fig. 01 · comparisons

Compare Lunr with the systems asset owners already run.

Where the drawing record lives is a decision an asset owner keeps for the life of the asset, long after any one project closes. Most of the systems below were built for a project team, a design office, or the wider organisation, and each does that job well. These comparisons set out, tool by tool, where each one fits and where a record built for engineering drawings does something different.

fig. 02 · the field

Twelve systems, and where each one fits.

Start with the system you run today. Each comparison is written the same way: what the tool is good at, the specific points where a drawing set needs more, and how the two sit side by side.

For the whole field in one place, including Accruent Meridian and the six criteria to put to each vendor, read the survey of engineering document management software.

fig. 03 · how the field divides

Four kinds of system, one of them yours.

The twelve above divide into four kinds of system, each built for a different reader, and which kind you are replacing decides how much of the record moves with you. Find the group you already run, then read that comparison first.

Document platforms for the whole organisation

SharePoint, OpenText, and M-Files hold every class of document a business produces, from policies and contracts to engineering. Each comparison looks at what a drawing set asks for on top: drawing numbers, revision conventions, and CAD formats that open without a licence.

Platforms that run project delivery

Aconex, TeamBinder, Procore, and Autodesk Docs coordinate the organisations building the asset, carrying correspondence, transmittals, submittals, and the models the delivery team works from. Each one is scoped to a project that eventually closes.

Environments built for the design office

ProjectWise, Autodesk Vault, Synergis Adept, and 12d Synergy manage work in progress at the desk where drawings are made, with integrations inside the CAD applications and the file relationships that hold a drawing set together. What the owner receives is what comes out the far end.

Built for the owner's engineering record

RedEye is the closest like-for-like comparison on this hub, cloud engineering document management for an asset owner rather than for a project team or a design office.

Most owners keep more than one. The usual shape is the project platform running delivery, the design office on its own environment, and one controlled register that takes the set at handover and holds it for the decades after. For what that register does, read engineering document management, or the handover validation that checks a close-out package as it lands.
