LEARN HOW TO UPLOAD MULTIPLE PROJECT PLANS AND DOCUMENTS ELECTRONICALLY WITH OUR NEW CONSTRUCTION STATUS TRACKER (NCST) PORTFOLIO TOOL.

Does everyone have access to the document upload feature?

No, only NCST Portfolio users can use the document upload feature at this time. Repeat customers may register for an NCST Portfolio account at NCST Portfolio Sign Up. Once you register, you should expect to receive two emails. One to confirm your request has been made and another to notify you of account approval. This can take up to 10 business days after registration submission.

How do I know which documents I need to upload for my project?

Your SoCalGas planning representative will contact you to let you know which documents are required as needed. They may even use Project Alerts in the NCST Portfolio to let you know.

When can I add documents to my project?

You may submit project documents at any time while your project is active (displaying in the Active Projects page) in your portfolio account.

What if I am unable to find my project in my portfolio account?

If you do not see a project in the Active Projects page, check if it may be completed or canceled by viewing the Reconciled Projects page in the NCST Portfolio. If it is not completed or canceled, you may manually request to add the project to your portfolio through the Active Projects page by providing your SoCalGas project number and applicant name.
