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.
Nobody assembles a closeout package. It was being filed the whole time.
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.
Name, number, owner, status. Search it, filter it down to what is still in progress, sort any column, and pin the two or three you are living in this month.
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.
Planning, schematic design, design development, construction, specifications, and the native model files. The set from one phase stays where it belongs instead of being written over by the one that replaced it.
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.
The same project, four moments apart. Watch where the files go.
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.
Requests for information, submittals, field reports, change orders, the punch list. Filed on the day they happen by the people who produced them, not gathered up at the end by somebody who was not there.
The as-builts, the manuals, the warranties, the certificates. Mark the project Complete and it stays on the building, still open to anyone who needs it, years after the trailer has left the parking lot.
Nobody assembles a closeout package at the end. It is what is left over from running the job properly.
None of these are unusual. They are the ordinary life of a construction project, before and after the record lives on the building.
Agreed once with your health system, then applied without anybody having to remember it.
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.
Mark it Complete. There is no package to build, because the folders filled while the work was happening.
Every project manager opens the same folders, so a project you inherit reads like one you started.
Your architect and your contractor put their work in directly, limited to the buildings they are contracted for.
Open the building and the projects are a tab away, next to the floor plans and the room data.
Warranties, manuals and certificates in the closeout folder of the project that installed it.
The project outlasts the project manager, the contractor and the consultant who ran it.
Every file sits at the end of a path that names the project, the folder and the phase it came from.
The closeout set for a floor is on the building, on the project that produced it.
A question about a two-year-old renovation starts at the building and ends in one folder.
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.
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.
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.
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.
