Drawing Revisions and Approvals, Tracked to the Version
An architecture firm's real work sits in drawing sets, revisions and client sign-offs that move faster than a shared drive can track. TCB Infotech builds the version control and approval tracking that keeps every drawing tied to its project stage and billing, connected to your existing ERP or project system.
50+ ERP and software projects. Zero failed projects since 2021.
Built Around How a Drawing Set Actually Moves
A drawing set does not wait for a status meeting to change. TCB Infotech tracks every revision and approval as it happens, so the latest version is never a question.
Drawing number, revision and approval status in one place
Instead of the latest drawing living wherever it was last emailed, every drawing is tracked by number and revision, with a status showing whether it is still in draft, sent for review, or signed off by the client.
- Drawing number and revision tracked together.
- Approval status visible without a status call.
- Superseded revisions kept, not overwritten.
Drawing status connected to project billing and your ERP
ERP integration keeps client billing and finance in your existing system, custom software covers drawing and approval tracking a generic module does not, and AI automation flags a review sitting too long before it delays a project stage.
- ERP integration for billing and finance data.
- Custom tracking for drawings and approvals.
- AI automation for overdue review alerts.

How We Track Drawings, Approvals and Billing for Your Practice
From a first draft to a signed-off revision to a stage invoice. Here is how TCB Infotech keeps every drawing and approval connected to your project.
Version Control, Approval and Billing, in That Order
Every drawing tracked by number, revision and status
Drawings are logged by drawing number and revision letter, with a status of Draft, Under Review or Approved, so anyone on the project can confirm the current version without asking around.
- Drawing number and revision tracked as one record.
- Status visible without a status meeting.
- Superseded revisions kept for reference, not deleted.
Approval history kept against every drawing, not an inbox
Each drawing carries its own approval history, so a client sign-off is recorded against the exact revision it applied to, and a later dispute over "which version did they approve" has an answer on record.
- Sign-off recorded against the exact revision.
- Approval history kept per drawing, not per email.
- Overdue reviews flagged before they hold up a stage.
Site visits and billing tied to the same project stage
Site visit notes and snags are logged against the drawing and stage they relate to, and billing is tied to that same stage structure, so an invoice reflects work actually signed off, not just time elapsed.
- Site visit notes linked to the relevant drawing.
- Billing tied to stage completion, not elapsed time.
- Compliance records kept against the project on file.
