Project Files

One folder structure.
Every project.

Every project on a building opens with the same four folders, and one of them is closeout. Files land where they belong while the job runs, so there is nothing to reassemble after the contractor leaves.

  • The same four folders on every project, agreed once with your health system
  • Architects and contractors file their own work, into the buildings they are contracted for
  • The project stays on the building, after the job and after the people who ran it

Nobody assembles a closeout package. It was being filed the whole time.

A project record that outlives the project

Not a shared drive, and not a folder on the laptop of whoever ran the job. The building keeps it.

Project Files is a tab on the building record, sitting next to the floor plans, the room data, the permits and the assets. Open the building and every project that touched it is right there, whoever ran it and whenever it closed.

Your health system agrees the structure once. Every project opened after that starts with it, which means nobody invents their own version and nobody has to be told where to put something.

Your architect, your general contractor and your trades file into the project themselves, each one limited to the buildings they are contracted for. The record builds while the job runs, instead of being collected from five inboxes afterwards.

Closeout is not a phase. It is a folder that has been filling since day one.

The same project, four moments apart. Watch where the files go.

Day one

Name it, number it, give it an owner. The four folders exist from that moment, empty. The closeout folder is one of them, months before anybody is thinking about closeout.

The program, the existing conditions survey, the phasing plan. Each one lands in the phase folder it belongs to, dated, at the end of a path that says exactly which project and which stage it came from.

The moments a project file turns into somebody’s problem

None of these are unusual. They are the ordinary life of a construction project, before and after the record lives on the building.

The moment✗ Before✓ With Ruya
A new project kicks off
Somebody invents a folder structure on a shared drive
The four folders already exist, on the building
A revised design set arrives
Emailed to whoever happened to be on the thread
Filed to the phase folder it belongs to
The contractor hands over at the end
A hard drive, a link that expires, or nothing at all
A closeout folder that has been filling for months
A surveyor asks about a room two years later
Nobody remembers which project touched it
The project is still on the building
A new project manager starts
Starts their own structure, because the old one made no sense
Opens the same four folders as everyone before them

The same structure, on every project you will ever open

Agreed once with your health system, then applied without anybody having to remember it.

4folders every project opens with, closeout among them
6phase folders under Project Drawings, planning through construction
100+buildings on the platform
0per-seat licenses for the outside parties who file into your projects

These are structural, not measured. The folder tree is settled once with your health system, and every project opened after that starts with it, on the building the work is happening in.

Who stops chasing files

The job ends. The record does not.

Handover is a status change

Mark it Complete. There is no package to build, because the folders filled while the work was happening.

One structure, every job

Every project manager opens the same folders, so a project you inherit reads like one you started.

The trades file their own

Your architect and your contractor put their work in directly, limited to the buildings they are contracted for.

The answer is on the building, not in somebody’s inbox.

Start at the building

Open the building and the projects are a tab away, next to the floor plans and the room data.

The manual for the unit you are standing under

Warranties, manuals and certificates in the closeout folder of the project that installed it.

No request to somebody who left

The project outlasts the project manager, the contractor and the consultant who ran it.

The project that changed the space is attached to the space.

Filed, not gathered

Every file sits at the end of a path that names the project, the folder and the phase it came from.

As-builts where they belong

The closeout set for a floor is on the building, on the project that produced it.

Years later still works

A question about a two-year-old renovation starts at the building and ends in one folder.

What facility leaders say about project records

A project changes a real room in a real building

Which is why the project record sits on that building, next to everything else that describes it.

The closeout set from a project is what the current floor plan gets updated from. The rooms the project changed carry their own department and use in the room record. The permits the job ran under sit on the same building, on their own package. The units the project installed become assets, with the warranty and the manual that arrived in the closeout folder. And the trades who did the work are in the vendor directory, tied to the buildings they are contracted for.

What is healthcare document management software?

Healthcare document management software is a system that stores and organizes a hospital's construction, renovation, and capital project documents, including closeout packages, submittals, warranties, and DWG files, by the building they belong to. Facilities teams use it to hand staff, contractors, and surveyors the current document in seconds during projects, inspections, and Joint Commission (JC), DNV, or CMS surveys. Ruya Project Files is a software and service solution: every project record lives with its building, so documents survive staff turnover and are closeout-ready from day one.

Questions facility leaders ask

For construction and closeout records on a building, yes, that is what it is for. The point is not storage, it is that the files sit on the building they describe rather than in a system organized by department or by year. If you keep a general document system for contracts and finance, this does not touch it.

You settle it once. Your health system agrees the tree it wants, and every project opened after that starts with the same one. That is the part that makes it work: a project somebody else ran two years ago opens exactly like the one you started this morning.

Yes, and that is the point. Your architect files the design sets, your general contractor files the construction record, your trades file the warranties and manuals. Each one is limited to the buildings they are contracted for and nothing else in the portfolio, so the record builds while the job runs instead of being collected from inboxes afterwards.

Nothing moves. You mark the project Complete and it stays on the building with everything in it. The people who ran it move on, the contractor's access ends, and the record is still there for whoever asks about that space in five years.

They are documents, and they go in the construction folder along with the field reports, change orders and the punch list. There is no separate module to keep up to date, which is deliberate: the things a hospital still needs three years later are the records, not the process around them.

No. Start with the projects that are running now, so the structure is in place for work that is still producing documents. Older archives can come across a building at a time, and plenty of teams only ever bring over the closeout folders, which are the ones anybody actually asks for.

Bring the project that closed out worst.

The one where the handover was a hard drive, or a link that stopped working. We’ll set it up on the building in Ruya and show you what it would have looked like filed as it ran. Twenty minutes, with the founder, not a sales rep.

  • See your own folder structure, on your own building
  • Ask the hard questions, pricing included
  • Leave with clear next steps, or a clean no
