How Forward Works…
Create a new project in seconds.
Enter a project name and number, then just select the RIBA work stages you want to include and you’re up and running as Project Lead.
We know project scopes can change, so we’ve made it really simple to edit and add as much extra detail and customisation as you want, in the intuitive project dashboard.
Drag and drop.
Add as many drawings or documents you want straight into the relevant RIBA work stage.
Quickly add pre-defined or custom searchable tags to each upload, so it’s super-quick to find exactly what you’re looking for in future.
Request approvals from other project participants with a single click, but only if you want to.
Get the party started.
Invite your clients, consultants, colleagues and contractors to join your Forward.
They’ll get on-demand access to all the current project information they need, in an elegantly simple user interface, and access is free for your clients.
We know that one size doesn’t fit all, so Project Leads can customise their project participants’ access to the project’s RIBA work stages.
Project Participants also get control - they can choose how they are notified of project updates, and change their preferences at any time.
Pass it on.
When your involvement changes, it’s really simple hand the project on to a colleague in your firm, an external professional, contractor or end user.
Simply nominate a new Project Lead with a valid Forward Account, and on their acceptance, they take the reins.
Easily create a Golden Thread of project information through all the relevant RIBA work stages.
