PlanRadar introduces Document Management System to streamline construction project efficiency
The intuitive new feature is set to revamp project record keeping

one of Europe’s leading digital construction, real estate and facilities management platforms, has enhanced its comprehensive suite of digital management tools with a new document management function.
The intuitive Document Management feature has been specifically designed in response to calls from existing PlanRadar subscribers for an easy-to-use, intuitive and streamlined way to collate and manage data between the in-field and back-office teams. It answers the call by offering a painless way to track, plan and document approvals to make it easier to maintain a tamper-proof audit trail and a clear picture of all sign-offs during projects. Complementing the wider PlanRadar platform, the new feature improves document organisation, versioning and collaboration, combining plans and documents into the same approval flow. Users can digitally store all project data in easy-access folders, mark up plans, share feedback and approvals on up-to-date documents and compare file revisions in real-time.
Consultancy-me’s report indicates that the Middle East is the most difficult region for construction project completion, with an average delay of 22.5 months, or 83% of the total schedule duration. The report also revealed that the average amount in dispute was $154 million, which represents over one-third of the total project expenditure. To overcome these challenges and improve project efficiency, adopting a robust document management system is essential. PlanRadar’s solution can help to streamline operations, enhance collaboration, and yield better outcomes.
The improved functionality achieved by incorporating Document Management means files and records can be accessed and shared effortlessly, helping users save time. Crucially, it offers centralised document management where everything is stored in a simple-to-search database for construction and real estate projects. Project teams can guarantee vital documents are safe, secure and easy to find on request, supporting compliance-related activities.
Acknowledging the constant evolution of software systems, the Document Management feature has also been developed with interoperability in mind. PlanRadar has created this feature to stand alone as its own document storage and management solution – purpose-built for construction and real estate professionals – or to integrate with other software customers already use. Documents from Sharepoint, Dropbox and Google Drive can be uploaded directly into PlanRadar, no-code integrations allow automatic document sharing with other software systems and an easy-to-use interface keeps onboarding fast and simple.
