Construction and design firms
Job files capture the real work behind every building
RFIs, drawings and change orders. Owner-owned material and restricted sites get reviewed first.
Check my estimateWhy project records matter
You can look up codes and design guides anywhere. You cannot look up a field question, how the designers answered it, or the call made when the site contradicted the drawings.
Project by project, it is written down in your submittals, RFIs, change orders and daily logs.
Where the value usually is
- Drawing sets and models. Each revision of a design as it matures.
- RFIs and submittals. Questions from the field and how the trades resolve them.
- Change orders and coordination logs. The reasons a plan shifted.
- Daily logs and punch lists. Site activity each day and the items still open.
What owners ask first: whose drawings are these?
Drawings and models may belong to the building owner or be limited by your contract. You and your counsel read whether any of it can go in scope. We are not legal advisers. When scope is set, owner-owned material gets reviewed, and it can be left out.
Government, infrastructure and other projects with security limits can be removed completely. Bid and pricing history can be held back too.
What can be left out
- Owner-owned files. Excluded unless you and your counsel choose to include them.
- Restricted projects. Excluded entirely.
- Estimates and bids. Leave out any folder, tool or time frame.
How it runs
You fill in the estimate form, and a specialist from License Your Data calls within minutes to book a 15-minute call under NDA. What you put in scope is turned into a de-identified copy by License Your Data. You see and approve a sample first, and buyers license the copy after that.
Questions we hear from owners
- Do our files ever leave our servers?
- No. License Your Data prepares a de-identified copy while your originals stay where they are.
- What do we have to get ready?
- Nothing to prepare. Knowing which tools you use and roughly for how long is plenty, and no exports are requested.
- What does it cost?
- Nothing at all. It is free for you.
- Do owners or subcontractors get named?
- No. Placeholders replace every person and company.
