Document Management For Construction Companies

Documents relating to all aspects of a project – Financial, Structural Engineering, Architects, Surveyors, Legal, Logistical etc. are filed under one umbrella electronic document management system.

This allows the Project Manager, or individuals involved, to see at a glance any document appertaining to a particular project

 

Why Document Management Is Important For Construction Companies

Document management software makes it easy to control documents, whether they are CAD Drawings, Word/Excel docs, PDF or virtually any other file type. Both incoming and outgoing correspondence relating to a project is filed in one place available for those with permissions to view and action it.

File Stream Document Management is a resourceful tool for management teams as any search can be filtered by for instance, a date range, then all documents for a required time period can be searched for. Alternatively, searches for other documents such as “New Instructions” over any date period can be made and the documents found in seconds.
