Built around the decisions architects make.
Plotwise is developed by an architect, from first-hand experience of taking projects through construction.
Hours went into tracing drawings, correspondence and earlier decisions to understand what a contractor's query or a client's change would affect. Looking back, the cost was clear. There was avoidable rework, and there were additional services that should have been charged.
Plotwise is built to strengthen the architect's judgement, control and commercial position. We're starting with architects, with scope to support engineering and construction.
What Plotwise is built on.
- The architect decides
Plotwise explains the implications and sets out the options with their sources. Professional responsibility stays with the architect.
- Knowledge stays with the practice
Why decisions were made, and what remains unresolved, outlast staff changes and projects on hold.
- Evidence behind every answer
Assessments refer to the project record, planning and building regulations and the agreed scope.
- Work recognised, not absorbed
Services outside the agreed fee are identified before resources are committed.
