Frequently Asked Questions
Construction drawing management software is a centralised platform for storing, organising, sharing and updating project drawings. It gives project and field teams a single source of truth and helps ensure everyone is working with the latest drawings.
Yes. With Novade, field teams can access drawings on mobile devices, add annotations, pin tasks or issues to specific locations, and collaborate in real time. Drawings can also be accessed offline when there is no internet connection.
Why bother with an app to manage as-built drawings? Well, it can be a game-changer, here are a few reasons why:
- Centralised storage: You can store all your as-built drawings in one spot, which means you don’t have to worry about losing or misplacing them. Plus, everyone on the team can access them easily.
- Real-time updates: An app allows you to update as-built drawings in real-time as changes happen during construction. That way, you always have the latest and greatest version, which helps avoid mistakes and misunderstandings.
- Collaboration and communication: With built-in collaboration and communication tools, you can share, comment on, and discuss as-built drawings with your team. That makes it easier to make decisions and keep everyone in the loop.
- Version control: You can keep track of changes made to as-built drawings and see the history of revisions. This is super helpful when it comes to understanding the project’s evolution and settling any disagreements.
- Easy access and sharing: You can get to your as-built drawings from any device with internet access. That makes it simple to share them with clients, facility managers, or maintenance teams when needed.
