The Problem

When Drawings Live Everywhere,
Mistakes Live in the Field.

When your drawing set lives across shared drives, email chains, and plan rooms, your team wastes time hunting for the right version, and sometimes builds from the wrong one. A single outdated drawing on a jobsite can mean thousands in rework, schedule delays, and strained client relationships.

The SiteMax Solution

A Single Source of Truth
for Every Drawing
on Every Project.

SiteMax Drawings gives you a single source of truth for every drawing on every project. Upload, organize, tag, version, and share your entire drawing set from one centralized module.

Your office team manages revisions while your field crews access the latest versions instantly, on any device, from anywhere.

Why Construction Leaders Choose SiteMax Drawings

Built Around How Drawings
Actually Move Through a Project.

One Source of Truth for Every Revision

Upload new drawing versions and your team is automatically working from the latest set. No more wondering which revision is current or whether the field has the right sheets.

Instant Revision Notifications

When you upload a new revision, notify your team with one click. Select exactly who needs to know, project managers, site supervisors, subtrades, and they'll receive an alert immediately.

Find Any Drawing in Seconds

Filter by version, tags, or use header sorting to organize by associated RFIs, Punch Items, Tasks, Change Orders, Photos, or Documents. Save your filter views and come back to them anytime.

Seamless Field Access

Your crews can view drawings on mobile right from the jobsite. Share drawings as PDFs via messaging, email, or any mobile app, no printer required.

Linked to Your Entire Project

Drawings don't exist in isolation. SiteMax connects them to your Punch Items, RFIs, Change Orders, and Tasks so you always have full context when reviewing a sheet.

Pin RFIs, Photos, Tasks,
and Punch Items
Right on the Sheet.

Anything captured in SiteMax can be linked to a precise location on a drawing. Pin an RFI to the column it's about. Pin a photo to the wall it documents. Pin a punch item to the deficient area, with its responsible party already attached.

When the next person opens that sheet, the context comes with it. No hunting through the project log to figure out what happened on grid line C-5.

Key Features

Everything You Need
to Run Drawings at Scale.

Drawing Navigation

Access all project drawings from the sidebar menu. View Starred Drawings you've marked as important, browse Default Drawings for the full set, or navigate through Drawing Folders for organized access.

Switch between List View and Tile View depending on your preference. Use "Jump to Sheet" to navigate between drawings without leaving the page.

Drawing Management

Filter by version and tags to isolate exactly the drawings you need. Use the Actions menu to Bulk Edit, Delete, Export, or Move drawings to folders. Star important drawings in Tile View for quick access.

Exporting and Sharing

Three flexible export methods:

  • Download individually or download all selected drawings at once
  • Copy a shareable URL for direct access, no SiteMax account needed
  • Email drawing links directly to Contacts and Users for sets of 4 or more

Customize the exported PDF before sharing.

Tags for Organization

Add tags to any drawing for easy categorization and filtering. Type any word or phrase, press Enter, and the tag is saved. Add multiple tags per drawing. Tags enhance filtering, reporting, and cross-project organization.

Customizable Drawing Order

List View: Sort numerically or alphabetically. Use header sorting to organize by Starred status, Tags, RFIs, Punch Items, Tasks, Change Orders, associated Drawings, URLs, Photos, or Documents.

Grid View: See thumbnail previews of every drawing with mark-up icons and counts for quick identification.

Tip: For clean numerical sorting (1, 2, 3 instead of 1, 10, 11), rename single-digit drawings as "01", "02", "03", etc.

Version Control

Switch between drawing versions at any time. When uploading revisions, notify selected team members directly from the drawing screen using the info icon.

Permission Controls

Granular permissions ensure the right level of access:

  • View permissions to access the Drawings module
  • Edit or Manage permissions to manage drawings
  • Edit permissions required to add tags

Apply individually or through Permission Templates.
