Case Study: Kasian Architecture Interior Design & Planning Ltd achieves streamlined document control and faster project delivery with Onware

Onware’s continuous improvement a proven success

Kasian Architecture Interior Design & Planning Ltd., acting as Architectural and Prime Consultant for a unique 75,000 sq ft, three‑storey fit‑up for a local Edmonton gaming company in EPCOR Tower, faced a short, complex delivery schedule with extensive drawing and stakeholder coordination needs. To manage document control and collaboration across Kasian’s Edmonton and Calgary teams and multiple contractors, the firm used Onware’s project document management platform.

Onware provided a central repository and easy document sorting/reporting for RFIs, shop drawings and PCNs, which project teams reported was “easy to use” and helped them “keep things straight” during the fast‑paced fit‑up. Feedback from users prompted Onware to deliver the new one‑click “Package” feature—real‑time PDF generation combining all supporting documents in order—eliminating time‑consuming hyperlink drilling and improving access and coordination; users reported significantly smoother project management and “no more complaints” after the update.
