software

Hi

Can you not try producing something on a spread sheet or even a data base, ie Excel/Access,or perhaps on larger project, try Oracle data bases.

By using this type of software you can develop, and keep developing what you require and what the client asks for etc. If you buy in ready developed software any changes can soon become very expensive and a total nightmare to get made by the software supplier!!!

Agree with John... but if you really insist you can checkout/use software like primavera expedition...

Cheers!

i recommend Primavera Expedition for big projects.

Primavera Expedition can be used to monitor all sort of documents in the project (not only drawings), it can log all your IR, Contracts, Shop Dwg., Submittals, Letters, etc..

So i think if u will not use all these features then you can create a simple database (Access or Excel) to maintain the drawings log.

You can visit www.wrenchsolutions.com. Recently these people gave an presentation to us and it is really good for monitoring the revisions / circulations / approvals etc. online.

I am not aware of the cost but may be useful for your need.

Have u considered a web based document control system like www.projectcentre.net

basically a database is stored in Sydney and is accessed by all staff using secure id’s. Best managed by a document control team.

It’s been used on a couple of projects i’ve been involved with and works a treat. seems to be easy to access information than non web based software

I don’t know if this is what you are looking for, but I would recommend having a look at

www.docia.com

We use it extensively in our company and it saves considerably times in document handling between the Designer, Client and Contractor. Everybody can just by sign in see the newest drawings, RFI’s, CR/CO’s etc. for each project they are involved in.....very handy.
