Knowledge

Your firm's know-how, where every agent can read it.

The codes you design to, your standards, how you do each piece of work, what things cost and what you learned on the last job. Kept as pages your people look after, and read by every person's agent.

Six kinds

Everything your firm knows, in one place.

Each kind holds pages on a subject, with their lines in sections and text written around them.

  • Codes and regulations

    The building codes and the municipality's rules your projects answer to.

  • Firm standards

    Sheet sizes, title blocks, naming, numbering: how your drawings and models are set up.

  • Playbooks

    How the firm does a piece of work, step by step. The agent follows them.

  • Costs and market figures

    Rates and prices the agent uses for costs, instead of guessing.

  • Lessons

    What went well and what went wrong, so the next project starts wiser.

  • Templates

    The documents and details your firm starts from.

Playbooks

Your procedures, followed every time.

A playbook is a page of how the firm does a piece of work: a feasibility study, concept options, a concept design package, a client review. Arqiflow comes with ready-made ones; change them like any page, and the ready-made text stays one click away.

  • Named on the task. “The agent is using Concept options”, with the version it used.
  • Better with use. When work comes back with a correction, the agent suggests a better text.
  • Written from what you have. Give it a written procedure or a manual and it drafts a playbook.

Adding knowledge

Upload a document. Get a page.

Add a PDF, a Word file or a spreadsheet and your agent turns it into a page in the right place. Suggested lines arrive on the page, and you accept or dismiss each one.

  • Looked after. Each page names who maintains it and when it was last checked.
  • Every version kept. History shows each change. Retire a page that no longer applies.

Each project

A project keeps its own rules too.

The brief, the site from the survey and the rules that apply are what a project starts with, in Project info. They are filled in, checked once and corrected when they change, laid out like a Knowledge page.

Questions

Does Arqiflow come with codes for my city?
No. Nothing about a city or a building type is built in. You add the codes and rules you work to, and the agent works from them. When a number it needs is missing, it asks.
Who can change Knowledge?
Owners and managers. When the agent suggests a change to a page or a playbook, it asks one of them in the chat and makes the change on their yes.
How do I know where an answer came from?
The agent says which page it used. Open the page from the chat to read it in full.
