27 Projects Calibrated
✅ 224 Inspectors in HDOT Portal
✅ 9 Suppliers Actively Sending Data in 2026

Material Breakdown:
🔹 HMA: 7,277 (51.68%)

🔹 AGG: 3,742 (26.57%)

🚨 CONTRACTOR REMINDER

Make Sure Your Suppliers Know It’s a State Job

Accurate e-Tickets start with clear communication.

When working on a state project, it’s important to clearly communicate this requirement to all of your material suppliers before deliveries begin.

Your suppliers need to know that the project is a state job to ensure the tickets are generated with correct data [i.e. HDOT project name & number].

Why This Matters

Avoid Rework
Incorrectly generated tickets can create additional work for contractors, suppliers, and inspectors to correct the data later. If you have any questions and/or need help, please reach out to Alex at Haul Hub [alex.richardson@haulhub.com]. 


🛠️ : Unlocking more features in 2026! With the continued rise in the inspected percentage, it’s clear the foundation has been set to unlock additional feature opportunities. If you’d like to set up a training to discuss other features in your portal that have yet to be utilized, like Work Zone Safety or Connected Equipment, feel free to reach out to me at alex.richardson@haulhub.com to schedule a day/time. Or you can use this link to visit our online learning portal [Haul Hub University] with video tutorials on everything EDOT.

🎉 INSPECTION SUCCESS

A Great Comeback! We’re Back Above 95%!

Teamwork makes the difference.

A big congratulations to everyone for the outstanding response and renewed focus on e-Ticket inspections!

After experiencing a temporary dip to 88% inspected, the team stepped up, responded to outreach, and worked together to get things moving in the right direction. We’re excited to share that we’ve climbed back to 95.83% inspected!

📈 Momentum Is Back — Let’s Keep It Going!

This is a great example of what we can accomplish when everyone stays engaged and focused on the goal. Thank you to everyone who took action, followed up on outstanding tickets, and helped bring our inspection rate back up.

Now, let’s keep that momentum going and make 100% our next milestone!

Every ticket matters, and every inspection brings us one step closer.

Hana maikaʻi! 

Mahalo nui loa for your continued commitment and hard work!

Mahalo for being part of the e-Ticketing ʻohana.

5.     HeadLight Updates

This month’s highlight: Offline Login

For situations where you have low or no connectivity, you can login offline in the iPad (Fieldbook) or iPhone (Fast Capture) apps. These apps are designed to manage your connectivity in these situations to try to avoid unnecessary syncing or draining of the device battery, but sometimes you may want to specifically login offline to control this yourself. To login offline, you can do the following:

1. If already logged in, tap your initials in the upper right and then click Logout. Go to the HeadLight Fieldbook or Fast Capture Login screen.

2. Click the Login Offline button in the lower left. 

3. You will get a confirmation message asking if you want to login offline. Click Proceed.

4. This will take you into the app and allow you to record data as you normally would but without syncing. You will notice in the top right that the globe that is usually red or green to indicate your connectivity will now be grey.

5. Once you are back to an enviroment with good connectivity (ideally wifi) you will need to log out and log back in again in an online status to ensure everything that you have captured is able to sync. 

6.     HDOT Wiki Updates

As part of our mission to make the HDOT Wiki site the best possible resource for all of us, we have worked to update it with all the latest information and resources.
