Before your Newforma renewal: answer these questions

Most AEC firms using Newforma are really only using one thing: email filing and search. The rest - scheduling, resource planning, financial tracking - sits unused while you pay for the full platform.

Now a renewal is on the table, and the clock is ticking. But before you commit to a migration, a price increase and weeks of retraining, it's worth asking a simple question: do you actually need a platform, or do you need a specialist tool that does the one thing you care about - brilliantly?

This checklist walks you through the honest assessment most firms skip before signing.
