Engineering & Document Control

The right revision, on every desk and every site.

UPAX controls drawings and documents from first issue to approval, so only the current approved revision is ever transmitted — and every RFI that changes cost becomes a variation.

What changes

Engineering & Document Control with UPAX.

Drawing register, revisions, transmittals, RFIs, controlled documents and submittals.

01

No superseded drawings on site

Transmittals only ever carry the current approved revision.

02

Changes priced, not lost

RFIs with cost impact turn into variations automatically.

03

Clear accountability

Segregated checking and approval on every revision.

The controlled flow

Every step approved, recorded and connected.

  1. Upload revision
  2. Self-check
  3. Checker
  4. Discipline lead
  5. Approved revision
  6. Transmittal
  7. Acknowledgement

Each step runs on the UPAX workflow engine: the approver is resolved from your approval matrix, the action is written to the hash-chained audit trail, and the next step starts automatically.

Features

What Engineering & Document Control includes.

ISO 19650 drawing register

Drawings named by project, originator, volume, level, type, role and number, with PDF, DWG and DXF revisions.

Wrong-sheet protection

The title block is read from the uploaded sheet and mismatched uploads are refused.

Independent checks

Draftsman self-check, checker mark-ups and discipline-lead approval. The author cannot check and the checker cannot approve.

Transmittals of current revisions only

Only the current approved revision can be transmitted; issued-for-construction requires C-series revisions and PM approval. Acknowledgements are tracked.

RFIs linked to variations

RFIs carry a response SLA, engineering review, consultant answer and impact assessment that can raise a variation.

Controlled documents and submittals

Procedures, method statements and ITPs with review codes A–D, read-and-acknowledge by role, and submittals through QA/QC and the consultant.

FAQ

Engineering & Document Control, answered.

Can't find your answer? Talk to a UPAX specialist.

Does UPAX follow ISO 19650 naming?

Yes. The drawing register uses the ISO 19650 field structure: project, originator, volume, level, type, role and number.

Which file types can be uploaded?

Drawing revisions can be uploaded as PDF, DWG or DXF and viewed in the browser. An Autodesk Platform Services viewer can be enabled per company.

Can an RFI create a variation?

Yes. When the impact assessment shows a cost or time impact, the RFI can raise a variation on the project.
