Document & RFI Control OS

Never build off a superseded drawing again.

PHASE 2 — PREPARED: being stamped to the controlled Obras standard; not yet on sale. The specification below is the system as designed.

"Am I working from the current approved revision?" — the question behind more rework, defects and disputes than any other on a construction site. The Document & RFI Control OS answers it with a scan: Green current approved, Amber review / pending, Red superseded — do not use. It gives you the Document Control Register, the RFI Register and the RFI Tracker, plus the QR-verify method that rolls every document to one status — so a crew never builds off the wrong sheet.

The most expensive question on site: "is this the latest revision?"

A wall built off Rev C when Rev D moved the penetration. A slab set out from a superseded sheet. A subbie holding a drawing that was reissued last week and never told. Rework, defects, variations and disputes — the single biggest cause is a crew building off a document that wasn't current. The DDC OS makes the answer instant: scan it, and it's Green current approved or Red superseded — do not use.

How it works

From register to the point of work — one status per document

Every drawing and document registered, revised, transmitted and statused — then verified by scan on the deck, so only the current approved revision gets built.

What you receive

Three control registers + the control-room method

A focused document & RFI control framework — the core registers you actually receive, plus the QR-verify method that proves the current approved revision at the point of work. Not a 30-template drawing-admin dump: the lean spine that keeps one source of truth.

This is what the crew scans on the deck

Live control surfaces, not a transmittal folder — the document control register, the RFI register and the status verdict. Scanning a document’s QR confirms its revision and controlled status.

What it helps you achieve

Outcomes, not paperwork

🚫

Never build off superseded

A Red status on a superseded sheet stops the work before the wall goes up or the slab is set out wrong.

📱

Current at the point of work

Scan any drawing or document on the deck and know in a second: current approved, or do not use.

❓

RFIs that don't get lost

Open and overdue RFIs tracked against the drawings waiting on them — chase the answer before it holds the front.

📝

A defensible trail

Every transmittal and revision recorded — who got what, when. The record that settles a dispute in your favour.

🔄

Old revisions pulled

The superseded register flags which old sheets are still in the field and who's holding them — so they get pulled.

🧱

Sits under every division

One document spine beneath Residential, Commercial, High-Rise and Compliance — every division reads the same truth.

At $1,999, it's cheaper than the first wall you don't rebuild.

Building off the wrong revision is the most common — and most avoidable — cost on site.

One element rebuilt

A wall, slab or set-out built off a superseded sheet means demo and rebuild — a single instance dwarfs $1,999.

One revision dispute

"Which revision were you issued?" — a transmittal trail that proves the current revision was issued settles the claim before it starts.

One RFI that held the front

An overdue RFI nobody chased stops a work front for days. Tracked against its drawing, it gets answered in time.

Illustrative scenario

The penetration that was set out from a superseded drawing

  1. A drawing is reissued. The copy pinned up in the site office is not.
  2. Every controlled drawing carries a QR band, so the sheet on the wall can be checked against the live record in seconds.
  3. The register shows who holds which revision and who has acknowledged the reissue — so a change is distributed, not just uploaded.
  4. RFIs sit against the drawing they relate to, with the date asked and every chase recorded.

A worked example, not a customer story. It describes how the system behaves, not a result it produced.

What’s included

See it before you buy it

Put your own company name on a controlled document, then issue a revision and watch the QR flip from current to superseded. It runs in your browser and saves nothing.

Common questions

What problem does it solve?

Knowing which revision is the approved one, and proving an RFI was asked and chased on the dates you say it was.

Does it need software?

No. The QR band is a bonus; the documents work on their own.

Can we brand it?

Yes. Editable Word throughout.

Monthly or yearly?

Both. Yearly is cheaper.
