Whether it’s an important email, a contract revision, or a critical drawing, searching for the right piece of data can feel like looking for a needle in a haystack. Time spent hunting for information is time lost on executing tasks, slowing down workflows and impacting overall project efficiency. 

In an industry where timelines are tight and accuracy is everything, having quick access to the right information isn’t just a convenience—it’s a necessity. Unfortunately, traditional methods of storing and retrieving data often lead to wasted hours, costly miscommunications, and unnecessary stress. Without a powerful search tool, AEC professionals risk losing valuable time and, even worse, compromising the success of their projects. 

The Risks of Not Finding Information When You Need It

Failing to retrieve critical project data at the right moment can have serious consequences. The inability to find key information leads to:

Email & Attachments

In AEC projects, critical decisions are often buried in long email threads or hidden within attachments. With Newforma Konekt, you can instantly surface past conversations, approvals, and clarifications—eliminating the need to dig through inboxes or download files one by one. This ensures that nothing gets missed in translation and that all stakeholders stay informed, reducing the risk of miscommunication and rework.

RFIs & Submittals

Tracking the status of RFIs and submittals shouldn’t require chasing paper trails or manually updating spreadsheets. Newforma Konekt allows you to search or filter by keyword, status, or date to find the exact RFI or submittal you need. This level of access helps teams stay on schedule, improves response times, and makes it easier to validate that the right steps have been followed.

Contracts and Changes

Understanding your project’s contractual details is critical for managing risk and budget. By making this information easy to access, you reduce the chance of overlooked requirements and ensure that your team can respond to changes with confidence.

BIM Issues & Coordination Notes

Coordinating BIM issues requires more than clash detection—it demands clear documentation of how conflicts are raised, discussed, and resolved. Newforma Konekt lets you search across coordination notes, issue comments, and model references, ensuring design decisions are never lost in the shuffle. This keeps teams aligned, supports faster resolution of conflicts, and helps maintain a fully accountable design process from concept through construction.
