Reducing admin time in property document ordering

Admin is rarely the biggest challenge on a project, but it’s often the most persistent. For builders, developers and consultants managing multiple sites, the time spent ordering property documents, coordinating reports and tracking progress can quietly add up to hours each week.

The issue isn’t complexity, it’s fragmentation. Multiple portals, repeated data entry and long email chains turn what should be a straightforward task into an ongoing admin burden.

Where admin time is really lost

Property document ordering is rarely a single step. It often involves:

• Logging into multiple systems to source different documents
• Switching between address searches and title references
• Coordinating consultant reports through quote requests and follow-up emails
• Tracking progress across inboxes, attachments and separate portals

On their own, these tasks feel manageable. Across multiple projects, they quickly become a drain on time and focus.

Centralising document ordering

One of the most effective ways to reduce admin is to centralise how documents are ordered. Bringing everything into a single process reduces handovers, duplication and unnecessary coordination.

In practice, this means being able to:

• Order documents using an address or title reference without jumping between platforms
• Upload plans and request consultant reports as part of the same ordering process

This removes several steps from the workflow and reduces the need for follow-ups with multiple providers.

Using repeatable workflows

Many projects require the same set of documents at similar stages. Creating repeatable workflows, such as pre-set document bundles, helps cut ordering time and reduces the risk of missing information when things get busy.

For teams managing high volumes, these small efficiencies compound quickly.

Keeping visibility in one place

Another source of admin is simply checking where things are up to. Having one place to view what’s been ordered, what’s complete and what’s still in progress reduces back-and-forth and keeps teams aligned without chasing updates.

Reducing admin time doesn’t require changing how you design or build. It starts with tightening the processes that support your work. Centralising document ordering, using repeatable workflows and maintaining visibility across jobs are practical steps that free up time where it matters most.
