Project Data Rooms

Your whole project, in one secure place

Included on every project we take on: a private, branded room where your drawings, tender packs and deliverables sit behind a single secure link, always current, so your team and your subcontractors are never hunting for the latest file or the right revision.

  • Branded to your project. Your company name and logo sit alongside ours, so the room feels like an extension of your own team.
  • Secure by default. Files open through a controlled link with no accounts to manage, and we keep a record of who has accessed what.
  • Always the current issue. Update a drawing and the link stays the same, so nobody ever prices from a superseded revision.

We build our own tools
Kestrel

Our take-offs are faster and more certain than working by hand, because we built the software that does it. Kestrel is our own PDF takeoff tool, now used by estimators across the UK. Work with Alves Rowe and you get the benefit of it on every project.

From drawing to priced BoQ
