If you want a second set of eyes on how the next project, or this one, is filed, a short conversation is enough. You do not need a binder, a cleaned-up folder, or a complete history of the company.
Bring a recent RFI thread, a look at where your drawings live now, and one pain point. That is enough for me to tell whether a simple setup will hold, or whether you would be better off with someone else keeping the file. A longer list of what to bring is in “A First Conversation.”

I am based in Arizona, and I work remotely with GCs and trades in any state, in Google Drive, Dropbox, and spreadsheets.
Please do not send passwords or documents you are not allowed to share, and redact pricing or personal data if you need to. We can talk through the structure of a file without putting a full drawing set into a new inbox.
What happens after you reach out
I will look at what you send, or walk the folder with you on a call, and tell you straight what I see. The answer might be to run it yourself with a tighter file, a one-time job file setup, a retainer during construction, or closeout support. I quote a fee per job, based on scope, and it is usually carried in the job’s general conditions.
If we work together, the files stay in your account.
I run Built On Record myself. You can read more about the work on the About page, and about how this site is written.
A job-file kit you can use this week
Free logs and checklists for RFIs, submittals, dailies, changes, transmittals, pay apps, warranties, and closeout, plus a folder tree to keep them in. Sent by email, with an occasional practical note after that.
