Build Week 5: Outlook Plugin, RFIs & Submittals, Faster App

Overview

Between August 5 and September 10, 2025, we delivered 114 improvements to help architects, engineers, and builders cut admin and keep projects organized.

Outlook Plugin for Automatic Email Filing

Cogram now integrates with Outlook to summarize, understand, and automatically file emails and attachments to the appropriate project, preventing information silos in inboxes while maintaining searchability across teams.

Why it matters

The feature eliminates manual email filing work, reduces missed decisions, and establishes a reliable project record.

Getting started

Users connect Outlook through Settings, configure projects as filing targets in Cogram, or integrate with project repositories like Deltek Vantagepoint/Vision/Ajera for automatic synchronization.

Construction Administration: RFIs & Submittals (In Progress)

We are prototyping an RFI and Submittal management system featuring standardized logs, rapid data capture from Procore and email attachments, and connections to meetings and drawings.

Why it matters

This aims to shorten turnaround times and create an audit-ready log for construction administration scheduling.

Early access is available upon request.

Performance, Mobile & UX Polish

Three categories of improvements were implemented:

  1. Faster infrastructure: Faster search and database operations, smoother syncs, and enhanced infrastructure stability
  2. Better interfaces: Cleaner navigation, consistent interfaces, better forms, and improved mobile state synchronization

Why it matters

Pages load faster, search performance improves, and the interface remains responsive during busy project periods.
