Quality control for drawings, without the dread.

Checking issued drawings is painstaking work — and it is exactly what keeps costly errors and rework off site. Archi Check makes it quick, clear and genuinely pleasant: mark up issues, assign corrections, and track each one to closed. The drawing fills a whole second screen, so every line and note is bigger and sharper than a printed set.

the difference

One window to manage the review.
One screen for the drawing itself.

Archi Check runs as two live-synced windows. Keep the workspace — drawings, comments and status — on your main monitor, and send the drawing to a second screen where it fills the glass edge to edge. Zoom into the smallest dimension or note and read it clearly — the way a printed check set never let you.

See it at full size. The PDF takes the entire second screen, so the detail you are checking is bigger and crisper than paper — nothing is too small to read.
Always in sync. Both windows share one live view. Select a comment in one and it is there in the other, instantly.
Smooth zoom & pan. Cursor-anchored zoom and middle-drag pan, so moving around a dense drawing feels effortless.

The QC loop

Check → Correct → Verify → Close.

A clear, four-stage review that everyone on the team can follow. Each markup is one tracked comment, from the moment it is raised to the moment it is closed.

Check

Open a folder of PDFs, mark up an issue, and write a note. A tracked comment is created.

Open

Correct

Assign the comment to a corrector and move it to In progress. Responses are added as work proceeds.

In progress

Verify

The corrector marks it Ready to check. A checker reviews the fix against the drawing.

Ready to check

Close

Close resolved items and export a marked-up PDF and register — the original is never touched.

Closed

Not resolved? Reopen — it loops straight back to Open

No re-scanning, ever. Mark up a printed set and you still have to scan it all back in to archive your control. In Archi Check the workflow is digital from the very first comment — every markup, response, assignment and status change is recorded as you work. Your QC record builds itself, and exports to a register and a marked-up PDF in one click.

Markup

Every markup tool you reach for.

A full QC markup set, on par with the tools you already know. Each markup is one tracked comment, tagged with its display number — like C-000001 — and carries its own colour and line weight. Select, move, resize or delete any of them at any time.

Status tags stay colour-coded by state — so you read Open / In progress / Closed at a glance, even when markups use custom colours. Text, callout and stamp content flows straight into the exported register.

where your data stays

Your folder stays the source of truth.

Archi Check works right where your drawings already live — your project folder on OneDrive, SharePoint or a network share. There is nothing to migrate, and your QC data never leaves that folder.

Stays with your filesComments, history and exports live in your own project folder. Only sign-in goes online.
Built for teams on a shared driveYour whole team can review the same set at once, and everyone sees the same comments — no separate platform to set up.
Non-destructiveExports are saved as a new copy. Your original drawings are never changed.

Where it fits

Built for the QC job — not a general PDF editor.

If you only need to run drawing QC, a full PDF suite is more tool than the task asks for. Archi Check does the review loop well, and little else on purpose.
