FAQ

Why do I need an application to manage as-built drawings?

Why bother with an app to manage as-built drawings? Well, it can be a game-changer, here are a few reasons why:

  • Centralised storage: You can store all your as-built drawings in one spot, which means you don’t have to worry about losing or misplacing them. Plus, everyone on the team can access them easily.
  • Real-time updates: An app allows you to update as-built drawings in real-time as changes happen during construction. That way, you always have the latest and greatest version, which helps avoid mistakes and misunderstandings.
  • Collaboration and communication: With built-in collaboration and communication tools, you can share, comment on, and discuss as-built drawings with your team. That makes it easier to make decisions and keep everyone in the loop.
  • Version control: You can keep track of changes made to as-built drawings and see the history of revisions. This is super helpful when it comes to understanding the project’s evolution and settling any disagreements.
  • Easy access and sharing: You can get to your as-built drawings from any device with internet access. That makes it simple to share them with clients, facility managers, or maintenance teams when needed.

Using an app to manage as-built drawings can help you stay organised, work better with your team, and make your construction projects run more smoothly.
