Circulate Review: joint review of civil drawings

Every discipline, and the city, on the same drawing set at the same time. One list of comments, one record at the end.

Review stages with a due date

Upload a drawing set as a revision, then open a review stage on it with a due date and the people who should review. Each reviewer marks up for their discipline (water, transportation, drainage and so on): anyone can add comments and reply, but only your own discipline's comments can be moved, edited or given a status by you; the project owner can change any. When the stage closes, nothing in it can be changed.

Comments that get answered

Every comment has a status and a reply thread, and the list filters by sheet, discipline, status, severity and author.
People can reply from their email: a reply to a notification is added to the comment, in their name.
Email notifications right away or as a daily summary, as each person chooses; each person can also get a short Slack or Microsoft Teams message when there is new activity.
Compare two revisions side by side, or one over the other in red and blue.
Comments not yet resolved carry forward to the next stage, so nothing is lost between rounds.

City reviewers and applicants join free

Invite anyone outside your firm as a guest. Guests never pay, never take a seat and need nothing installed: they open the review in their web browser from the invitation. You choose whether a guest can mark up or only reply.

An issued record you can file

Closing a stage issues its record: a review letter (PDF), the comment sheet (Excel and CSV), and the drawings with every markup, both as editable annotations and flattened. Every change in the review is kept with who made it and when, and is never rewritten.
