Aurigo Masterworks

Aurigo Masterworks is a project and contract management system for capital projects, serving public-sector agencies and facility owners. Available on web, Android, and iOS, it includes a Documents module for storing, organizing, securing, tracking, and managing project files. Administrators can set folder and document permissions, use versioning, comments, annotations, workflows, search, and archiving; the documentation says uploads have no limit on number or size. Form Builder uses XML templates for custom forms and supports role-based permissions. Workflow Management provides configurable approval and clearance processes and works with Form Builder. Other capabilities include Zoom meeting creation after account authorization and GIS configuration for ESRI layers, base maps, authentication, and geometry services. Login options include Masterworks accounts, external identity providers such as ADFS and Azure Active Directory, or mixed modes. Administrators can assign roles and configure SMTP notifications and SSL. Aurigo says it serves organizations in transportation, utilities, healthcare, higher education, and government. Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, the company lists pricing on request.

Masterworks brings document controls, custom forms, and configurable workflows together for capital project management. Pricing is not publicly listed, so organizations need to request it.

It suits public agencies and facility owners managing capital projects and assets, including organizations in transportation, utilities, healthcare, higher education, and government. Teams needing document controls, configurable approvals, and mobile access may find its listed capabilities relevant.

Aurigo Masterworks is capital-project management software for public agencies and facility owners. It is best suited to organizations coordinating project records, forms, and approvals across infrastructure or facility programs. Its strongest case is the breadth of its document and workflow controls; custom pricing makes it harder to assess against fixed-cost tools.

Overview

Masterworks brings project and contract management tasks into a shared system. Its Documents module organizes and secures project files, with folder- and document-level permissions, version histories, comments, annotations, search, workflows, and archiving. The lack of a document count or file-size cap is a practical advantage for large programs with extensive records. It does not, by itself, settle how an organization should govern access or retention.

Form Builder creates and publishes custom forms from XML templates, with role-based permissions. Workflow Management connects forms to configurable approval and clearance processes, including predefined templates. Forms can link to records in Masterworks folders or to externally stored files by URL. This suits organizations that need their own processes represented in software, though those organizations will need to configure forms and workflows to match.

Key features

Project controls and integrations

Administrators can configure identity through Masterworks login, an external identity provider, or a mix of both; ADFS and Azure Active Directory are examples. User roles govern accounts, while external accounts can be restricted to specific application information. These options help organizations align access with existing identity systems and project responsibilities.

Meeting Scheduler can create Zoom meetings within Masterworks once a user authorizes a Zoom account. GIS settings cover ESRI layers, base maps, authentication, and geometry services, and GIS can be enabled in the mobile application. Together, these connections are useful where project coordination depends on meetings and mapped assets, although they add value chiefly to organizations already using those services.

Masterworks also supports project investment models, multi-year planning, approval workflows, and ERP connectivity through an API. Administrators can configure SMTP email notifications and SSL for the SMTP connection. These capabilities point toward program-level administration rather than a narrow document repository.

Pricing

Aurigo Masterworks is paid software with custom pricing. The price is not public, so organizations must request a quote; there is no published plan comparison or public seat or usage allowance to weigh against that price. The documented absence of a cap on uploaded document count and size is useful, but it does not establish limits for other parts of the service.

This model makes the most sense for public agencies and facility owners evaluating a broader capital program platform and able to assess a tailored quote. Buyers who need to compare fixed per-user costs quickly will have less to work with.

Platforms

Masterworks is offered for web, iOS, and Android. Aurigo also describes a native mobile application for iOS, Android, and Windows smartphones and tablets. That gives field and office users mobile access, while the product’s stated platform availability includes web and the two major mobile platforms.

Who it's for

Aurigo identifies public-sector agencies and facility owners as its core audience, including organizations in transportation, water and utilities, healthcare, higher education, and government. Masterworks is a stronger fit for teams managing capital projects and assets across multiple processes than for buyers seeking a lightweight, single-purpose tool.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Broad document controls, including permissions, versioning, annotations, search, and archiving, support orderly project records.
• Pros: No stated cap on uploaded document count or size can accommodate large project archives.
• Pros: Custom forms connect to configurable approvals and clearances, allowing organizations to model their own processes.
• Pros: GIS, Zoom, external identity providers, and API-based ERP connectivity cover common needs across capital programs.
• Cons: Custom pricing requires a sales quote, making early cost comparisons difficult.
• Cons: XML-based form creation and configurable workflows call for organizational setup rather than a ready-made process.

Alternatives

For organizations comparing capital-planning tools, the Capital Planning Software category is a useful starting point.

• Trimble Viewpoint Vista is worth considering if a free plan matters or the organization needs cloud-hosted or on-premises deployment; its paid plan is priced through sales.
• Siemens Origin is another paid option with Android, iOS, web, and API platform support.
• Gordian VFA Capital Planning may suit buyers seeking capital-planning software with pricing discussed through a demo request.
• Intellis FOUNDATION offers configurable Conditions, Needs, Projects, and Plans modules, making it relevant to buyers focused on those areas.
• Oracle Primavera Cloud has named-user services at $12 a month and $55 a month, giving buyers published monthly price points to compare.
• FMX offers a free trial and personalized quotes based on users and features or custom workflows, which may fit teams that want to evaluate the product before pricing.
• UpKeep has no free plan and starts at $24 a month billed per user, with a $55 a month per-user Premium plan also offered.
• Oxand Simeo has a free Simeo Lite plan for up to 3 buildings without simulation, which may suit organizations that want to start with a limited free option.

Verdict

Aurigo Masterworks is a strong candidate for public agencies and facility owners that need document governance, custom forms, configurable approvals, and capital-project planning in one system. Its broad controls and uncapped document uploads are the clearest reasons to consider it. Look elsewhere if predictable public pricing or a minimal setup matters more than configuring a platform around organizational processes.
