Construction document management with project-scoped folders and linked references

Folders, uploads, and linked references across RFIs, tasks, and inspections - one place for submittals, photos, and job documents that stays discoverable.

Construction Software

Files & Document Management

This is a construction document management tool with project-scoped folders, linked attachments, quick preview, and role-based permissions. It keeps submittals, photos, specs, and job documents connected to RFIs, tasks, and inspections - replacing shared drives and email attachments with searchable, traceable storage.

WorkHub

Part of WorkHub

  • Folder structure by discipline, phase, or contract section with nested paths
  • Linked attachments from tasks, RFIs, and inspections without duplicate uploads
  • Quick preview for PDFs, images, and Office docs with search across large jobs
  • RBAC-aligned permissions and activity attribution for audit trails

The problem

Dropbox folders do not know your RFIs

When job documents live in shared drives without project context, attachments get uploaded twice - once to email, once to the folder. When staff changes, nobody knows which file ties to which RFI or task. Keep files project-scoped with links into registers so attachments stay discoverable after turnover and handover does not depend on tribal knowledge.

From upload to reference - without duplicate storage

A clear path for job documents that stay connected to the work they support.

  1. 01

    Create folder structure

    Organize by discipline, phase, or contract section once - nested folders support trade-specific paths.

  2. 02

    Upload documents

    Drag files into folders or attach directly to RFIs, tasks, and inspections - one upload, many references.

  3. 03

    Link to work

    Reference files from tasks, RFIs, and inspections without duplicate uploads - context stays attached across modules.

  4. 04

    Search and handover

    Find documents by name or module reference. Closeout exports include linked files without folder archaeology.

Documents tied to work

  • Folder structure

    Organize by discipline, phase, or contract section - your call per project. Nested folders support trade-specific organization.

  • Linked attachments

    Tasks, RFIs, and inspections reference files without duplicate uploads - one source, many references, no orphaned context.

  • Quick preview

    Open common formats in-app before download - PDFs, images, and Office docs readable without leaving the browser.

  • Permissions

    Respect project roles - subs see what they should, not everything. Commercial folders stay gated to authorized users.

  • Activity

    Upload and share events appear in the project activity log - file changes are attributable and searchable.

  • Search

    Find filenames and metadata across large jobs - no guessing which folder or revision the PM uploaded last week.

Deep dive

Closeout-ready organization

Structure folders once; link work items as the job progresses. Handover and audit trails stay intact without rebuilding the story.

  • Table and grid views for PM and field preferences
  • Type icons (PDF, image, Office) for quick scan
  • Deep links from tasks and RFIs to attached files

We stopped emailing PDFs and hoping someone saved them in the right folder. Files in WorkHub link to RFIs and tasks - handover took half the time because the context was already there.

FAQ

File management FAQ

How documents stay connected to the work they support.

Construction document management software organizes project files in folders with permissions and links documents to work items like RFIs, tasks, and inspections - so attachments stay discoverable after staff turnover and handover does not depend on memory.

Tasks, RFIs, and inspections can reference files without duplicate uploads - one source, many references. Links preserve context so new PMs inherit file history instead of guessing which PDF matters.

Yes. Common formats (PDFs, images, Office docs) open in-app for quick review before download - practical for mobile and field use.

Yes. Folders respect project roles - subs see trade-specific documents, commercial files stay gated, and owners see read-only exports without edit access.

Yes. Full-text search finds filenames and metadata across folders. Filter by type, upload date, author, and linked module reference - no guessing which folder or revision you need.

Linked files appear in exports for RFIs, tasks, and inspections - closeout binders include attachments and context without manual folder archaeology.
