Every sheet and clause.
Read once. Linked for good.

Drawings are registered from their title blocks, specifications are read clause by clause, and RFIs, submittals and the programme sit against them. Ask a question and the answer cites the sheet and the clause.

Every clause read once, then answered by meaning

A specification is read on upload: sections detected, confirmed by you, and the text indexed. From then on the platform answers questions from it, and a query or a submittal can cite the clause.

  • Sections navigate the PDF; the viewer opens at the clause, not page one.
  • Search by meaning across every specification on the project, not by keyword.
  • Connect links the clause to the RFI, the drawing and the submittal that rely on it.

Question from Sam Okafor · 19 Aug 2026, 10:00

A-2301 rev C omits the feature ceiling at reception but the door schedule rev B still carries the ceiling-mounted closers. Please confirm the omission is instructed before the bulkhead is framed on Monday 24 August.

Reply from R. Menon, Laird Studio · 22 Aug 2026, 10:00

Confirmed — the feature ceiling is omitted under AI-023. Proceed with the plasterboard bulkhead to detail A-2104/07. The door schedule will be corrected at rev C.

The query is the document, not a form that prints one

Raise it from the drawing you are looking at, with the clause and the mark-up attached. It reads as the receiver will read it, on your letterhead, and the reply lands on the same page.

  • The facts beside the question: location, the drawings and the clause, cost and programme impact.
  • Ball with moves on issue, on reply and on referral; the register shows age and due date.
  • Close it, or create a revision that asks again with the reply on record. Export as a PDF.

Technical submissions reviewed against the clause and the date

Each submittal cites the specification clause it answers and the programme task it gates. Your comment lands on the document; a resubmission is a revision, not a new record.

  • Approved, approved as noted, revise and resubmit: the status you gave, on the register.
  • Due dates are measured against the task on the programme, so a late resubmission reads as a programme risk.
  • Every submittal exports as a document on your letterhead.

The programme, with its logic intact

Import it from Asta Powerproject, Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project, or have the agent draft one from the project brief. Either way it is a Gantt you can interrogate: revisions, a baseline, the critical path.

  • Save revisions and hold a baseline; compare them to see what has moved.
  • Ask the agent for the critical path, the slipped tasks or a what-if.
  • Edit it like any Gantt: drag, link, indent.

Questions

How are drawings registered?
Upload the issue as PDF, PNG or JPG and the title block of each sheet is read: number, title, revision, discipline, scale and originator. You check what was read, correct anything that needs it, and publish to the register.
Are revisions tracked automatically?
Yes. When a new revision arrives, the platform finds the drawing with the same number and records the supersession. The previous revision is marked superseded, the new one becomes current, and the full history stays one click away.
What does reading a specification give us?
On upload a specification is read, split into its sections and indexed by meaning, not just by keyword. From then on a question about a requirement is answered from the text, with the clause cited, and RFIs and submittals can be linked to the clause they concern.
What happens to a drawing supplied as a DWG?
Attach the DWG to the sheet and its geometry is read: layers become a legend, rooms become named spaces, and measurements come from the vectors rather than from a scaled PDF. The PDF stays the picture; the DWG supplies the numbers.
Can we bring in the programme we already have?
Yes. Import from Asta Powerproject, Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project. The activities, the logic and the dates come across, and from there you can hold a baseline, save revisions and ask for the critical path.
Can we send things to firms outside the platform?
Yes. Drawings export with their mark-up as flattened PDFs. RFIs, correspondence and submittals export as documents on your letterhead, and registers export to Excel.
