Someone on your project is working from the wrong drawing.
Lode compiles the authoritative drawing set from every revision issuance you've issued — automatically, traceably, and always ready to download. One source of truth for everyone on the project.
ASI 03 affects 6 sheets. Three revisions concentrate around the north stair assembly. One new sheet added: A201A.
Missing a revision costs more than you think.

Most of it is preventable. The drawings existed. The revision was issued. Someone just didn't have the current set.
Here's how it actually happens.
The Field Superintendent
"We built the north stair to the bid set. Turns out ASI 02 moved it eight inches. Nobody told us. The architect said it was in the drawings. It was — in the revised drawings nobody sent us."
$24,000 in rework. 11 days of delay.
The Project Manager
"I had six people in a coordination meeting arguing about a detail that had already been resolved in Bulletin 3. We spent two hours on something that was answered six weeks ago. Nobody had the current set."
4 hours of billable time. Zero progress.
The Architect
"The contractor submitted an RFI about a condition we'd already addressed in ASI 01. When I checked, they were working from the original bid set. Three months into construction."
Credibility damage. Client frustration. Another RFI.

Meet Doc.
Doc reads every revision issuance and tells you what changed — in plain language, in seconds.
ASI 03 affects 6 sheets. Three revisions concentrate around the north stair assembly, including a revised guardrail condition on A201 and a new enlarged plan on A201A. The roof assembly on A301 has been updated — this sheet has been revised in 3 of 4 issuances to date.
No sheets were removed. One sheet added.
Doc is optional. Enable it per project. Your drawings are never stored or used for training.
Then bring it into the field.
Compiling the set is step one. Lode also gives your team the tools to mark it up, measure off it, and work through what changed — all on a non-destructive layer that never touches your source PDFs.

When a revision breaks a sheet reference, Lode flags it and walks you through the fix.
