For architects whose verbal approvals evaporate

Client sign-offs, in writing

Send a change for approval and get a timestamped yes in the project record — from your client's own account, not a phone call you'll be trying to reconstruct in six months.

The problem

“I never approved that”

The client OK'd the window schedule change on a call in March. You built the change into the drawings, the contractor priced it, and the work went in. In October the invoice lands — and suddenly nobody remembers that call the same way you do.

So you dig: email threads, text messages, meeting notes, hoping someone wrote something down. A verbal approval isn't a record. Neither is an email thread you have to reassemble under pressure.

Arcarrow gives every approval one home. You send the change; your client approves or declines from their own signed-in account; and the decision — with its timestamp — becomes part of the project record that nobody can quietly rewrite.

How it works

Request. Decide. On the record.

01

Send the request

Name the change, describe it, and attach the drawing revision or document it concerns. Sending emails your client a link straight to the decision — there's no draft to forget about.

  • Attach the current drawing revision or a project document
  • Goes to a client linked to the project
  • Email with a direct link to decide
02

Your client decides — as themselves

The client signs in and approves or declines, with a comment if they want. The decision can only come from their own account — not from you, not from anyone at your firm.

  • Decision made from the client's own sign-in
  • Approve or decline, with an optional comment
  • Automatic email reminders while it's pending
03

The record keeps itself

The decision is timestamped into the project record and locked: a decided sign-off can't be edited or deleted — by anyone. When a scope question surfaces months later, the answer is one click away.

  • Timestamped decision on the project record
  • Decided sign-offs can't be rewritten or removed
  • One place to look when scope questions come up
