Documents
Centralized file storage with folder management and automatic source-based indexing. Every project file in one place — uploaded manually or auto-collected from inspections, issues, and work items.
A document hub that organizes itself
Files from across the project flow in automatically — you just add the folders.
Folders that match how your team files
Create nested folders at any depth to organize project files however the team works — by area, by trade, by submittal package. Rename, move, or delete from a right-click menu; the structure is shared, so everyone navigates the same tree.
- Unlimited nesting depth — as many levels as the project needs
- Right-click to rename, move, or delete folders
- One shared structure for the whole team
- Deleting a folder never deletes its files — they move to the project root
Files that file themselves — browsing by source
Anything attached to a WBS item, inspection, or issue is automatically indexed and browsable by where it came from. Inspection photos, issue evidence, and work item attachments land in Documents without anyone touching the upload button.
- Auto-indexed from WBS items, inspections, and issues
- Every file carries a source badge showing its origin
- Browse by folder or by source — whichever context you're in
- No manual filing for field-captured evidence
Drop anything, preview instantly
Drop files anywhere on the page to upload — multiple at once, any type: PDFs, images, videos, documents, CAD drawings. Images open in a full-size preview modal; everything else gets a color-coded type icon so the browser reads at a glance.
- Drag-and-drop anywhere on the page, multi-file
- Any file type up to 50 MB per file
- Full-size image preview in a modal
- Color-coded icons by type — red PDF, purple video, blue CAD
More in the Documents module
The supporting register — everything else the module carries, on the record.
- Two-panel layout
- Folder tree on the left, file browser on the right — the filing cabinet metaphor that just works.
- Source badges
- Every file shows whether it came from a WBS item, inspection, issue, or manual upload.
- Safe folder deletion
- Files in a deleted folder move to the project root — they're never destroyed with the folder.
- Mobile folder drawer
- On phones the folder tree collapses into a slide-out drawer — tap to navigate, swipe to close.
- Camera capture upload
- Upload via the device file picker or straight from the camera in the field.
Every view of project files
Folder tree, source index, and preview — the working views.
The two-panel view — nested folder tree beside the file browser.
How it works
Three steps from scattered files to organized project documentation.
Upload your files
Drag and drop files anywhere on the page, or use the upload button. Multiple files at once, any type. Files attached elsewhere in the project are automatically indexed here too.
Why switch from shared drives?
Most teams start with Google Drive, Dropbox, or a network folder. Here's what breaks and what changes.
The old way
- Files scattered across email attachments, chat messages, and shared drives — nobody knows the latest version.
- Photos from inspections live in someone's camera roll. Good luck finding them three months later.
- Folder structure gets messy fast — every person organizes differently, nothing is consistent.
- No connection between documents and the work they relate to. Context is lost.
- Searching means opening multiple folders and hoping the filename is descriptive enough.
With Construction Hub
- One centralized location per project — every file uploaded or auto-collected in one place.
- Inspection photos, issue evidence, and WBS attachments are automatically indexed by source.
- Shared folder structure that the whole team uses. Create as many levels as you need.
- Every file shows a source badge — instantly see if it came from a WBS item, inspection, or issue.
- Browse by folder structure or by source. Find files by where they came from, not just their name.
Built for the field
The folder tree collapses into a slide-out drawer on phones. Upload, preview, and manage files on any device.
- Folder tree as a collapsible drawer — tap to navigate, swipe to close
- File upload via device file picker or camera capture
- Full-size image preview with pinch-to-zoom on mobile browsers
