What do y'all use for document management / drawing sharing with others in the project team inc client and contractors...? I am specifically in interested in finding out about online products that teams use for collaboration and even a bit of project management....?
I've asked this question before sometime ago and am wondering if things have since developed...
Such a pity that our profession generally uses antiquated-feeling stuff like Constructware and Buzzsaw. I use Basecamp for my freelance gigs, and love it. Clients love it too.
We use Newforma. The interface is a little dated, but it works pretty well and keeps e-mail in a central place while merging duplicates. I'm not sure how expensive it is but I have a feeling it isn't cheap. I think the tipping point came when a state law from a couple years ago required archiving communications for public work.
We are about to start using Revizto for collaboration and accountability- It ties into Procore- Everything looks promising- I am curios to see how it works in real life...
For construction projects Procore is considered the most popular, but it requires a separate tool for commissioning, the best app for commissioning is Cx Observer
I used Procore for construction management for multiple large scale commercial projects.
Perhaps there are more features available on the contractor end, but architecture firms mainly use it to upload and download submittals and RFIs. It is a document control software as far as architects are concerned. (better than excel perhaps)
For a project management (not for doc control), trying Notion these days. Much better interface and features.

document management software for construction projects
Hello all,
What do y'all use for document management / drawing sharing with others in the project team inc client and contractors...? I am specifically in interested in finding out about online products that teams use for collaboration and even a bit of project management....?

Many thanks,
checkout "submittal exchange".
I LOVE LOVE LOVE BASECAMP + DROPBOX

Are we talking about sharing drawing files? Or are we talking about
managing the construction process?
Submittall exchange is nice, but expensive I think.
There is also Procore

Oh hi, spam bait.
