Document Management and Plan Sharing
There is a great opportunity to raise efficiency in construction document management and plan management for residential builders and
developers, especially during the bidding and contracting phase of a new project. Creating and distributing bid
packages involves printing high-cost sets of plans for every trade, mailing them to all qualifying trade partners
and suppliers, or scheduling time to meet with each trade partner in your office to hand off and explain
packages. Making changes to construction plans makes construction data management a tedious and expensive process, requiring printing
of all new blueprints and re-distributing them to all trade partners and suppliers.
BuildTopia allows you to take control of document management and plan sharing with the Document
Management Module. With centralized document management and bid package creation, you can manage
the distribution of documents, bid packages, plan updates and construction punchlists automatically
to all of your trade partners online, simplifying construction project management.
The Document Management module allows you to maintain “one version of the truth” for all project documents
via home construction software that is immediately accessible to authorized staff and external trade partners.
