“But we've always done it this way.”
That's what every practice says — right up until the moment a client disputes your design advice, your insurer asks for the audit trail, and you're scrolling through 18 months of email trying to prove what was agreed.
THE PLATFORM
The big firms use Oracle's Aconex. It costs six figures and takes months to implement. You deserve the same protection — without the procurement department.
RFIs, site instructions, design queries — every piece of formal communication tracked, timestamped, and immutable. Once sent, nobody can edit or delete it. Ever.
Upload, version, and control every project document. Full revision history, discipline tagging, status workflows. Know exactly which version is current — always.
Issue documents formally with full distribution tracking. Know who received what, when they opened it, and which revision was current at time of issue.
Every action logged. Every timestamp immutable. Export your complete project history in a format your insurer and your lawyer will love.

BUILT BY SOMEONE WHO GETS IT
Pixelex Exchange was designed by a construction industry professional who has lived the pain of lost correspondence, disputed instructions, and the 3am panic of a PI claim. Every feature exists because a real project needed it.
Years in AEC industry
Major projects experienced firsthand
Features built on guesswork
Audit trail coverage from day one

STILL THINKING?
We're only a 12-person practice. Do we really need this?
You especially need this. Large firms have entire compliance departments. You don't. Pixelex IS your compliance department — without the salary.
Can't I just use a shared drive and email?
You can. Until the day someone edits a file after the fact, or your insurer asks for proof of what was communicated and when. Email has no audit trail. Shared drives have no immutability. One PI claim costs more than a decade of Pixelex.
What about Procore / Autodesk / Aconex?
Great tools — built for 500-person contractors with $100K+ budgets and 6-month implementation timelines. Pixelex gives you the same document control architecture in a platform designed for your practice size, at a price that makes sense.
How long does it take to set up?
Create your organisation, invite your team, start your first project. Most practices are operational within an hour. No IT department required.
Is my data secure?
SOC 2-aligned security architecture from day one. Row-level security at the database level. Your data is isolated, encrypted, and yours. We can't see it even if we wanted to.
We're onboarding a small group of founding practices in Melbourne. Full platform access. Zero cost during beta. Your feedback shapes the product.
No credit card required. No obligation. Just a conversation about your practice.
