Your data

Your source data stays in your own systems

Lacwork does not make you move house. Drive folders, Sheets and internal file servers remain where your source data lives. Lacwork connects through adapters to read it, index it and bring it into your processes. Remove Lacwork and your data stays exactly where it was.

ISO 19650

A standards-compliant common data environment, without users having to learn the standard

CDE states, document codes and versions are generated by the system under ISO 19650 and TCVN 14177:2024. People name files the way they always have, and Lacwork handles the rest.

  1. S0

    Work in progress

    Each discipline works internally. Every upload is a new version, and old versions are never overwritten.

  2. S1-S4

    Shared for coordination

    Disciplines cross-check in the 3D IFC and PDF viewer, commenting on the exact spot that needs fixing.

  3. A1-A5

    Published

    Opens only once the approval round is accepted. Sent by transmittal with confirmed receipt.

    Approval required
  4. AR

    Archived

    As-built records and version history are kept intact for lookup and audit.

Modules

A shared core, with packs you switch on as needed

The core is available to every company. Feature packs are added when needed, and turning one off only hides it, no data is lost.

  • Core

    Project records and CDE

    Folder tree per project, immutable versions, ISO 19650 states, metadata search.

  • Core

    3D IFC and PDF viewer

    View models and drawings in the browser. Comments anchored to elements and PDF pages, living across every version.

  • Core

    Approvals and transmittals

    Multi-level approval flows, electronic approval stamps, document transmittals with confirmed receipt.

  • Core

    Kanban by design phase

    Work follows the familiar phases of Vietnamese projects: concept, basic design, technical design, construction.

  • Core

    Company directory

    Staff, collaborators, individual and organisational partners, synced both ways with Google Sheets.

  • Pack

    Work and MIS

    Assign work and track progress, project budgets and task costs on one company dashboard.

  • Pack

    Project timesheets

    Log hours by project and phase to see where resources are going. Your existing attendance system stays as it is.

  • Pack

    CPM schedule

    WBS and dependencies calculate the critical path, float and Gantt automatically.

  • Pack

    Quotes

    Build consulting quotes with offer price, percentage payment stages and estimated cost.

  • Pack

    Management standards

    An internal standards library in wiki form. Wherever the system blocks an action, it links to the exact clause.

Tailoring

Five layers of tailoring, the first four with no code

You adjust appearance, catalogues, packs and connections yourself, as data. Only entirely new capabilities need further development.

  1. 01

    Appearance

    Logo, brand colours, a dedicated company domain, display language.

  2. 02

    Catalogues and business rules

    Project phases, document types, naming rules, approval flows, alert thresholds. Your company manages all of these catalogues itself.

  3. 03

    Feature packs

    Turn each pack on or off to suit your stage of transformation. Turning a pack off only hides the features, the data stays intact.

  4. 04

    Connections

    Connect to Drive, Sheets, NAS, messaging channels and existing design software through adapters, per project or company-wide.

  5. 05

    New modulesNeeds development

    Capabilities that do not exist yet are developed as shared modules and activated for the companies that need them.

In-house AI

AI agents handle repetitive work, on each company's own knowledge

Every company has its own knowledge base, never mixed with another. You choose the level of autonomy for each job.

  1. 0

    Record

    The agent only logs its results. No suggestions shown, no data changed.

  2. 1

    Suggest

    The agent suggests, the user confirms each item. This is the default level.

  3. 2

    Act, with undo

    The agent applies the result right away and records it, so one action undoes it.

  4. !

    Always suggest only

    Approvals, publishing, CDE states and the directory: AI only suggests, the decision stays with the user.

What the agents do today

  • Translate documents into a partner's language
  • Draft letters and official correspondence from project context
  • Pull action items out of meeting minutes
  • Detect steps that deviate from the process
  • Turn scans into searchable text
