Construction
Construction files move among the office, the site, consultants, subcontractors, and owners. The guides in this topic focus on drawings, specifications, RFIs, submittals, site photographs, closeout records, and the revision habits that keep the current set clear. They also address practical constraints such as large CAD files, uneven site connections, and outside recipients who need a direct way to reach the right material.
A sound project record makes it possible to tell which drawing was current, when it changed, and what information each party received. The pages cover naming, folder structure, controlled distribution, field access, and archiving without assuming that every participant uses the same software or device. Fast.io ships an MCP server, a REST API, and the CLI for teams that need to connect these file practices to their own systems.
