The problem

On building projects, design questions live in e-mails and spreadsheets. RFIs get lost, answers are not linked to the drawing they change, and nobody can prove who decided what.

Our solution

A Next.js product with a Django back end: register documents and versions, raise issues, turn them into RFIs, answer and close them, and record meeting actions. Every step writes an audit event and a traceability link. A library of 21 discipline knowledge modules, built from 17 construction reference books with page-level citations, supports reviewers.

  • Issue → RFI → answer → close workflow
  • Document version control and attachments
  • Audit events and traceability links on every record
  • Public site and product merged on Next.js 16 with two Django back ends

Result

A working end-to-end vertical slice, merged with the company's public website, running on PostgreSQL and Redis with separate back ends for the site and the product.
