Custom solutions for owners, agencies, portfolio and facilities managers

Your plan archive, indexed from the sheets themselves.

Building plans, drawing sets and studies end up spread across network drives, SharePoint sites and old systems. Sheetsa reads what is printed on each sheet and turns it into a clean, reviewable index, with a record of how every value was read and who corrected it. Keep it in Sheetsa's hosted repository, or have Sheetsa integrated with the repository you already use.

The problem

“Everything for this building” should be one search.

  • Where is the complete set? Sheets from one project sit in several files and folders, and nobody can say whether a set is whole.
  • Which drawing is current? Revisions pile up, and the official record is whatever someone remembers.
  • Old scans can't be searched. Legacy sets are faded photocopies with no text layer at all.
  • Metadata is inconsistent. File names are whatever the last person typed, so the repository can't be trusted.

How an engagement works

Start small, measure, then build.

  1. 01

    Assess a sample

    You choose a sample of your archive, scanned and born-digital. We run it through Sheetsa and hand back one named PDF per sheet and an index for every set.

  2. 02

    Review and measure

    Your staff review the index and correct it; every correction is logged. We report accuracy field by field against your reviewed index, how many pages had no usable text, and which titleblock layouts Sheetsa didn't know.

  3. 03

    Build what the archive needs

    The assessment ends with a written recommendation: what a full migration would take, which custom pieces below are worth building, and how the index maps into your repository.

What can be delivered

Clear about what exists and what gets built.

Every item below is marked. Works today runs in the free tools now. Built for you is development work on the same engine, scoped and priced in the assessment, not an off-the-shelf feature. Not offered today stays with your existing platform, which Sheetsa can integrate with.

Works today

  • Sheet number, title, discipline, issue date and revision read from each titleblock, with files named from what was read
  • A visible read state on every field, human review and correction, and an append-only log of every read and correction
  • A second, independent reader (OCR) consulted when the first read is weak
  • Restoring faded scans and reading them with multi-pass OCR that reports agreement
  • Checking PDFs against a documented subset of PDF/A for long-term filing
  • Spec books indexed by CSI MasterFormat section
  • Index export as JSON and CSV that any repository or search platform can take in

Built for you

  • Integration with your existing repository where Archive Pro cannot connect it self-serve, with Sheetsa's index written in as document metadata. SharePoint connects self-serve in Archive Pro
  • Batch processing of your archive, with the review screen for your staff
  • Scanned sets indexed: sheet number and title read off the scan itself with OCR, checked against a second reading. In development; your sample is the test
  • Sets organised by building first, then project, so a building's full history is one query
  • Current set per building: the latest revision of every sheet number, with what it supersedes
  • Completeness check: the drawing list on the cover sheet compared with the sheets actually in the set
  • Handoff packages by link: a consultant gets a link to the sheets and buildings you choose rather than the drawings themselves, with download and print access set by you; downloads as one PDF per sheet or one bookmarked full-set PDF
  • Schedules read into tables: equipment, door, window and finish schedules read row by row from sets plotted from CAD, and from scans where the OCR reads them cleanly
  • More fields: issuing firm, project name and number, document type
  • Titleblock layouts specific to your archive
  • Deployment inside your own cloud environment
  • AI search over the archive (Sheetsa Archive Pro, coming soon): plain-language questions answered from Sheetsa's finished index and evidence log, every answer citing the sheets it came from
  • An API and AI-assistant access to the index and its review trail

Not offered today

  • Records retention, legal holds and official-record workflows
  • Sharing, permissions and single sign-on
  • CAD, BIM, GIS and LiDAR formats
  • Dashboards, digital twins and portfolio analytics

Out of the box, Sheetsa Archive is a hosted repository, and Archive Pro connects the repository you already use where that can be set up self-serve. For owners and agencies, Sheetsa can be integrated with the rest.

As designed

Everything for one building, on one screen.

Design preview of Archive's current-set screen for one building: its projects across four decades, and for each sheet number the drawing that governs today, what it supersedes, and how it was read.

What we'll tell you up front

No surprises after the contract.

Talk to us

Start with a sample of your archive.

Write to support@sheetsa.com with roughly how many drawing sets you hold, how many are scans, and where they live today. Please don't attach drawings to a first email.
