If there is something that causes headaches in the work, it is the Chaos of the planes.

A resident with the “final-final.pdf” version on his WhatsApp, a supervisor printing an email from three weeks ago, and a subcontractor who is still working with the first version sent to him on paper.

The result: errors, rework, extra costs and waste of time.

In the middle of 2025, many companies are still managing plans informally. But the reality is that modern projects can't rely on chats or emails to control something so critical.

‍

The problem with plans in WhatsApp and email

• Multiple versions: no one knows which one is the last one.
• Expensive rework: crews working with outdated information.
• Lack of traceability: impossible to know who authorized what change.
• Dependency on people: If someone doesn't forward the email, the information is lost.

Each week that you work with outdated plans may represent Thousands of pesos in waste and weeks of delay.

How Buildpeer solves this chaos

El Buildpeer Plans with Revisions module is designed so that everyone in the project always works with the latest version.

‍

1. A single digital repository

All plans live on the platform, organized by discipline and project. No more “search for it in the WhatsApp group”.

2. Controlled reviews

Every time a plane changes, it goes up like New revision. The system saves the history, but only the current version is available for field use.

3. Web and app viewer

You don't need to print or have Autocad. From your computer or cell phone you can open, zoom in, measure and compare plans directly in Buildpeer.

4. Automatic alerts

When a new plan is uploaded, everyone involved receives a notification. Thus, the update reaches the computer in real time.

5. History and traceability

Who uploaded the plan? When was it approved? What revision is in effect? Everything is recorded and accessible.

‍

Example in the field

Imagine a construction of industrial buildings in Monterrey:

• The customer approves a change in the electrical layout.
• The plan is uploaded to Buildpeer as Revision B.
• Automatically, residents, supervisors and subcontractors receive the notification.
• In the viewer, everyone sees the difference between Revision A and B.
• The error is detected before execution, avoiding rework and cost overruns.

What used to be a mess of emails and calls is now solved with a couple of clicks.

‍

Conclusion

Plan control can no longer rely on WhatsApp, emails or random prints.

With Buildpeer, each member of the project has the certainty of working with the latest version and the confidence that any change is documented and tracked.

In construction, plans are the basis of everything. And if the base is poorly managed, the rest of the project is at risk.

With a digital revision system, the question is no longer “who has the latest version?” , but “how fast can we execute with the right information”.
