Publisher's description of Architect and Contractor Desktop

Capabilities of version 2.0 provide:
1). Freedom to select and create any representation form. Every specialist knows that representation form strongly affects the making decision process. This idea works the same way in regard to interior finishing documents (including costs sheets, finishing materials lists, openings lists etc.). That is the reason why freedom to select and create any representation form is strongly required. Also the program supports report export to various file formats such as DXF, XLS, RTF, HTML, PDF, etc.

2). Information completeness. Making sure that the right item (ceiling system, floor type, door or window etc.) is used in the right place can prevent costly failures and liability issues. That is why it is very important to possess complete information about every item and every room of each project.
3). System of data. Frequent task during interior project development is optimization of decisions made within the project. This task determines analysis of each decision. The only way to perform quick and efficient analysis is to use unified system of data. All those capabilities solve one of the primary tasks of a project development, that is project quality control:
- investor may control customer;
- customer may control general contractor;
- general contractor may control subcontractors;
- subcontractor has complete information about real finishing material consumption and may control its employees.
