Construction document control software for UAE projects

Our project portal gives every party on a construction project one place for drawings, documents and correspondence: registers, revisions, transmittals, submittals, RFIs and approvals, with a clear record of who sent what and when.


02 — Scope

Document control, the way construction projects need it.

General file-sharing tools store documents. Construction document control needs more: numbered documents, revision history, formal transmittals between parties, and review and approval with an audit trail. That is what our portal is built for.

01

Drawing and document registers

One register per project for drawings, specifications, reports and other documents, with document numbering that follows your project's convention.

02

Revision control

Each document keeps its revision history, and the current revision is always clear, so nobody builds from a superseded drawing.

03

Transmittals

Documents are issued to other parties by formal transmittal, giving a record of what was sent, to whom, when and for what purpose.

04

Submittals and approvals

Shop drawings, material submittals and method statements move through review and approval workflows, with consultant comments and status codes recorded.

05

RFIs

Requests for information are raised, assigned, answered and closed in the portal, linked to the documents they refer to.

06

Project management

The same portal covers tasks, schedules, progress tracking, site reports and dashboards, so documents and project status sit together.

03 — Technical detail

What good document control looks like.

One source of truth

Every party works from the same register instead of their own copies in email and shared drives. The register shows the current revision and status of every document.

A complete audit trail

Transmittals, review comments, approvals and RFI responses are recorded against each document, which matters when there is a dispute, a claim or a handover.

Clear responsibilities

Workflows show who has to review or answer each item and by when, so submittals and RFIs do not sit unanswered in someone's inbox.

Ready for handover

At the end of the project, the registers, approved documents and correspondence are already organised for handover to the client or facility manager.

01 — Who uses it

Built for every party on the project.

A project portal only works if every party uses it. Ours is set up for the way contractors, consultants and developers work together on UAE projects.

Main contractors

Issue submittals and RFIs to the consultant, receive drawings and instructions by transmittal, and keep subcontractor documents organised.

Consultants

Review submittals, return comments with status codes, answer RFIs and issue drawing revisions, all with a recorded trail.

Developers and clients

See the status of documents, approvals and the project without chasing each party for updates.

Document controllers

Manage registers, numbering and transmittals in one system instead of spreadsheets and email folders.

Is your software similar to Oracle Aconex?

Yes, it is the same kind of tool: a web-based project portal where all parties share controlled documents, transmittals, submittals, RFIs and approvals. Contact us for a demonstration to see how it fits your projects.

Does it handle RFIs and submittals?

Yes. RFIs and submittals are raised, reviewed, answered and approved in the portal, with comments and status recorded.

Does it include project management?

Yes. The portal covers tasks, schedules, progress tracking, site reports and dashboards as well as document control.

Can we see it before deciding?

Yes. Contact us on WhatsApp or email to book a demonstration using workflows like yours.
