Project Site Address
Welcome to your Client Portal.
This is your dedicated digital drawing issue portal.
Our main location where we will share, collaborate and store documents for the lifetime of your project.
This platform has been designed specifically for you to conveniently access and manage all your creative assets and architectural projects with us.
Whenever we notify you via email about updates to your Portal, we advise downloading the information on the same date of notification.
While your Client Portal is mobile & tablet-friendly, we recommend accessing it on a desktop or laptop for the best viewing experience.
Please note that files uploaded to your project portal are compressed professional drawing and document files.
Due to their size and format, they may not download or open correctly on mobile devices and are best accessed using a computer.
Here, you can collaborate, provide us feedback, and make requests to ensure that your vision is perfectly realised.
This portal is updated manually by the Architecture North team. As it is not automated, updates following client sign-off’s may take 3–5 working days to appear.
