As-built drawing register

Job register

Which sheets exist, who marked each one up, what changed on it, and where it has got to.

An index, not a set

The as-built package is a status problem disguised as a document problem. Twenty sheets marked up by six subcontractors, three of whom have gone home. What is needed is a list of which sheets exist and who has each one — which is a register, and it belongs beside the drawings rather than inside them.

It stores no drawings

No file is uploaded, held or read. Nothing checks one drawing against another. The tool holds the number, the title, the revision, who marked it up, what was changed and where it got to.

Around it

Manuals are the O&M manual tracker and everything owed at the end is the closeout checklist. Shop drawings going out for review are the submittal log.

An administrative index. It stores, reads and verifies no drawing of any kind, and records only what you tell it about each sheet. Everything runs on your device.

Questions people ask

Can I upload the drawings?
No, and that is deliberate rather than a limitation waiting to be lifted. No CAD file, PDF or image is uploaded, held or read by this product. Drawings live in your document system; this is the index beside them that says which sheets exist and who is holding each one.
Why keep a register at all if I have the drawings?
Because the question at closeout is never “where is A-201” — it is “which sheets have actually been marked up, by whom, and which are still sitting with a subcontractor”. That is a status question about a set, and a set of files does not answer it.
Does it check the drawings against anything?
It does not. Nothing here reads a drawing, compares revisions or verifies that a mark-up is correct. It records what you tell it about each sheet.
What are the stages?
The submittal vocabulary: not sent, submitted, approved, revise and resubmit, and closed. As-builts move through review exactly the way submittals do, and giving them their own near-identical set of words would have been vocabulary for its own sake.
