Meet ProjectFiles: Your Construction Drawing & Documentation Hub

End the hunt for current drawings. ProjectFiles automatically updates construction documentation with intelligent version control built for architects.

Sep 10, 2025

Finally, a single source of truth for your drawings (yes, really)

Picture this: You walk onto a job site, and the electrician is working from drawings that are four versions old. Sound familiar? If you're nodding your head right now, you're not alone.

For too long, architects have been stuck playing defense in construction administration. We're chasing down the latest drawings, hunting through servers, and watching general contractors control our project records. It's frustrating, risky, and frankly, it's costing us time we don't have.

That changes today.


Meet ProjectFiles: Your construction docs source of truth

ProjectFiles is Part3's new construction drawing and documentation management system—built specifically for architects who are tired of losing control of their own projects.

Here's what it does:

  • Automatic version control keeps everyone working from the latest set (no more "final_final_v3" nightmares). When you issue a revised drawing, we update the set for you.

  • AI-powered drawing detection handles the tedious stuff, like numbering, titles, and tagging—so you don't have to

  • Complete integration with your CA workflows means one system, one source of truth

Think of it as getting the driver's seat back in your own car.


Why we built this (spoiler: you asked for it)

Let's be honest—every architect has that story. Maybe it's walking onto a site and finding contractors working from outdated drawings. Maybe it's spending your weekend hunting through folders trying to find the current structural set before a Monday morning RFI deadline.

We've seen a scenario before where an architect joined a complex five-tower project mid-construction. They had no idea what the latest drawings were. No one could point them to the current set. They felt like they needed a GPS just to figure out what was happening on their own project.

Sound familiar? 

ProjectFiles eliminates that chaos by making sure the right drawings are always accessible on site, in real time, to everyone who needs them. No more playing detective with your own project files.


Built for architects (finally)

Unlike other tools that were built for contractors and retrofitted for everyone else, ProjectFiles was designed with architects in mind. It gives you:

  • Clarity: Clean, organized drawings with complete version history

  • Speed: Faster updates and changes (because overtime isn't fun for anyone)

  • Confidence: Know exactly what's current and prove it if disputes arise

  • Better profit margins: Spend less time on admin, improve your CA profitability

Plus, it integrates seamlessly with everything else you're already doing in Part3.


This is just the beginning

Here's where it gets exciting. This is more than just a file storage system. ProjectFiles is the foundation that connects your drawings to every decision being made on your project—submittals, RFIs, change orders, field reports, the works.

Why does this matter? 

Because we're laying the groundwork for something bigger: automating the entire CA phase.

Imagine submittals that automatically cross-reference the correct specs and the latest drawings. RFIs that pull from the current set without you having to hunt anything down. Change instructions that update your records instantly.

That's the future we're building—and ProjectFiles is step one.
