Frequently Asked Questions

How do clients review large blueprint and rendering files?

The portal includes high-resolution file viewers that allow clients to zoom, pan, and navigate large architectural drawings without downloading massive files. Blueprints, renderings, and 3D models are streamed securely, and clients can download full-resolution files when needed for printing or sharing with contractors.

Can clients see where their project is in the design and permit process?

Yes, the portal displays project phase dashboards showing current stage (schematic design, design development, construction documents, permitting, construction) with milestone completion status. Clients can see what's been completed, what's in progress, and what's coming next.

How do you track permit applications and approvals?

The portal includes permit tracking with application status, required documentation checklists, and approval notifications. Clients can see which permits have been submitted, which are under review, and which have been approved, reducing "where are we with permits?" inquiries.

Can clients compare different design versions and see what changed?

Absolutely. The portal maintains version control for all design documents, allowing clients to compare different iterations side-by-side. Change summaries highlight what was modified between versions, making it easy to understand design evolution and make informed approval decisions.
