Document Management Software for Contractors in Saudi Arabia

Nobody builds from a superseded drawing again.

One data model for document control across a program of projects: revision control, approval workflows and tracked distribution for drawings, models and documents. CAD, BIM and 60+ file types, with every access on the record.

Trusted by construction companies of every size, worldwide

One controlled repository, and the current revision is always found first

Document management software for contractors in Saudi Arabia carries a simple obligation: on a program of many projects, every team builds from the current revision, and every issue and approval can be shown afterwards. Archdesk gives each project a controlled repository across 60+ file types, numbers revisions automatically with change history and user attribution, and holds role-based access and distribution on the record. Every project writes to the same data model, so document status reads per project and across the whole program from one set of records.

Approvals and distribution on the record

Approval workflows with digital signatures and an audit trail of every access mean you can prove what was issued, approved and seen, and by whom.

Nobody builds from a superseded drawing

Every revision is numbered automatically with change history and user attribution, so the version site finds is the version in force.

Documents that feed the money

Quantity takeoffs run straight from drawings and 3D models into estimates, with work progress visible on the model.

Found in seconds, not on a laptop

Search filters by project, date and status, and reads the annotations inside CAD and BIM files, so the answer is in the repository, not in someone's inbox.

Documents in the same system as the money

A program of many projects runs on one data model, so the current revision, its approvals and its distribution read from the same records leadership reports from, on every project in the Kingdom.

Access Control

The right people see the right documents, and you can prove it. Permissions follow roles, and every access is on the record.

Role-based access for subcontractors

Secure sharing with external stakeholders

Digital signatures and approval workflows

Audit trail of every document access

Centralised Storage

Every drawing, contract and permit in one repository instead of five inboxes and a shared drive. Files stop going missing, and duplicates stop circulating.

Unlimited storage in a common data environment

Drawing and document registers per project

Custom metadata fields for filing and retrieval

Cloud storage with automatic backup

Large-format drawings and 60+ file types

Version Control

Every edit becomes a numbered revision with a full history. The version people find is the version in force, and superseded drawings stay out of circulation.

Automatic revision numbering on every file

Change history with user attribution

Revisions tracked on drawings and specs

Current version always found first

Search Functionality

Find the document in seconds instead of phoning around. Search covers the whole repository, including the text inside CAD and BIM annotations.

Every document indexed and searchable

Filter by project, date and status

Search inside CAD and BIM annotations

One place to look for every file

3D BIM Support

BIM models live alongside the drawings they relate to, with quantity takeoff straight from the model. The quantities come from the geometry, not a retyped spreadsheet.

Direct integration with major BIM platforms

Automated quantity takeoff from 3D models

Estimates generated from model quantities

Work progress visible in 3D

Quantity Takeoff

Measure quantities and price them directly from drawings and models. Fewer manual takeoffs, fewer errors carried into the estimate.

Quantities measured from 3D models

Automatic material calculations and pricing

Detailed quantity reports exported to Excel

Takeoff feeds the estimate directly

Compliance Tracking

Certificates and regulated documents watch themselves. Anything approaching expiry raises a flag before it holds up the job.

Automated compliance checking

Expiry notifications before documents lapse

Safety certification tracking

Templates for regulatory requirements

Frequently Asked Questions: Construction Document Management

What is construction document management software?

Construction document management software keeps drawings, contracts, permits and models in one controlled repository with revision control, approval workflows and distribution tracking, so every team works from the current version instead of a superseded copy on someone's laptop.

How does drawing revision control work in Archdesk?

Every edit becomes a numbered revision with full change history and user attribution. The current revision is always the one people find first, and superseded drawings stay out of circulation, so nobody builds from an out-of-date issue.

Which file types does Archdesk support?

Archdesk stores over 60 file types, including large-format drawings, CAD files and BIM models, with unlimited storage in a common data environment and search that reads the annotations inside CAD and BIM files.

Can subcontractors and clients access our documents?

Yes. Role-based access controls what each party sees, sharing with external stakeholders is secure and auditable, and external collaborators such as subcontractors, clients and consultants are free of charge.

How do documents connect to the rest of the project?

Documents live in the same system as your packages, change orders and valuations, and RFIs are raised and answered on the same project record. Quantity takeoffs run straight from drawings and models into estimates.

Can one document platform serve a program of many projects?

Yes. Each project keeps its own controlled register while writing to the same data model, so revision status, approvals and access read per project and across the whole program from one set of records.

How is Archdesk priced for document control at this scale?

Pricing is quote-based: pay per user, or choose an unlimited-users package priced on annual construction volume. Every quote includes all modules, unlimited data, implementation and support, and external collaborators are free of charge.
