Catina AIA contract software problems - heads-up

  • 1.  Catina AIA contract software problems - heads-up

    Posted 12-18-2024 04:05 PM

    I've found two significant issues with the new AIA contracts managed by Catina. I received an invitation to the software on Dec. 12. 

    1. Project folders are not supported in the software. Your finalized PDF documents that were imported by Catina come in a long list but not separated by project folders. For instance, all the A101 documents come in as individual files with the same name. This makes finding a particular document difficult. 
    2. Previous draft documents prepared from the old software cannot be imported to the Catina website. We have created a series of draft documents that now cannot be modified or finalized.

    We have 90 days access to the old software. I hope the the software evolves over that time, but it seems the rollout is premature.
