The way a project actually came together

Records that tell the story

Behind every finished building sit hundreds of hidden decisions. You can find those choices in your project files:

• Drawing sets and models, with each revision
• RFIs and the answers that went back to the field
• Coordination logs, submittals and changes to orders
• Daily logs through to the final punch list

The concern: who owns these drawings?

Drawings and models can belong to the owner, and contracts can limit what you do with them. Your contracts and your own counsel decide whether a project can go in; legal advice is not something we give. Owner-controlled material is reviewed project by project in scoping, and anything restricted can simply stay out. Projects with security limits, such as government sites, can be excluded entirely.

Your bids stay private

How you price work shows in your estimating files, which you may want to protect. Leave them out. Whatever you include is de-identified, and owners, subcontractors, suppliers, staff and project addresses all become placeholders.

What buyers really see

Imagine a duct and a beam drawn into the same spot. The clash is caught, an RFI comes from the field, the new layout is costed as a change order, and the fix is written up in that day's log. A buyer follows that chain from first question to closeout, every company and person swapped for a placeholder. A model learns from that reasoning, not from your client list.

The usual fit

Contractors, architects and design build firms with 20 or more full-time staff and 3 or more years of project history in a project platform, shared drives or Microsoft 365. Smaller firms may also qualify if their archive goes back years.

Good to know

Do we have to include every project?

No. A handful of well documented jobs can be enough to start the conversation.

Who needs to take part?

Usually an owner or principal, plus whoever runs your project platform and file servers.

Will our jobs slow down?

No. Your teams keep working in the originals, which never move.

How we build the copy

First comes an NDA. License Your Data prepares the de-identified copy, nobody asks for a password, and your originals never leave your systems. You exclude any project, folder or client you like and approve a sample before anything goes out. You pay nothing.
