Bridge Communication Between the Office and the Field with Comments

Groundplan has always been your go-to takeoff software for the pre-construction phase of any project. Grab your plans, quantify materials and output your quantities. 

Now, we reach further into the production cycle. As your project progresses, even as it's nearing completion, users can leave comments on specific locations of the plan.

In the field

An iPad is the ideal Groundplan companion for project managers or anyone working on-site. The new Comments tool really comes into it’s own here. 

Staff on-site can add new comments, respond to existing comments, and even upload photos to document what’s happening on-site and precisely where.

The list of use cases are endless:

  • Hit rock while digging a trench - add a comment to notify the office of the variation
  • A client has decided to change their choice of fitting - add a comment
  • Found defects during your final walk-through - Plot them on the plan with comments

Any issue on site can be documented on the plan in real-time. No more missing variations or defects written on sticky notes that blow away in a breeze. Track any issue on-site, then acknowledge it as Resolved.

In the office

Receive notifications regarding changes on site and update documentation accordingly.

Even the resolved Comments remain accessible for later reference.

Get clear visibility of plan updates, defects, issues and variations and respond accordingly with Comments.

Visit the Help Guide article for detailed instructions on how to use the Comment tool.
