DRM Studio — responsibility approvals, without the spreadsheet chaos.
Collaborative, role-based approvals for construction project teams. Replace fragile spreadsheets with one structured, auditable workflow — architects, engineers and specialists coordinating in one place.
Free during beta. No payment details required.
Why DRM Studio
One matrix. Every design party. Clear control.
Review together
Invite architects, engineers, MEP consultants and specialist subcontractors to review the responsibilities assigned to their role.
Suggest without overwriting
Reviewers propose changes and add supporting notes. The DRM owner decides what is accepted into the matrix.
Agree and lock
Track unresolved items, approve the agreed position and retain a clear project record.
How it works
From first draft to agreed responsibility matrix
- 1
Create the matrix
Start from a published template, import an existing Excel DRM or build one from scratch.
- 2
Invite the project team
Assign reviewers by role and organisation. Each party sees the responsibilities relevant to them.
- 3
Resolve and agree
Review suggestions, update the matrix and lock items as the project reaches agreement.
Owner-controlled workflow
Suggestions without losing control.
Reviewers propose changes to the responsibilities they're assigned and add supporting notes. Owners decide what enters the matrix — accept the suggestion, update it, or reject it with a reason.
- Reviewers can only suggest, never overwrite.
- Every change carries an author and a note.
- Owners keep a clear accept / update / reject trail.
Precision without proliferation
Split broad roles only where needed.
Keep familiar roles like Specialist Subcontractor for most items. Where responsibility needs to be precise, split just the relevant items into specialist roles such as façade engineer, fire engineer or waterproofing specialist.
- Refine responsibility without duplicating rows.
- Broad roles stay tidy across the rest of the matrix.
- Reviewers only see what applies to them.
Progress and output
See exactly what still needs resolving.
Track locked, approved, suggested and pending items across the project. Filter the matrix by stage, category, role or status, and export a clear PDF record when the team reaches agreement.
