Every minute counts on the construction site: stakeouts must fit, services must be properly documented and the team needs clear guidelines. Using a tape measure, measuring wheel and paper can quickly become complicated, error-prone and time-consuming.
With SitePlan, foremen and site managers take measurements, stake out and create photo documentation directly via smartphone - accurate to the centimeter and without rework in the office.
Measurement: Finished faster with the polishing app, without a measuring wheel
You know the situation: an asphalt surface needs to be measured for billing purposes. Normally, this means getting a measuring wheel, walking over the area, noting down the values - and then laboriously recalculating them later in the office.
With the SitePlan polishing app this is immediate and uncomplicated:
- Smartphone + GNSS antenna: Record points → 5x faster as with measuring wheel
- Automatic calculation: Area, circumference and partial lengths determined directly → 80 % less rework in the office
- PDF measurement report: Created in 3 clicks → 100 % billing-safe
This allows you to take measurements in minutes - without a measuring wheel, chaotic paperwork or hours of office work.
Setting out: Never wait for the surveyor again
Waiting days for external surveyors - just to have a few manholes or house connections marked out? That means downtime for the column and unnecessary costs.
With the SitePlan app, you are immediately ready for action:
- No waiting time: download plans digitally to your smartphone.
- 80% Save surveying costs: Stake out independently with GNSS antenna.
- 1 cm setting-out accuracy: Set shafts, routes or foundations with pinpoint accuracy.
No waiting times, no coordination - You do the marking out yourself, in minutes instead of days.
GPS photodocumentary: evidence automatically located in the plan
Photos are part of everyday life. But later in the office, nobody knows which picture belongs where. There is often a lack of clear evidence for supplements or invoices.
With our Polishing app is different:
- GPS-located: Each photo is automatically saved with coordinates in the map and plan
- No photo chaos: All evidence is clearly assigned
- 100 % safe as evidence: Client and office can see immediately what has been done and where
- Photo report in 1 click: All images exported directly as a verifiable report
- Construction progress in view: The site manager has a complete overview in the office at all times
This means you always have proof and progress to hand - without stress, without discussions.
The main advantage? Radical simplicity
Complicated measuring devices or software with endless menus are impractical for foremen on a daily basis. This is precisely why the SitePlan app developed in such a way that anyone can work with it immediately: No training, no manual, no IT project.
Connect smartphone and GNSS antenna, set points, done. The app takes care of the technology so that you can concentrate on the essentials - building.
This means for you:
- Dimensions 5x faster Done
- Stake out directly yourself - without surveyor
- Photodocu automatically located in the plan
- Ready for immediate use - Just try it out and get started
Conclusion: The polishing app as a game changer in civil engineering
SitePlan turns complicated surveying into simple construction site practice. Measurements, stake-outs and photo documentation are done in minutes instead of hours - without a surveyor, without rework, without training.
In short: The polishing app saves time, reduces costs and makes your construction site instantly digital.
