Pricing
There are two main costs associated with our process.
- Finding, sorting out and cataloguing your drawings – a one off cost. This can vary greatly depending on the condition of your drawings and how well (or badly) they are already sorted.
- The cost of theDMSeffect™, is a monthly subscription based primarily on the drawing count being managed. The subscription can also be affected by:
- Where the system is installed. On our system or yours?
- What back-ups suit your requirements?
- How many organisations within your business will be using the system?
We will meet and discuss your options and calculate a price for you. During this discussion we will transparently outlay all costs and implications to you. We pride ourselves on being transparent.
We can combine or separate these costs in a number of ways. The initial sorting can be completed, and the cost spread out over 12 months or you could choose to sort out your drawings in stages.
We will work with you to find a solution that meets your organisation’s needs.
Weighing Up the Cost
Are you weighing up the cost and benefits of using a drawing/document management system?
Try not to look at this exercise as an expense. Instead, see it as an investment. The initial implementation cost should be exceeded by long term efficiency gains. If correctly implemented, the benefits will be invisible to you because those annoying ongoing issues will fade away.
- Poor drawing quality will slowly improve
- Access related incidents will not happen
This is the saving using our system gives you. Your implementation requirements will differ from others; therefore, your solution will differ from others. This will change the cost. You will need to contact us to discuss your issues for us to evaluate a suitable solution.
We’ll discuss with you to meet your needs, and:
- Find, sort and catalogue your existing drawings
- Work with you to develop Categories and Filters to make sorting and finding drawings straightforward for your users
- Develop a plan to upload your files to theDMSeffectTM
- Training, from base users up to managers.
- Support your transition to the DMS with phone and email assistance
- We can also assist you with our other services including drafting, and bulk management of new documents from new projects.

Clients We Support
DMS provide a very efficient and effective way to manage the important information conveyed on all types of drawings.
Over many years my experience with them has been positive and varied. From major upgrades using existing drawings to starting fresh they have provided the ability to keep the information up to date and accurate.
The knowledge base of this information is vital in executing an efficient and safe operation and DMS recognise the importance of maintaining a reliable and resilient storage and tracking facility.

The DMS is an excellent tool for management of drawings, be it electrical or any style of drawing.
Management of drawings is always a challenge, and this system provides an easy way to cover it all. There are lots of well thought out features, yet it remains quite simple to use.
Highly recommend this to anyone.

David Pickles | Director

By providing a simple to use and reliable Drawing Management System, I was able to easily set up all our electricians with access to a drawing database that I know is managed professionally and that has followed a document control process.
Electrical personnel have easy access to the latest drawings 24/7. This is a benefit from both an OH&S and production perspective.
Keep up the good work!

We’ve found the DMS to be a highly effective way to manage our files. Drawing Managers assisted us with setup and training to make sure everyone has the correct drawings when they need them. It’s saved time by being easy to search, and simple to use in the internet browser. It also allows for our EEM to track and approve drawing changes to comply with QLD mining regulations.

Paul Edwards | Electrical Engineering Manager
Yarrabee Coal Company Pty Ltd
I’ve found Drawing Managers as a company to be an important tool used in my current and previous business. Primarily as a drawing management system, they provide a system with easy to use and easier to manage access to our drawings. The web portal provides a simple search/filter system that allows us to find drawings quickly and then view/print/update them with ease.
They also provide drawing modification support and can be relied on to update the drawings quickly and are more than cost effective. I highly recommend their services.
Nic Castle | Project Engineer

The Drawing Managers software gives the end user a simple streamline friendly interface to update, print and maintain electrical schematics. The staff are always willing to assist with queries and have spent time developing informative guides to assist in tasks that may be carried out infrequently. Their approach really places the control of documents back in the hands of the end users and should you not have the time to manage they will assist here also. They have really tailored their software for its specific purpose rather than using generic document control software.
Ben Fairlie | CHPP Technician
Bulga Coal
Since introducing the DMS to our business approximately five years ago we have significantly improved the way in which we manage our drawings for our business through operational efficiencies and increased compliance. I was particularly pleased that Drawing Managers were able to tailor a data management & storage solution specifically for us which was something new for them. Their product is very user friendly for all roles whilst remaining robust and auditable.
With this in mind, I highly recommend that any business looking for a robust yet affordable document management solution to contact DMS to see what they can offer.
