Every drawing, photo & certificate.
Organised the way you actually build.
No more files scattered across email threads, WhatsApp messages, USB sticks and someone's laptop. The File Manager keeps every project document in one organised place, accessible from any device - and the smart-shared system means you upload a drawing once and it appears on every matching plot, even the ones you haven't built yet.
Upload once. Apply everywhere. Forever.
Upload a spec, CAD drawing or O&M manual to a house type - and DuoApp copies it to every plot built to that design.
Including plots that don't exist yet. Add a new "3-Bed Semi" to the project next month? The shared files appear on it instantly. Need to override a shared file on one specific plot? Do it - without affecting the others. It's the difference between filing the same drawing 80 times and filing it once.
Files mirror the way
your team thinks.
By project, by block, by level, by plot, and by house type. There's only one logical place each file can live - so there's only one place to look.
Need the gas safety cert for every plot on Block 2? Right where you'd expect it.
"Where did Dave put the drawings?" is a question you never have to ask again.
- ✓Drag-and-drop at any level - project, block, level, plot, or house type
- ✓Search by filename across an entire project
- ✓Filter by house type to find every file linked to a specific design
- ✓Override per plot when one unit needs a different version
Preview anything,
without downloading it.
PDFs, images, video, audio & text files all open in place. The built-in PDF viewer ships with zoom, search, print & download - so you can check a drawing in two clicks, not ten.
Five formats, one viewer, zero downloads.
Click any file in the tree and it opens inline. The PDF viewer (powered by Syncfusion) handles everything from 200-page tender docs to 3-page certs without breaking a sweat.
Everything you'd expect, plus the bits that save real time.
Drag-and-drop upload
At any level - project, block, level, plot, or house type. Multi-file, with progress.
Search & filter
By filename across a whole project. Filter by house type to find every linked file.
Auto thumbnails
PDFs and images get thumbnails generated in the background. Files load instantly.
Rename, replace, version
Update any file in place. Every action logged with user and timestamp - full audit trail.
Secure download links
Time-limited URLs. Share with a subbie or client - links automatically expire so leaked URLs don't stay live.
Right unit, every time
File sizes shown automatically in the correct unit - KB, MB, GB.
Not a separate tool - wired into every part of the platform.
When you open a plot, task, or QC check, the relevant files are right there. No hunting.
Built so you sleep well
before the insurance audit.
Azure Blob Storage
Cloud-hosted, backed up, no servers to manage. Scales to whatever you throw at it.
Company separation
One company can never see another company's files. Ever. Hard-walled at every layer.
Role-based access
Users only see files for projects they're assigned to. No accidental over-sharing.
Full audit trail
Every upload, rename, replace, delete - logged with user + timestamp. Ready for any audit.
One place. Every drawing. Every photo. Every cert.
