One controlled source of project information for every party
A common data environment (CDE) is the single agreed platform where all project information is stored, shared and controlled through defined workflow states, instead of scattered across email and shared drives. Archdesk provides that environment with ISO 19650 states, suitability codes and naming standards, role-based permissions, revision control and a full audit trail across documents, drawings and models.

Nothing lives in an inbox
Drawings, models, contracts and correspondence sit in one repository with unlimited storage, so the answer is in the CDE, not on someone's drive.
Information moves through gates, not guesses
Files pass through work in progress, shared, published and archived states with approval at each gate, so every party knows exactly what a document's status means.
Every party sees what their role allows
Role-based permissions govern what contractors and external stakeholders can access, with a security audit trail behind every action.
The audit trail writes itself
Every revision, approval and share is recorded automatically, giving the information manager a complete record without chasing anyone.
ISO 19650 your site teams can actually use
Suitability codes, naming standards and workflow states are built into how the system works, not bolted on. The CDE satisfies your client's information requirements without slowing the site down.
