summary
A simple construction field report and punch list tool that saves lot of time and nerves by generating and accessing construction reports onsite. Draft, draw, make notes and take photos and comment from any iOS or Android smartphone or tablet.
Project idea
The client came with the idea of going mobile. So we needed to develop a construction manager app for existing ArchiSnapper service. It should seamlessly synchronize all projects and report data in the cloud and grant 24/7 access to all reports and punch lists from any device.
Architects should be able to create field reports for their projects: add remarks, mark construction statuses, take photos, make notes, and add them to PDF plans and field reports.
