Document Control
Everyone builds from the same set
Manage RFIs, submittals, and drawings in one structured system so every document is linked to the right project and ready to defend your scope when it matters most.

Trusted by 1,500+ commercial contractors across North America
From field issue to formal record
No more chasing paper between field and office
Drawing-linked clarity
Pin RFIs directly to drawings so the field explains it once with full context.
Submittal confidence
Track submittal statuses and approvals so nothing stalls the install schedule.
Version control built in
Ensure every crew builds from the latest plans. No back-and-forth, no wrong revision.
Own your project record
Built for subs, not for the GC
GC portals control your access, your data, and your timeline. BuildOps gives specialty contractors a project record they actually own: structured, searchable, and available long after the job is done.

RFIs Pinned to the Plans
Create and track RFIs from the drawing itself, pinned to the exact location. The office sees the issue, the context, and the full response trail.

Structured Submittal Logs
Track every submittal with statuses, due dates, and approval workflows so questions and materials never stall the job.

Secure File Access
Give the right people access to the right documents with role-based permissions.

From foreman to finance
One source of truth for every role
Proven Results
Real-world impact for commercial leaders
What makes BuildOps different
Built from the ground up for contractors who run projects, service, and everything in between. Not adapted. Made for the work.
Commercial work isn't an add‑on
Most platforms started in residential and stretched to fit. BuildOps starts with the complexity of commercial work.
Run the work in one connected system
Field, office, finance, and sales — all in one place. No duct-taped tools, no double entry, no dropped balls.
OpsAI is built in, not bolted on
OpsAI is already in your workflows. It recaps the day, calls out risks, and gives every role a clear next step.

Connected across the platform
Document control is just the beginning
RFIs, submittals, and drawings don't live in a silo, they feed the entire Project Management Platform. Explore the modules that turn structured documentation into financial confidence.

Common Questions
Your questions on document control, answered
Do I still need the GC's portal if I use BuildOps for documents?
Yes, and that's the point. BuildOps doesn't replace Procore or the GC's system. It gives you your own project record that you control, so when the GC archives the job, your RFIs, submittals, and history stay with you.
Can my field team create RFIs on mobile?
Yes. Foremen and crews can create RFIs directly from drawings on their phone, pinned to the exact location with photos and markup. The office sees the issue in full context without a single phone call.
What happens to my project documents after closeout?
They stay in BuildOps, and are searchable, structured, and tied to the project. Unlike GC portals that lock access after the job ends, your full document trail is available for audits, disputes, and future bids.
Can I control who sees financial vs. operational files?
Yes. Project File Management includes role-based permission controls. Operational docs stay broadly accessible while sensitive financial and contractual files are restricted without losing structure or search.
How secure is our operational and financial data?
BuildOps features a bidirectional, ledger-sync engine. Data flows from the field directly into your ERP's job costing and payroll modules, ensuring Financial Truth without manual re-entry.
How do RFIs and submittals connect to change orders?
RFIs, submittals, and daily logs build a documented trail that anchors your change order requests. When the GC pushes back, you have timestamped, linked, and structured backup instead of digging through email.
How does drawing version control work?
Upload and manage drawing sets inside BuildOps. RFIs, punch items, and tasks link directly to drawing locations. When a new revision comes in, your team always builds from the current set without guesswork.
