The challenge

Before Part3, KONTEXT Architects was juggling construction administration using a mix of inbox folders, spreadsheets, Word templates, and manual reminders. Submittals were emailed to a dedicated inbox, processed manually, and logged individually—each one taking up to 15 minutes, not including follow-ups. With dozens of active projects in various stages, that workload quickly became unsustainable. Field reports were built in Word, where image formatting was clunky and time-consuming. As the firm grew, so did the need for a streamlined, scalable CA process.

The shift

KONTEXT discovered Part3 at an AIA conference—and it was exactly the kind of CA solution they had been searching for. They were drawn to the platform’s focus on architecture firms—and its flexibility for small teams. Part3’s submittal tools, step-based workflows, and field reporting features offered exactly what KONTEXT needed to simplify their CA process. Adoption was quick and straightforward, and delegation became easier thanks to automation and clear roles.

The results

With Part3, KONTEXT saw a 4x improvement in submittal processing time—what used to take an hour now takes just 15 minutes. The platform has eliminated redundant emails, manual logs, and time-consuming formatting. Submittals and field reports are now streamlined, searchable, and centralized. Part3’s integration with Procore made collaboration with consultants and contractors easier—automatically notifying the right parties and reducing admin follow-up. For KONTEXT, the impact is clear: more time for high-value work and a process they’ll never go back from.
