The Digital Building™ CONSTRUCTION system was designed to meet the needs of contractors, developers and construction professionals for effective online project management, storage, distribution and revision of digital blueprints and other bid, contract and building-centric documents and electronic files.

The Digital Building™ CONSTRUCTION system  reduces costs and eases the process of managing projects and documents, gives clients, architects, engineers, contractors and subcontractors the ability to share important information over long distances almost immediately, makes the bid process more efficient, reduces print costs dramatically, provides version control, task and subtask assignment, and handles Preconstruction Planning / MEP Coordination, all through a user-friendly, secure, password-based system.

Construction- SYSTEM FEATURES

PROJECT CENTRIC
The Digital Building™ CONSTRUCTION system was designed at the request of our commercial and residential construction clients for a project focused view into blueprint and construction document management. Key features include the ability to create, segment and manage the documentation and timelines associated with new and ongoing construction projects. In addition, clients can assign users or temporary guest document access to anyone with an email address. Not only can you administer your Construction projects from anywhere, your contractors and subs can securely access their essential documents from around the globe.

DOCUMENT SETS
Utilizing The Digital Building™ CONSTRUCTION system, developers and contractors can instantly disseminate documents and electronically bound document sets, revisions, annotations and updates to subcontractors (as well as architects, engineers, partners, managers, and even government building departments and permitting agencies). All parties involved can collaborate online, access on-demand print capabilities, and never miss documentation thanks to our Doc Set technology, which creates an unbreakable link between any number of documents ensuring “incomplete” sets are a thing of the past.

REPORTING FEATURES
The Digital Building™ CONSTRUCTION system gives our clients the essential reporting features you need to properly manage your projects. Track who is assigned to project documentation, when they were assigned, and if / when they viewed any file under your control. Accountability is growing part of the construction industry and The Digital Building CONSTRUCTION system gives you the tools to better manage those concerns.

VERSION CONTROL & NOTIFICATION The Digital Building™ CONSTRUCTION system has powerful, built in versioning capabilities, enabling developers and contractors to organize documents and ensure that the most recent versions are made available to their construction team. In addition built in tracking and notification functions alert everyone involved in a Construction project when new documents are added or old ones are deleted. POWERFUL BID / DOCUMENT DISTRIBUTION The Digital Building™ virtually eliminates printing and shipping costs by providing for instant, global distribution of blueprints and building-centric documents. Features include the ability to mass distribute documents and bid sets, as well as provide documents to singular users. In fact, the "Guest Invite" feature, allows users to send access to designated documents, without requiring the recipient to be a designated user or have access to the associated archive (For example, when sending a prospective lessee, floorplans of their unit only). Additionally, for security purposes, these accounts can be time and date restricted so document access automatically expires without added administration burdens.

FEATURES AVAILABLE TO ALL THE DIGITAL BUILDING SYSTEMS:

EASY TO USE
A friendly, intuitive, graphical interface allows users to quickly retrieve, distribute, view and mark-up to scale, and print building documents and blueprints.

SECURE SYSTEM
Built with the highest levels of security, both on a system and document level.  Security features include, 128 Bit SSL  Encryption for all data-transmission (the same level used by major financial institutions), unique user id and password  protection and administrative control of document access and permissions.

PATENT-PENDING SCALING TECHNOLOGY
The Archaio patent pending scaling technology allows a user to immediately zoom into virtually any part of any floor of any  building in full screen resolution while maintaining accurate and complete scaled measurements similar to high-end Computer  Aided Design tools, but without the time, expense or necessity of CAD software.

FAST DOCUMENT RETRIEVAL
Powerful SEARCH capabilities allow users to QUICKLY locate desired documentation. Rather than fumbling through a room of paper-based plans, trying to find a blueprint, users can find documents by entering a keyword (simple search) or more specific search criteria (advanced search). Combined with an intensive Archaio approach to document indexing, users can find documents by building, project, description, document number, date, revision, author or other user defined fields.

INSTANT DOCUMENT DISTRIBUTION
Reduce or eliminate printing and shipping costs by providing instant, global distribution of blueprints and building-centric documents. Features include the ability to mass distribute documents, as well as provide documents to singular users. Additionally, for security purposes, these accounts can be time and date restricted.

POWERFUL MARK-UP TOOL SET
The Digital Building™ system is designed for active document use, including the ability to create "overlays", which allow  for document annotations, mark-ups, or take-offs, all fully to scale, yet without damaging or changing the underlying  document.  The included tool set includes tools for measuring and marking lines and polylines, providing area measurements  for circular, rectangular and other polygon shapes, adding text annotations, measure angles, and even hyper-linking between documents, to other web pages, or even to live building controls (such as security cameras or sensors).
