01The challenge

The work is world-class. The way clients receive it isn’t.

AEC firms deliver serious work: floor plans, as-built documents, design sets, 3D reality captures. But most of it still arrives through a tangle of email threads, shared drives, and “can you resend that file?” The deliverables are premium; the experience of receiving them feels like admin. That gap quietly undercuts trust, slows approvals, and costs referrals, the exact moments a growing firm needs to look most buttoned-up.

02The approach

One branded portal. Every deliverable, self-serve.

We designed and shipped ArchRecon, a client portal that turns a firm’s operations into a product clients love to open. From login to download, it’s on-brand, fast, and built on a design system so it scales as the firm grows.

  • Dashboard

    Active projects, delivered packages, and services at a glance.

  • Projects & deliverables

    Each project with renders, tags, status, and a full download.

  • Files & activity

    Versioned files and a running activity log. Nothing lost in email.

  • Requests & invoices

    Clients request new work and track invoices, self-serve.

  • Design system

    A reusable component library so the product scales cleanly.

  • Mobile-first

    The entire portal, responsive from phone to desktop.

03Inside the portal

A product that makes the firm look inevitable.

Deliverables

Work that looks as good as it is.

Every project gets its own page: photoreal renders, status, location, and a one-tap Download Full Package. Clients feel the quality before they open a single file.

Files & activity

Nothing lost in an inbox.

Drawings, documents, and packages live in one organized, versioned place with a running activity log, so “which file is current?” stops being a question.

Requests

New work, without a single email.

Clients start a new project, pick a service, and hand off details right in the portal, turning the firm’s intake into a clean, trackable pipeline.

Mobile-first

The whole portal, in their pocket.

Site walks, approvals, quick downloads: clients and PMs check in from the field, not just the desk. Every view is responsive by design.
