ShopDrawing facilitates the review process by automatically creating a special mirrored shop drawing folder structure, reducing the uploading and downloading time and creating automated transmittals and e-mail notifications to both consultants and contractors. The reporting tool can create reports on all aspects of the process including the quick identification of delayed reviews due to incomplete documentation or overdue releases due to slow reviews.

ShopDrawing facilitates the review process by providing participants with a consolidated, focused location to approve documentation. Once shop drawing are submitted to the specialized folder system, it mimics the function of the shop drawing review process. For instance, the on-demand transmittal generator creates transmittals between those submitting and those responsible for review and places a copy within the appropriate folder as a record. The system also provides an easy to use email notification system notifying participants of any action on the drawings. This insures drawings are promptly reviewed and re-submitted. Finally, a complete record of all documentation is maintained so that comments and markups on shop drawings are always available for a review.

A shop drawing project creation process is easy to execute using the project creation form which provides users with intuitive prompts through all the necessary steps.

 

Features include:

• On demand email notifications for review and reviewed shop drawings.

• Automated procedures to create “for review” and “reviewed” shop drawing folders to eliminate errors when dealing with large quantities of files.

• Automatically generated transmittals that list all shop drawings in the submittal, their descriptions, file dates, statuses, the transmittal creator and project information.

• Reviewed shop drawings status fields can be easily set using pre-populated value lists.

• Automatic submission folder locking feature that does not allow any shop drawings to be uploaded after e-mail notification is sent. This prevents ad-hoc updating, editing and overwriting of shop drawings.

• Shop drawing folder security providing specific access rights to contractors and reviewers. This prevents the accidental deletion, overwriting and modification of shop drawings.

• Reports for the shop drawing review status and documentation of overdue reviews.
