Digital surveying in civil engineering: Field report from 5,000 construction sites
13.05.2025Why do so many site managers choose SitePlan? A look at the 12 most important functions shows how easy modern construction documentation and surveying can be today - directly with a smartphone or tablet, without complicated technology, but with centimeter accuracy.
1. measurement: digitally record points, lines & areas
Forget tape measures, measuring wheels and handwritten sketches. With SitePlan, you can measure any points, lines and areas directly with your smartphone and GNSS antenna - precisely, quickly and georeferenced. All results, including area, length and coordinate data, are immediately available in the office.
2. staking out & localization: work from the digital plan
Convert your conventional PDF plan into a GPS plan by georeferencing and use it to precisely mark out and locate objects such as manholes, kerbs or pipe routes. Ideal for line markings, precise preparations or follow-up checks for civil engineering.
In addition to PDF plans, DWG and DXF plans are also supported.
3. photo documentation with GPS & metadata
Document defects, construction progress or special conditions directly on site. Each photo is automatically saved with GPS coordinates, time stamp, direction, category and comment.
4. automatic project documentation
All data - photos, measurements, tasks - are automatically stored chronologically, georeferenced and project-related. This creates a complete digital construction file that can be used for invoicing, verification and internal processes.
5. plan import & CAD integration
Load PDF, DXF or DWG plans directly into SitePlan, georeference them and use them on the construction site for setting out, measuring or documentation. This turns your plans into an active tool - directly on your smartphone.
6. live synchronization between construction site and office
All data is automatically synchronized between the construction site and the office - in real time. No more manual transfers, WhatsApp messages or USB sticks. Foreman and site manager always work on the same level.
7. measurement reports at the touch of a button
Create complete, verifiable PDF reports of your measurements - with plan view, coordinate lists and area/length information. Perfect for daily measurements or invoicing. Everything can be exported - also in DXF format for further CAD processing.
8. multi-user function & rights management
Several users can work on the same project at the same time. Thanks to individual rights assignment, all participants only edit the content relevant to them. Synchronization is automatic - for real teamwork between the construction site and the office.
9. fully functional offline
Even without internet access, all core functions such as measurements, photo documentation and task processing remain available. As soon as a connection is established, the app automatically synchronizes all data. Ideal for remote construction sites.
10. data export in common formats
Export measurements as DXF, CSV or PDF, photos as photo reports with coordinates, comments and time stamps. This makes it easy to transfer measurements and photos to existing processes and systems - without manual post-processing.
11. open API & software integration
SitePlan is not an isolated solution. Integrate SitePlan seamlessly into your existing software landscape: You can connect it to other systems via the open API and exchange measurement data or photos automatically.
12. task management: coordination instead of paperwork
Create and manage tasks directly in the app - including photos, comments, status and position. Whether daily instructions, queries or defects - everything is documented, traceable and linked to the construction site.
+ Bonus: Radically simple. Ready to use without training.
SitePlan is so intuitive that even non-technical colleagues can get started within minutes. No technical jargon, no complicated interface. Simply select a project, measure, document - done.
Digital surveying with SitePlan
With SitePlan, you can digitize surveying and construction documentation where they are created: directly on the construction site. Without specialist knowledge - precisely and always synchronized with the office.
