# Locations

> Run multiple offices or branches under one XBuild company

## Working with Locations

If your business runs more than one office or branch, XBuild models that with **Locations**. Your **company** is the account — one plan, one pool of member seats, one bill. Each **Location** under it is a self-contained workspace with its own team, projects, connectors, and settings. A single-office business already has one Location. The Locations table is in [Business profile](/features/business-profile).

### 1. What's company-wide and what's per-Location

| Level                               | Includes                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |

| **Company-wide** (shared)           | **Plan and member seats** — counted per person, not per Location; a member in three Locations occupies one seat ([Member seats](/features/member-seats)). **Billing and tokens** — one subscription, one token balance, one set of invoices ([How tokens work](/plans-billing/how-tokens-work)). **Member roster and roles** — everyone appears in **Settings → Members**, and a person's role (Admin or Member) applies across every Location they can access ([Members and roles](/features/members-and-roles))                                |
| **Per-Location** (each has its own) | **Team** — the subset of members who can work there. **Projects** — each belongs to exactly one Location. **Connectors** — CRM, supplier, measurement, and weather ([Connectors overview](/connectors/overview)). **[Component packages](/features/component-packages)** and **[proposal layouts](/features/proposal-layouts)**. **[Pricing & Profit](/features/pricing-and-profit)** — margin, deposit, financing. **Business identity** — name, phone, address, website, logo, brand colors, so each branch's proposals carry its own identity |

Nothing per-Location is inherited or synced. A new Location is a blank workspace, a change in one never touches another, and two Locations that need the same packages or pricing each get the setup recreated.

### 2. Switch between Locations

The Location switcher at the top of the navigation shows your current Location.

1. Click the switcher.
2. Under **All locations**, every Location you're a member of is listed, with a check mark on the active one.
3. Click a Location to switch.

Switching swaps the whole workspace — project list, settings pages, connectors, packages, and layouts. If something "disappeared," check the switcher first. Locations you haven't been added to don't appear at all.

### 3. Add a Location

You must be an XBuild Administrator.

1. Open the Location switcher and click **Add new location** (or use the Locations card in **Settings → Business Profile**).
2. In the **Add location** dialog, enter the **Name**, **Phone**, **Website**, **Primary trade**, and address.
3. Save. XBuild creates the Location, adds you to it, and switches you into it.

Names must be unique within your company, ignoring case — XBuild rejects a duplicate and asks for another. As the creator you get access automatically; nobody else does, including other admins, until they're added. Set up the new Location while you're in it: team first, then [component packages](/features/component-packages), [proposal layouts](/features/proposal-layouts), [connectors](/connectors/overview), and [Pricing & Profit](/features/pricing-and-profit).

### 4. Control who works in each Location

Access is granted person by person, and access to one Location never implies access to another:

* **When inviting someone new**, the **Add to location** field pre-assigns their Locations; they land in those teams on accepting. See [Members and roles](/features/members-and-roles).
* **From a Location's team**, open **Settings → Team** with that Location active and click **Add member** to add any existing company member.
* **From the company roster**, open **Settings → Members**, open the **⋯** menu on a member's row, and edit the member — the Locations multi-select adds and removes them across Locations in one place. This is the fastest way to fix your own access to a Location another admin created.

A person's role is the same everywhere — you can't be Admin in one Location and Member in another. To limit someone, limit which Locations they're in.

### 5. Troubleshooting common issues

* **A Location doesn't show up in my switcher.** You're not a member. Ask an admin with access to add you — from that Location's **Settings → Team**, or from **Settings → Members** by editing your Locations.
* **My new Location has no packages, layouts, connectors, or team.** Expected — Locations start empty and inherit nothing. Configure each area with the new Location active.
* **A connector I set up isn't available on a project.** Connectors are per Location, and the project belongs to one. Switch into the project's Location and check **Settings → Connectors** there.
* **I got "A location named '…' already exists."** Names are unique per company, compared case-insensitively. Pick a distinct name.
* **Will a second Location cost more?** Locations aren't billed — plan and seats are company-wide. Adding people to more Locations doesn't use extra seats; only bringing a brand-new person onto your plan does. See [Member seats](/features/member-seats).
