Your project architects are burning 20-30 hours a week on administrative work that doesn’t get billed.
Email threads. Spreadsheet updates. Chasing submittal approvals. Compiling closeout documentation from files scattered across five different drives.
That’s not project management. That’s chaos with better file names.
CENTERLINE is the project information management platform built specifically for architecture firms—designed to eliminate manual project administration and give you back control of profitability.
Not adapted from construction management software. Not repurposed from generic project tools.
Purpose-built for architects.
The Problem CENTERLINE Solves
You already know what’s broken.
RFIs get buried in email. Submittal logs live in spreadsheets that go out of sync. Punch lists exist in field notes, photos, and half-finished Word docs. Closeout deliverables take days to compile because no one knows where the O&M manuals actually are.
Your team delivers sophisticated BIM models and technical drawings. Yet your project administration still runs on tools designed for the 1990s.
The result?
- Administrative tasks consume hours that should be billable
- Critical information gets lost in communication gaps
- Deadlines slip because notifications disappear into inboxes
- Risk exposure grows with every undocumented decision
CENTERLINE changes that.
It centralizes all project information—RFIs, submittals, punch lists, meeting notes, contracts, drawings, closeout deliverables—into a single structured system that works the way architects actually work.
What CENTERLINE Does
CENTERLINE manages the entire project lifecycle. Not just construction administration. The whole thing:
Design
Track design decisions, meeting notes, and early coordination with consultants. Everything documented. Nothing lost.
Bidding & Procurement
Manage addenda distribution, bid tabulation, and contractor communication. Clear records. No disputes about who got what information when.
Construction Administration
This is where the administrative burden hits hardest—and where CENTERLINE delivers the biggest impact.
Submittal Management:
- Automated logs that build themselves as submittals come in
- Real-time status tracking visible to all stakeholders
- Notifications and reminders so nothing falls through the cracks
- Complete revision history for every item
RFI Tracking:
- Structured workflows from question to resolution
- Automatic routing to responsible parties
- Due date tracking with escalation alerts
- Full audit trail for every decision
Punch Lists:
- Field notes convert to trackable items
- Photo documentation linked to specific tasks
- Status updates visible in real time
- Final sign-off tied to closeout deliverables
Change Orders:
- Documentation tied to relevant project records
- Approval workflows that eliminate bottlenecks
- Version control across revisions
Closeout
Instead of scrambling to compile documentation at project end, CENTERLINE builds it as you go. As-built drawings. O&M manuals. Warranty docs. Final deliverable checklists.
Everything organized. Ready to hand off.
How CENTERLINE Works Differently
Here’s what sets CENTERLINE apart:
Single Source of Truth
All project information lives in one place. Not scattered across email, file servers, and individual computers.
When someone asks, “What’s the status of the mechanical submittal?” you don’t search through 200 emails. You pull up the project record and see the complete history—submittal, review, comments, approval, date closed.
One click. Complete context.
Workflow Automation
CENTERLINE doesn’t just track tasks. It drives them forward.
When a submittal arrives:
- System logs it automatically
- Routes it to the responsible reviewer
- Sends notifications with due dates
- Tracks revisions if resubmittal is required
- Updates the master log in real time
- Alerts stakeholders when approved
Your team focuses on reviewing submittals, not managing spreadsheets.
Real-Time Collaboration
Cloud-native platform. 24/7 access from any device. Real-time updates across your entire project team—architects, consultants, contractors, owners.
No lag. No waiting. No version control nightmares.
Unlimited Users and Data
You don’t pay per seat. Your entire project team gets access—because collaboration works best when information flows freely.
Consultants. Contractors. Owners. Everyone sees what they need, when they need it.
Integration with Tools You Use
CENTERLINE integrates with:
- Bluebeam for cloud-based blueprint markups and document approvals
- Procore for firms coordinating with GCs who use it
- Industry-standard accounting and design tools
No silos. No copy/paste. No friction.
Who CENTERLINE Is For
CENTERLINE is built for architecture firms—from small studios to large practices.
If your firm:
- Handles multiple projects simultaneously
- Deals with construction administration workload
- Loses time to manual tracking and status updates
- Struggles with information scattered across systems
- Wants to reclaim billable hours buried in admin work
…then CENTERLINE is built for you.
What Firms Achieve with CENTERLINE
The results are measurable:
Time Savings:
Firms save 20-30+ hours per week on project administration. That’s time that converts directly back to billable work or design capacity.
Risk Reduction:
Complete documentation. Full audit trails. Version control across all project records. When disputes arise, you have the information—timestamped, organized, and defensible.
Faster Billing:
When project documentation connects directly to your workflow, billing cycles shorten. Less time compiling records. More time collecting fees.
Better Team Utilization:
Your best architects spend time on design and decisions—not updating spreadsheets or digging through email.
CENTERLINE vs. What You’re Using Now
Let’s be direct about the alternatives:
Email organizes messages. It doesn’t manage projects. Critical information gets buried in threads that spiral into chaos.
Spreadsheets track data—manually. Someone has to update them. Someone has to check that they’re current. Someone has to reconcile when multiple versions exist.
File storage platforms (Dropbox, SharePoint) organize documents. They don’t automate workflows or connect project data across phases.
Construction management software (Procore, Newforma) serves general contractors or the entire AEC industry. They’re powerful—and bloated with features architects don’t need.
CENTERLINE is purpose-built for architects. It handles exactly what you need—nothing more, nothing less.
Pricing That Makes Sense
CENTERLINE offers two options:
CENTERLINE COMPLETE: Turnkey solution for single projects. Unlimited users and data. Priced by project size and duration.
CENTERLINE PRO: Annual subscription for firm-wide deployment. Unlimited users and data across all projects.
You’re not paying per seat for features built for other industries. You’re paying for a platform designed around architecture workflows.
The Bottom Line
CENTERLINE is project information management for architects who are done wasting time on manual administration.
It’s the platform that finally gives you a structured system for RFIs, submittals, punch lists, and closeout deliverables—without the bloat, the lag, or the complexity of tools built for someone else’s workflow.
Email is not project management. Spreadsheets are not workflow automation. And you didn’t become an architect to manage either one.
CENTERLINE gives you back the time.
