For Project Architects

RFIs, submittals, drawings — in one register.

Project architects live in construction administration: RFIs to answer, submittals to review, drawings to update, owner calls to take. AOS gives the PA one register across every active project, with the trail every party needs.

Your reality today

Five GC platforms, one PA, one register that doesn't exist.

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.

RFIs in five tools.

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.

Submittals don't tie to the drawing.

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 register on a shared drive.

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.

CA hours bleed unseen.

Site visits, owner calls, RFI answering, submittal review — they pile up, and at quarter-end someone tells you the CA fee is gone.

What AOS does for you

One register. Every project. Every GC.

AOS gives PAs one register across every project — RFIs, submittals, drawings, owner calls, CA hours — regardless of which GC platform the contractor is using on their side.

RFIs

RFI queue across every GC

One queue of RFIs across every project. Pull from GC platforms where API access exists; manual otherwise. Spec section + drawing anchored.

Submittals

Submittal log + drawing link

Submittals tied to spec sections and drawings. When you stamp it, the drawing register reflects it. The next PA finds the trail.

Drawings

Drawings register with revisions

Drawings register with overlay annotations and revision history. Owner sees the same r-number you do.

CA

CA hours vs. fee budget

Time entered once, rolled up to CA hours vs. the fee budget for that phase. The bleed surfaces before the principal asks.

Owner

Owner-facing record

Owner gets read-only access to the RFI log, submittal log, drawings register. No more owner calls asking 'what's the status of...'

Coord

Design coordination

Structural, MEP, civil consultants all reference the same drawing. Clashes flagged before the GC's RFI lands.
