The Unified CA Platform for Architects
One Platform. Every Project. All of CA in One Place.
Roundhouse replaces the chaos of juggling multiple GC platforms, email threads, and spreadsheets with a unified workspace purpose-built for architecture firms.
Manage RFIs, Submittals, Specifications, and Field Observations across your entire portfolio—with real-time visibility from principals to project architects.
Stop Working in Project Silos
One screen. Every project, every deadline, every action item—no matter where they live in your portfolio.
The Current State of CA:
RFI Chaos: Questions buried in email threads. Responses taking days when clients expect hours. No visibility across your portfolio.
Submittal Spreadsheet Hell: Disconnected logs no one trusts. Constant 'which version is current?' questions. Manual tracking across 10+ active projects.
Platform Juggling: Information scattered across Procore, Bluebeam, email, and whatever system each GC prefers. You're adapting to contractor tools.
Skyview: See Everything, Control Everything
Roundhouse's revolutionary Skyview interface organizes information the way architects naturally think.
The Pyramid Structure:
Our Pyramid Structure creates natural hierarchies: Frim → Studio → Client → Project, so information is structured exactly how architecture firms are structured.
What Skyview Does
Universal Project View: See all your active projects in one unified dashboard. Track submittal status, RFI responses, and project milestones across your entire portfolio without switching between different views or systems.
Priority-Driven Organization: Items automatically sort by due dates and urgency. Critical submittals, overdue RFIs, and approaching deadlines rise to the top so nothing falls through the cracks.
Cross-Client Intelligence: Working across multiple studios or with different clients? Skyview aggregates information from all your project workspaces, giving you complete visibility across your entire practice.
Instant Context Switching: Click into any project from your overview and dive deep into specific submittals, RFIs, or documents. Then pop back out to your full portfolio view with one click.
“Roundhouse reduced time spent on project status updates by 75% - from 2 hours daily across multiple platforms to 30 minutes in one unified dashboard."

Work the Way Architects Actually Think
Not just digital filing cabinets. These are intelligent workspaces that connect project information, streamline CA workflows, and maintain the audit trails that construction administration requires.
Workspace Summary:
Your Project Command Center
Your project homepage with key metrics, critical information, and announcements rolled up from all project activities. Upload logos, renderings, and project details for instant project context.
What It Actually Does:
See every overdue RFI, pending submittal, and field observation across your entire practice in one view
No more checking 20 different projects to find what needs attention today
Instant project status without asking anyone
Documents:
Plans & Specifications - Issue Set Management
Manage plans and specs the way they're actually released - as complete 'issue sets' like Pricing Set, Addendum 1, For Construction, or Revision #2.
What It Actually Does:
Automatically consolidates the most current documents while maintaining permanent records of every historical set issued
Stop asking 'where's the latest submittal log?' or 'which email has that RFI response?'
Everything in one place, with automatic Bluebeam and Procore sync
RFIs & Submittals:
This Is the Core of CA
RFIs: Track RFIs from contractor question through architect review and response. Equal access for all participants ensures faster resolution
Submittals: Track shop drawings and product data through the entire approval workflow. Digital submittals with instant access
Field Reports: Create comprehensive field reports with linked photos and observations. Built on AIA Field Report standards
How Modules Connect
Intelligent Linking: RFIs link to relevant drawings, submittals reference specifications, field reports connect to project photos
Roll-Up Intelligence: Information flows up your project hierarchy. Studio directors see all relevant activity, principals get portfolio-wide visibility
Audit Trail Everything: Every action, view, and download is logged. Complete history for dispute resolution and compliance
General Information:
Announcements, Contacts, Tasks
Announcements: Create and post meeting notices, deadline reminders, and important updates that reach all project participants instantly
Contacts: Keep all project contacts in one accessible location. Contact information rolls up across project levels for easy firm-wide access
Tasks: Create to-do items, assign to team members, and track progress through completion with roll-up visibility
Finally, Software Built Around How Architects Work
Every architecture firm has its own way of working. Different terminology, unique processes, specific client requirements. Why should you change how your firm operates just to fit someone else's software?
Roundhouse flexes to match your practice - not the other way around.
Your Firm's Identity
Custom branding: Your logos, color schemes, and custom login at [yourfirm.roundhousepm.com]
Your language: Use 'job' instead of 'project'? Configure terminology that matches how your firm actually talks
Intelligent Workflow Adaptation
Submittal workflows: Set your standard approval actions
RFI priorities: Define Low/Medium/High based on your project criteria
Access Control That Makes Sense
Role-based permissions: Create groups that match your firm's
Module-level security: Share construction documents with contractors while keeping contracts restricted
Portfolio visibility, purpose-built workflows, and platform flexibility - All in one place.
Stuart Rom, AIA, Founder
"Seeing 2,800 architects and project professionals use Roundhouse across 3,000+ projects to date validates what we set out to prove - when you build software specifically for how architects work, it transforms not just individual projects, but entire practices.”
Validated by Independent Research
In partnership with Praxis3 Advisors, we conducted comprehensive research with 50+ architecture firms to quantify the real cost of CA administrative work. The findings were clear: firms were losing 27% of their capacity to coordination overhead—the equivalent of one full team member per four architects. Roundhouse was purpose-built to solve these measured inefficiencies.
Results from firms using Roundhouse:
30% Reduction in Project Delays: Through early identification of submittal bottlenecks and RFI backlogs that previously went unnoticed until they became critical path issues
75% Less Time on Status Updates: From 2 hours daily across multiple platforms to 30 minutes in one unified dashboard—reclaiming 1,500 billable hours annually per firm
95% On-Time Completion Rate: By automatically surfacing urgent items before they become critical, eliminating the need to manually track deadlines across multiple projects
