DocSweep: Built by Page One to Eliminate Duplicate Drawings, Streamline Construction Litigation Review, and Deliver Faster Insights — All Within RelativityOne

In a large-scale construction litigation, our law firm partner faced a major challenge: tens of thousands of duplicate drawings, and other related files were inflating their review volumes.

Multiple custodians had shared and re-sent the same files—AutoCAD drawings, PDFs, specifications, and image-based plans across countless emails, network storage and project updates. The result? Thousands of identical files scattered across the workspace, driving up costs and slowing progress.

The duplication issue wasn’t just a nuisance; it risked blowing budgets and overall case efficiency.

The Solution: DocSweep — A Custom Page One Solution Built for RelativityOne

To address the duplication crisis, the team partnered with Page One, who deployed DocSweep, a custom-built product designed to detect, manage, and eliminate duplicate documents and attachments directly within RelativityOne.

Developed in-house by Page One’s automation engineers, DocSweep seamlessly integrates into RelativityOne to help teams:

  • Identify and link exact duplicates across massive construction datasets using unique hash values

  • Consolidate review efforts by selecting a single “source” copy for coding and analysis

  • Automatically propagate coding decisions to all matching duplicates

  • Suppress redundant files from review queues, reducing reviewer fatigue

  • Maintain defensibility through transparent audit logs and full propagation reporting

Unlike external deduplication tools, DocSweep runs entirely within RelativityOne, preserving data security and ensuring minimal disruption to active review workflows.

The Outcome: Over 10,000 Duplicate Drawings and Files Eliminated

In this construction litigation matter, DocSweep identified and linked more than 10,000 duplicate drawings and technical files, including DWG, DXF, PDF, and image-based plans that would have otherwise been reviewed multiple times.

By removing these redundancies, the team achieved:

  • A 60% reduction in total review time

  • Tens of thousands of dollars in cost savings

  • Higher accuracy and consistency in coding across all file types

By automating duplicate detection and propagation, DocSweep transformed an overwhelming construction dataset into a focused, efficient, and defensible review allowing attorneys to concentrate on project timelines, contract issues, and strategy instead of redundant files.
