PlanCommand Benefits for Architects and Engineers

Can your company afford to be behind the curve and not utilize leading edge (not bleeding edge) technologies? Are you ready to empower your firm with a proven solution that harnesses the power of the Web for project and document management, so you can concentrate on what your company does best?

PlanCommand is a Project Document Lifecycle Application:

  • From design through project completion PlanCommand provides a common forum for all project documents, notices and revisions
  • Maximizes team productivity by providing 24/7 access to all phases of design and construction activity
  • Provides embedded tools, such as online plan viewing with zoom capabilities, online collaboration with redlining and annotation, version/revision comparisons, and file sharing that simplify daily tasks in managing documents
  • Project Administrator assigned password protection allows selectable levels of access to project files
  • Maintains an audit trail of all project activity--of who did what and when--by user and document
  • Its open-ended architecture enables an unlimited number of projects, customers and documents to be supported
  • Utilizes WebDAV encrypted web folder technology–the most advanced security system available

For the bid function, PlanCommand will:

  • Simplify the bid management process and automate redundant task
  • Manage the process of communicating “Invitation to Bid” notifications, and addenda to bidders--automatically via e-mail or fax
  • Maintain a record of all bidder activity, including the receipt and viewing of notifications and addenda as part of the project audit trail
  • Distribute print charges according to the project manager’s assigned parameters

For the build process, PlanCommand will:

  • Monitor all phases of the construction process from start to finish
  • Provide online ordering of prints from the local RSA reprographer, or one of the 120+ networked RSA print locations across the country
  • Track all change orders and construction notices
  • Create a project archive upon completion
