GPS-Photo Docu
With SitePlan, construction photos don’t end up somewhere—they’re saved exactly where they were taken: geo-referenced via GPS. Whether on the integrated satellite map or in geo-referenced PDF plans.
This saves time, prevents misunderstandings, and reduces coordination efforts between site and office.
Ideal for daily reports, approvals, evidence documentation, and compliance in civil engineering.
➔ All plans and photos live on every team member’s smartphone
➔ GPS-tagging of photos on maps or georeferenced plans
➔ Legally reliable photo reports with all information – generated in seconds
GPS Navigation in Plans & Maps
Via the app, users can navigate in (PDF) plans or the Google satellite map – including GPS position. Ideal for precise orientation and documentation
GPS Photo Documentation
Photos are automatically GPS-tagged – including viewing direction and timestamp. Each capture location is displayed precisely on satellite maps or plans
Comments & Descriptions
Optionally, each photo can be supplemented with an individual description – for context, special details, or intended use
Assign Photos to Layers
Layers can be freely created (e.g., “sub-base,” “utility line,” “asphalt”). Photos can be assigned directly to layers at the moment of capture – including color coding
Sketch Directly on Photos
In the mobile app, photos can be annotated with sketches: lines, arrows, rectangles, circles, and text notes can be added – ideal for dimensions, instructions, or visual highlights directly in the image
Task management
Multiple project members work together in the same project – whether in the office or on site. Everyone sees all photos, plans, and comments – fully structured
Real-Time Sync with Office
All photos are instantly visible in the web portal after capture – no manual uploads or transfers needed. Everyone on the project is always up to date
PDF-Photo Report in One Click
Photos are automatically compiled into a multi-page PDF report – including cover sheet, company logo, timestamp, coordinates, and Google Maps link for each photo
“Photo chaos – I can’t keep track of site docu anymore!”
Thousands of photos – but none where they belong. On a phone, via WhatsApp, in an email attachment.
The foreman took the picture. But when? What was it again? And where exactly? What was the context?
By the time the right images are found, sorted, and prepared, half the day is gone.
Or the proof needed for billing is missing altogether – and nothing gets paid.
Unsorted, unusable – the photo documentation dilemma in civil engineering
➔ Photos are taken somewhere – but not assigned to a location or trade
➔ No GPS, no timestamp – so no real proof
➔ Images scattered across phones, USB sticks, or WhatsApp groups
➔ In the office, context is missing – what was photographed, when, where, and why?
➔ Documentation costs time & nerves – and change orders fail due to missing evidence
More billable work. Less effort.
With SitePlan, every photo becomes a digital proof:
GPS-tagged & legally reliable
Each image automatically includes coordinates, timestamp, and comments
Live overview from the office
See on the map when and where photos were taken on site – in real time
Automatically organized
Photos are stored with category, author & date – easily filterable and searchable
Proof in seconds
Generate PDF reports with logo, coordinates & location link at the push of a button
No rework
No manual sorting, no searching, no loss of control

With the integrated photo gallery and georeferenced plans
SitePlan provides a simplified overview of the construction site. The app is a must-have for every foreman, site technician, and site manager in civil engineering. On top of that, it offers many other helpful tools. Since we started using it, we can’t imagine working without it.

Alex Todo – Civil Engineering Technician, Held & Francke
With SitePlan, our site and photo documentation runs seamlessly.
Our foremen can independently document utilities and handle simple staking – no extensive training needed. All photos and data are digitally secured and centrally accessible. As a site manager, I have everything at my fingertips – without being on site.

Dominik Schmidtzkonz – Site Manager, Pfaffinger Bau
New utility lines are independently photo-documented and measured by the foreman.
For civil engineering documentation, SitePlan has become indispensable. This way, I’m always up to date in the office and also have a solid basis for billing.

Maximilian Rutar – Site Manager, STRABAG
SitePlan delivers all information, including GPS photo documentation, directly to the tablet.
It is especially helpful for linear construction projects – all parties work with the same, up-to-date data. Before SitePlan, making plans georeferenced and available on site was extremely time-consuming. Now, plans are both georeferenced and mobile – what used to be cumbersome and error-prone is now simple and reliable.

Christoph Schwarz – Site Manager, Bernard Group (Pipelines & Plant Construction)
The georeferenced photos are an excellent tool
for securing evidence as well as for assigning and documenting construction sites. In addition, the surveying works flawlessly, and the tilt sensor saves a great deal of time during staking and measurement. The handling is very easy, and several people can work simultaneously on the same project. With the integration of utility plans, external lines are always available. We use the app every day.
