Avoid Rework with Drawing-Centric Construction Project Management Software
Traditional drawing management tools
aren't up to the task
If you use traditional tools for construction drawing management, you have probably experienced the
frustration of their limitations. In particular, three critical factors hinder the effectiveness of traditional
software tools for drawing management.
1. Traditional tools typically aren't integrated with
construction project control systems. This
shortcoming makes it difficult for your teams to
have access to the latest drawings and any RFIs that
might indicate a change — and outdated drawings
lead to expensive errors and rework.
2. Most traditional tools are licensed on a per-user
basis, making it cost-prohibitive to add all users who
need to access drawings.
3. The integration of traditional tools with building
information modeling (BIM) data is fragmented and
complex, and the tools' overall capabilities for data
management are limited. This means that your
teams don't have the latest data they need to keep
the project on schedule.
A drawing-centric construction project
management solution
Trimble ProjectSight is the industry's first software solution that provides a single platform for drawings,
project management information and collaboration for all stakeholders. Because it is built with a
drawing-centric design, ProjectSight offers several advantages over traditional tools, including:
• The ability to combine drawings with project controls
data throughout the project
• Trimble Connect, an industry-leading BIM system that
connects project controls data to 3D models
• Elimination of data duplication between data
management and BIM systems
• A single source of truth that provides the information all
parties need to both understand any questions and
provide resolutions fast
• Ease of system access in the office and in the field for all
project team members
