FAQs

What is construction document management software?

Construction document management software is software that is specialised both for document control, storage and distribution but also for the specific needs of the construction industry. For example, PlanRadar’s features allow you to upload and instantly share plans and BIM models with your entire team and also offers tools to compare and annotate plans. You also have the option to store documents like installation manuals, warranties or health & safety information within the platform. Finally, some document management software allows you to generate documentation, add e-signatures and store the resulting reports securely in the platform.

It is essential that project managers and site managers have access to project document management software so that they can make sure they are working from the most up to date documents. You may also have an in-house document manager whose role is to keep the project document management system up to date. In small companies, this role may be held by a general administrator who liaises between architects, engineers and site teams. Finally, with PlanRadar you can give subcontractors and other site-based team members access to the documents that are most relevant to them via free subcontractor accounts. When adding files, you can set custom permissions so that you keep private information private, while sharing information that your site teams need to be effective.

Construction projects are extremely complex, with hundreds of plans and plan versions, reports and other documents moving between team members every day. Document management software adds some order to this chaos, making it easier to find the information you need. Cloud-based document management software for construction also allows you to share documents in real-time with an unlimited number of people, which removes any delays that you might have experienced when sharing paper documents. You can also easily replace outdated documents with more recent versions and they’ll be automatically distributed to the relevant people.
