Wallxy for Consultants & Engineers: How Do You Know Exactly What You Can Touch?
Your scope, submissions and approvals shouldn't be guessed over email, WhatsApp threads and a vague "team member" invite. Wallxy scopes your access to your exact role the moment you're invited onto someone else's project. Upload drawings and calculation sheets, push your tasks through review, and always know who signs off — without managing anyone else's team. Know your scope, track your submissions, and never wonder who approves what. Less guessing. Less email. More clarity.

Wallxy reflects that relationship directly in how access works, not just in who's assigned what task.
The Problem
Consultants often get added to a project with vague "team member" access, then have to ask what they're actually allowed to touch. Drawing approvals happen over email side-threads separate from the project itself, and once work is submitted, it's unclear who's supposed to review it — or when.
The Solution
Wallxy scopes your access to your specific role the moment you're invited, lets you submit drawings and progress directly against the project, and keeps review/approval authority explicitly with the project owner — so nobody has to guess who signs off.
Most consultant roles land as "Contributor" — here's exactly what that means
When you're added to a project, you typically get the Contributor permission level. Concretely, that means you can:
Upload your own drawings and calculation sheets directly against the project — structural, MEP, whatever you're responsible for
Push your task's progress forward through the project's approval stages
Request elevated access if your scope on a project genuinely expands
What Contributor-level access does not include: inviting or removing other team members, restructuring the project, or reassigning tasks across the team. You're scoped to your work, not the whole project's admin surface — which, for most consultants, is exactly right. You're not trying to manage someone else's team; you're trying to get your drawings in and reviewed.
You submit. The project owner reviews. Every time.
This is the part worth understanding clearly, because it's a genuine platform rule, not just a convention: if your firm is an assigned company on someone else's project (the normal setup for a consultant brought onto an architect's or contractor's job), you can submit and update your own work — but review, approval, and rejection authority stays with the project owner, even on the tasks and drawings you submitted yourself.
That's not a limitation bug — it mirrors how sign-off actually works on a real project. The architect or project owner of record is the one who approves what goes to construction, regardless of who authored the calculation. Wallxy just makes that explicit instead of leaving it to be sorted out over email.
How you actually get onto a project
Unlike a Design & Planning firm building out its own team, consultants are usually on the receiving end of an invite. This is where Invite as Role matters most for you specifically: when the project owner invites you, they pre-select your role — MEP Consultant, RCC Consultant, whichever fits — before the invite is even sent.
That means you land on the project already scoped correctly. No generic "team member" access that someone has to manually adjust later, no back-and-forth about what you should be able to see or touch. You accept the invite, and your access already matches your title.
Where your work sits in the project
Your submissions move through the same approval flow as everything else on the project — Pending → Submitted → Under Review → Approved (or sent back as Revision Required) — with your drawings and tasks landing in Under Review and waiting on the project owner's sign-off, exactly as described above. You always know whether the ball is in your court or theirs.
If you're running your own consultancy
Most consultants join as a team member inside a firm's existing Wallxy workspace — no separate plan needed. But if you're an independent consultant or run your own small practice managing your own client roster, team size is the number to watch when picking a plan:
Free | Go | Pro | |
|---|---|---|---|
Team members | 5 | 10 | 25 |
Projects | 3 | 10 | 25 |
Storage | 12 GB | 256 GB | 512 GB |
Getting started — a short checklist
Accept your project invite and confirm your role/title is what you expected
Upload your first drawing or calculation sheet directly against the project
Move your task to Under Review once it's ready — don't wait to be asked
If your scope on the project changes, use a role request rather than assuming access will follow automatically
FAQ
Can I invite other consultants from my firm onto the project myself?
Not at Contributor level — inviting and managing team membership sits with Admin/Partner roles. If your firm needs more people on a project, that request goes through your firm's admin or the project owner.
Why can't I approve my own submitted drawing?
By design — review and approval authority stays with the project owner even on work you submitted, which mirrors how sign-off works on a real project.
What if my role on a project needs to change mid-way?
Submit a role request rather than assuming broader access will be granted automatically.
