For Project Architects Available on request

Drawings, RFIs, submittals — on the job record, not in email.

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.

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

CA workflow designed for people who've done it.

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.

Available on request Drawings

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.

Available on request RFIs

RFI workflow with turn-time

Inbound RFIs threaded with drawing references. Track average turn-time per project and per person — SLA breaches surface before they bite.

Available on request Submittals

Submittal review

Submittal log keyed to spec sections. Stamp options with redline annotations on the right PDF page. Turn-time tracked.

Available on request Issues

Design issue tracker

Field-discovered issues with site photos, location, severity, and assigned trade. The GC can't close them without your sign-off.

Available on request Hours

CA hours vs. fee

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

Pay-app certification on the job
