Drawings revision register
Single source of truth for A-, S-, M-, E-, P- sheets with revision history. Re-issues notify the field; prior revisions marked for reference only.
Project architects live in construction administration: revision control, RFI turn-time, submittal review, and design issues that can't get lost when the GC marks them closed. Project architect workflows roll out with your firm on request — or when you're engaged on a GC's AOS job.
Project architects answer RFIs in five GC tools, review submittals in three different platforms, and maintain a drawings register that's whatever's on the office server. The trail is fragmented.
Each GC sends RFIs through their own platform. You answer in theirs. Your own log of what you answered, when, and what spec section it touched — lives in your inbox.
You stamp a submittal. The drawing register doesn't get updated. The next PA opens A-301 r3 and the door hardware submittal that made it possible is gone.
Drawings r3, r4, r5 — on the office server. Whoever has the most recent file is the one with the truth. The owner has r2 from January.
Site visits, owner calls, RFI answering, submittal review — they pile up, and at quarter-end someone tells you the CA fee is gone.
When your owner or GC runs AOS, you get active workflows for the things project architects do — drawings, RFIs, submittals, pay-app certification, and design-issue tracking. Full firm seats roll out on request.
Single source of truth for A-, S-, M-, E-, P- sheets with revision history. Re-issues notify the field; prior revisions marked for reference only.
Inbound RFIs threaded with drawing references. Track average turn-time per project and per person — SLA breaches surface before they bite.
Submittal log keyed to spec sections. Stamp options with redline annotations on the right PDF page. Turn-time tracked.
Field-discovered issues with site photos, location, severity, and assigned trade. The GC can't close them without your sign-off.
Time entered once, rolled up to CA hours vs. the fee budget for that phase — before the principal asks.
The pay app on screen when you're the certifying architect on a GC's AOS project. Mark percent complete, attach site photos, certify in two clicks.
AOS gives every role on the firm a screen tuned to their workflow — sharing the same record with the GC, the subs, the owner, and the design team. See how it fits the rest of your firm, or start at the architecture firms overview.
Practice dashboard, pipeline, billable hours, and profitability per project — when your firm runs on AOS.
Calc-set version control, code-compliance log, and cross-discipline review on active projects.
Pay-app certification against the schedule of values, change-order review, and a full CA audit trail.
Work alongside other parts of the project? AOS also fits commercial general contractors, owners and developers, and subcontractors on the same shared record.
