Newforma Project Center Pricing Overview

One of the most valuable features of Newforma Project Center is its robust indexing and search functionality. On large-scale or mega projects, we often manage hundreds of thousands of emails, transmittals, meeting minutes, and various other project documents each month. The ability to quickly and accurately locate specific information within this volume of data is essential—and Newforma’s search capabilities make that possible.

Before implementing Newforma, emails were typically stored using traditional email platforms or by manually dragging copies into project folders within Windows Explorer. This method presented a significant limitation: emails stored in Windows folders could not be searched without opening each message individually. Given that some projects generate thousands of emails in a single week, this manual process was both time-consuming and inefficient.

Newforma eliminates the need for such manual searching by indexing all project communications and documents, allowing users to retrieve relevant information instantly using keywords or phrases. This has significantly improved our ability to manage and access project data in a timely and effective manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the less effective aspects of the program is its Help section. While it offers a wealth of information, it often lacks clear, task-oriented guidance, making it difficult to understand how to complete specific actions. Additionally, many of the instructions are vague or confusing—likely written by subject matter experts without consideration for users who are new to the platform.

As a workaround, I’ve found it helpful to search for solutions or user-generated tutorials on Google. Although not always directly helpful, these searches often introduce alternative keywords or phrasing that refine my queries and lead to more useful results. Another challenge within the Help articles is the excessive number of embedded links, which can easily lead users off-topic. In some cases, navigating back to the original content is difficult, and the detour leaves me more confused than when I started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate being able to manage CA processes like submittals, RFIs, document control, and emails all within a single platform. Having all documents easily accessible in one location is convenient, and the ability to search through documents helps save time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The markup tools are not as effective as those in Bluebeam. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
