ProjectSend for Architects and Engineers

The Problem: Massive Files, Multiple Stakeholders

Architecture and engineering projects generate enormous files — CAD drawings, 3D models, high-resolution renderings, specification documents. These files need to reach clients, contractors, and consultants reliably, with version control and access management.

How A/E Firms Use ProjectSend

Project-Based File Organization

Create a group for each project. Add the client, the general contractor, structural engineers, and other stakeholders. Each person sees only the files shared with them — the client gets renderings and specs, the contractor gets construction documents.

Handle Any File Size

DWG files, Revit models, and high-res PDFs can be hundreds of megabytes. ProjectSend handles them without compression or quality loss. No more splitting ZIP files across multiple emails.

Revision Management

Upload updated drawings and mark previous versions. Clients and contractors always find the latest revision at the top. The old versions stay accessible for reference — no confusion about which set of drawings is current.

Controlled Access

Not every stakeholder should see every document. Share structural calculations with the engineer but not the client. Share renderings with the client but not the electrician. ProjectSend's permissions make this simple.

Download Confirmation

When you issue a new set of construction documents, you need to know the contractor received them. ProjectSend logs every download — proof of delivery for every file.

What You Need

• A server with enough storage for your project files (most firms need 50–500 GB)
• PHP and MySQL (available on any hosting provider)
• 15 minutes to install — no IT department required

"We used to burn DVDs of construction documents. Then we switched to FTP. ProjectSend is the first solution our clients can actually use without a tutorial."
