What CENTERLINE does

CENTERLINE (legal entity CENTERLINE PIM INC.) is a New Orleans-based SaaS company that builds a cloud-based Project Information Management (PIM) platform purpose-built for architecture firms. Founded in 2020 by CEO Chuck Perret, the platform centralizes communication, documentation, RFIs, submittals, change orders, punch lists, and closeout workflows across the entire project lifecycle — from design through closeout — into a single dynamic Project Information Model. The product is differentiated by its architect-specific terminology and workflows (rather than software adapted from general contractor or construction management tools), unlimited users and data across all plans, and native integrations with Bluebeam (markup), Adobe Acrobat (document workflows), and Procore (round-trip RFI/submittal sync with general contractors). CENTERLINE BidConnect, a public-facing companion plan room, extends the platform to contractors and subcontractors for bid distribution, planholder management, addenda, and electronic bid submission.

The company operates a multi-tier subscription business model: CENTERLINE Complete for turnkey single-project deployment starting at $1,495; CENTERLINE Pro for annual firm-wide subscriptions priced from $100 down to $10 per project per month based on volume (minimum five projects); CENTERLINE Enterprise for custom multi-year contracts with mix-and-match features and optional document control administration; and BidConnect priced per bid package. All plans include unlimited users and unlimited data. Go-to-market is a hybrid sales-led and event-driven motion, anchored by demos scheduled through the website, content marketing (architecture-focused blog, YouTube, LinkedIn), and exhibiting at major AEC industry events such as AIA Conference and AEC INNOVATE. Scale indicators include 12,000+ active users, 1,000+ projects actively managed, and $4.1B+ in construction value running through the platform, with a claimed efficiency outcome of 20-30+ hours per week saved on project administration per project team.

The company has raised approximately $1.2M across three funding events (an $800K round in 2020, a VILLAGEx investment in January 2024, and a $400K Boot64 Ventures round in December 2024) and operates with a 1-10 person team. CENTERLINE has a registered service mark (USPTO Reg. 6,982,044) and is preparing to preview new AI-enabled features — including AI-assisted RFI/submittal review and a QA/QC plan checker — at AIA26 and AEC INNOVATE '26 in June 2026.

Direct peers

• Newforma: Newforma provides project information management software for architecture, engineering, and construction firms, including submittals, RFIs, and document control — directly overlapping CENTERLINE's core PIM use case for architecture firms.

Broad incumbents

• Procore: Procore is the dominant AEC operations platform spanning project management, RFIs, submittals, and financials for contractors and owners — overlapping CENTERLINE's RFI/submittal features but from a much broader, contractor-centric footprint.
• Autodesk Construction Cloud: Autodesk Construction Cloud (including BIM 360 and PlanGrid) provides document management, project tracking, and collaboration across AEC, competing with CENTERLINE's PIM at the project-record level while serving a much wider audience.
• Bluebeam: Bluebeam's markup, submittal, and project collaboration tools are deeply embedded in architecture and engineering workflows; CENTERLINE integrates with Bluebeam, but Bluebeam's own Studio/Projects features overlap with parts of CENTERLINE's document control scope.
• e-Builder: e-Builder (a Trimble company) delivers capital program and project management software for owners and AEC teams, competing with CENTERLINE in RFI, submittal, and document workflows across design and construction phases.
• Aconex (Oracle Aconex): Oracle Aconex is a long-established collaboration and project information platform for large AEC projects, overlapping CENTERLINE's document, RFI, and submittal management capabilities at an enterprise scale.

Emerging players

• RedTeam: RedTeam offers project management, estimating, and document control for commercial construction, partially overlapping CENTERLINE's submittal and project information features while focusing on a smaller contractor base.
• Monograph: Monograph is a practice management platform built specifically for architecture firms, addressing project budgeting and time tracking — adjacent to CENTERLINE's PIM focus but solving a complementary architecture-firm workflow problem.
• BQE Core: BQE Core provides project accounting, time tracking, and project management for professional services firms including architecture practices, partially overlapping CENTERLINE's firm-wide project oversight capabilities.

Regional players

• Buildertrend: Buildertrend is a leading construction project management platform focused primarily on residential and remodeling contractors in North America, with overlapping project information features but a different customer segment than CENTERLINE.
