Run the practice. Issue drawings with the right revision, every time.

Fees, RIBA stages, resources, drawing revisions, issue packages, site visits and project financials use the same project record. Your team can trace each decision back to the work and files it affected.

Full access for 30 days. No card required.

  • £85 a month including 5 internal users
  • Clients and consultants use restricted access at no charge
  • RIBA Plan of Work stages 0 to 7 included
  • Named people retain professional decisions

Open the project and see the work that needs a decision.

Stage health, fee burn, due deliverables, drawing issues, client decisions and site actions sit together. Select a figure to open the records behind it.

The issue sheet comes from the issue.

Select approved revisions, assign an explicit subset to each recipient and complete the configured human approvals. Raq.com then freezes the source set and generates the issue sheet, transmittal, manifest and recipient packages from it.

Exact files, named recipients

A released package keeps its controlled revisions, permitted use, recipient list and acknowledgement history. Later uploads can't replace it.

The fee proposal becomes the project baseline.

Accepted scope, fees, hours, programme and deliverables stay together. Variations and forecasts update the current position without rewriting what the client accepted.

Pipeline and fees

Qualify work, check conflicts and capacity, build stage fees from roles and hours, approve the commercial position and record client acceptance.

RIBA stage control

Use stages 0 to 7 or add work packages. Each stage keeps its programme, fee, hours, outputs, decisions, gate exceptions and immutable close snapshot.

Resources and time

Plan named people or provisional roles by week. Approved time updates stage hours, labour cost, fee burn and the remaining forecast. Resource and time records are in beta.

Drawing control

Keep a stable drawing number, immutable revisions, title-block checks, status and purpose codes, QA decisions, supersession and issue history.

Project financials

Track original and current fee, approved variations, commitments, WIP, earned fee, invoices, payments and forecast margin by stage. Project finance records are in beta, so reconcile statutory accounts in your accounting system.

Quality and risk

Record peer reviews, design risk, Building Regulations duties, CDM evidence, planning constraints and retention without turning a model suggestion into certification.

Record what you saw. Keep the issued report intact.

Photos, observations, responsible parties and due dates form the visit record. Issuing the report freezes an exact snapshot, and later changes or closures go into a superseding visit.

  1. Site visits

    Prepare a visit, record observations with photo evidence, a responsible party and a due date, and close each one with a named rationale before the report is issued.

  2. Issued reports

    Generate a report under your practice name from confirmed observations. The snapshot records its controlled version, recipients and issue time.

  3. Contract administration

    Keep technical queries, RFIs, submittals, instructions, changes, delays, certificates and completion evidence in numbered registers. Issued records require a superseding correction.

Use the project record as the source.

The assistant can draft a fee scope, find a brief gap, read a title block or prepare site-report text. It cites the records it used and stops before the professional action.

Design option work

Use sketches, site photos, massing views and material references with explicit rights and provenance. Compare variants, retain prompts and inputs, and label generated work as concept material until a person approves sharing.

Drafts and checks

AI can create project and issue drafts through the API or MCP. The built-in assistant can't approve a revision, freeze an issue, authorise release, certify, sign, submit or close a professional record, and formal API actions are recorded against the named person whose token is used.

Before you start

Does this replace practice-management and drawing-register software?

It covers pipeline, fee proposals, RIBA stages, resources, time, project financials, drawing revisions, issue packages, approvals, site reports and contract-administration records. Resources, time and project financials are in beta, and your accounting and design-authoring systems remain the source for the work they handle.

Which team members need a paid licence?

Internal account members use paid licences. Clients, consultants and contractors can receive restricted links or portal access without becoming paid internal users.

Can an issue sheet change after drawings have been sent?

No. Release freezes the exact revision files, recipients, issue sheet, transmittal and technical package manifest. A correction needs a new or superseding issue.

Does AI approve drawings or make contractual decisions?

No. AI can extract metadata, find inconsistencies and prepare drafts with source links. Named people approve, issue, certify, sign, submit and close professional records.

Can we use our RIBA or JCT forms?

Yes, where your practice has the right to use them. Keep completed forms on the project record and save your own fee services and proposal clauses as practice templates. Raq.com doesn't redistribute licensed forms.

Can you import our current drawing register and project data?

Yes. Imports run through mapping, validation, duplicate review and reconciliation before records become authoritative. You can export the structured data and original files again.

Review your current practice systems

Send us your current project, drawing and fee workflow. We will identify what can be imported, where information is duplicated and which controls need a person to review.

We only use this to reply to you. You will not be added to a mailing list.
