How do construction plans work?
Updated over 11 months ago

Construction plans can be used to visualise where in the project deviations, approved items, and reports are located by pinpointing directly on a construction plan while conducting an inspection or sending a report. You can upload several different construction plans depending on the layout of your project, for an example if you have several different floors or buildings in the project.

You have access to construction plans both in the app on your mobile device as well as the web platform on your computer, to be able to always stay up to date and view the items pinpointed on the construction plan. You also have the possibility to use filters to view specific construction plans, deviations from inspections, actions from reports and checked items to give you a clear overview and make sure nothing is missed on the different floors.

To activate construction plans in your project you only need to contact our support and we'll help you get started. The easiest way to contact our support is by clicking the green button in the bottom right corner of this screen.
