I’ve found that I can use the Basepin issue tracker on any size job to keep an accurate list of problems associated to the construction documents. My associates and I are able to communicate and track these problems without time consuming phone calls or individual emails that need to be stored. The best part is that at anytime I can receive a complete categorized listing of every problem, resolution, and current status that I can forward to my clients for review. And because these issues are tracked with individual numbers that link back to identically tagged blocks in the drawing, anyone can easily find the locations of the problems in the cad drawings we produce.

Basepin forces teams to engage in an integrated manner, many issues are resolved at the design table and not through costly change orders in the field. Also, since issues are resolved in weekly meeting in real time using on-line meeting software like GoToMeeting, there is a significant reduction in the number of RFIs that generated for a typically project. This cuts down on construction administration costs and allows the design teams to focus their attention on quality control in the field where it should be.
