Product Proof

Screens tied to the workflow

Project drawing log
Drawing logs show current sheets, titles, disciplines, revisions, confidence, verification state, downloads, history, and edit actions.
Project drawing review queue
The review queue catches sheets that need assignment or verification before the field relies on them.
Project specification log
Specs are searchable by section, title, division, and current version.
Project specifications grouped by division
Grouped spec views let PMs and supers browse divisions the way contractors actually read a spec book.

Buyer Context

Why this matters operationally

Plan sets are not just file uploads

BuildDaily parses drawing sets into sheet rows, review queues, current revisions, and discipline downloads so the project team can find the right sheet.

Specs stay searchable

Spec PDFs become section records with division filters, project search, section downloads, and version history.

Review happens before field confusion

Needs-review rows, confidence, verification, and correction tools keep sheet numbering and titles honest before crews work from stale information.

Process

How the work moves through the module

1

Upload the set

Attach source PDFs to the project and let the drawing/spec workflows create set records, sheet rows, and section rows.

2

Clean the log

Review unassigned or low-confidence drawings, correct sheet numbers/titles/disciplines, verify rows, and preserve history.

3

Search and distribute

Search sheets and specs, filter by discipline or division, download one sheet, download a discipline package, or share the source set where needed.

Operating Rhythm

How the workflow stays moving

Where it lives

  • This module is part of the project work page, so records stay tied to the job, customer, team, files, schedule, and financial context.
  • The project navigation is the customer clue: users do not hunt for this work in a separate app. They open the project and choose the correct tab.

What a contractor can do

  • Upload drawing sets
  • Assign and verify sheets
  • Review needs-review queues
  • Open sheet history
  • Download sheets, disciplines, sets, and source PDFs
  • Refresh spec sets
  • Search specifications
  • Open divisions and sections
  • Review logs and version history
  • Revert or delete versions
