Construction and real estate
An architecture firm's real work sits in drawing sets, revisions and client sign-offs that move faster than a shared drive can track.
Why It Matters
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.
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.
What It Covers
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.
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.
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.
What's Included
Approval status visible per drawing, so the latest signed-off version is never in question.
Billing tied to the project stage a drawing set belongs to, not tracked separately from design work.
Structural, MEP and other consultant drawings tracked against the same project and revision structure.
Approvals, permits and compliance records kept against the project they belong to, ready for reference.
How It Works
Step 1
We review how drawings, revisions and approvals move through your current projects.
Step 2
We agree the ERP, software and AI pieces needed for your drawing sets and billing stages.
Step 3
Version control, approval tracking and billing links are built and tested against your drawings.
Step 4
The system goes live on an active project and is watched closely through the first review cycle.
Step 5
The same team stays available for support as new projects, drawings or consultants come on.
A building contractor ran each site on its own spreadsheet, so overruns showed up at handover and billing was a monthly scramble. ERPNext put BOQ, procurement, billing and cost on one system.

We build ERP integration, custom software and AI automation for architecture firms, so drawing revisions, client approvals and project billing are tracked in one connected system instead of email threads and shared drives.
No. The system connects to your existing ERP or project system rather than replacing it. We add the drawing revision and approval tracking your current setup does not cover, and feed that data back into it.
Every drawing is tracked by drawing number and revision, with a status of Draft, Under Review or Approved, so you can see exactly which version a client signed off on and which revision superseded it.
Most engagements move from mapping your current drawing and approval workflow to a working pilot within a few months. Exact timeline and scope are confirmed after reviewing your current project and drawing set.
The same team that builds the system stays available for support, fixes and changes as your projects, consultants or drawing volume grow.
Yes. Most architecture engagements combine ERP integration for billing and finance, custom software for drawing and approval tracking a generic module does not cover, and AI for flagging overdue reviews, scoped as one project.
