By audience

General Contracting

• Distributes the current drawing set and sheet versions to every field crew, so GCs work off one source of truth instead of paper rolls.
• Logs and routes RFIs and submittals from the field back to the office during Construction.
• Tracks punch/QA tasks with pins on sheets to close out deficiencies before handover.

Specialty Contracting

• Subs pull the latest coordinated sheets on tablets at the work face and mark up installed conditions.
• Create and answer RFIs tied to a specific sheet location without leaving the field.
• Complete assigned punch-list tasks and attach progress photos as proof of work.

Superintendent

• Runs daily field reports and progress photo logs from a phone or tablet on site.
• Assigns and monitors punch/issue tasks across trades and tracks their closure.
• Confirms crews are building to the newest sheet version and flags superseded drawings.

Foreman / Field Supervisor

• References current drawings and details at the work face without carrying paper.
• Captures field photos and marks issues directly on the sheet for follow-up.
• Receives task assignments and updates status as work is completed.

Project Engineer

• Manages the RFI and submittal logs, linking each item to the affected sheet.
• Publishes new drawing revisions and hyperlinks sheets so the field always has current documents.
• Compiles as-built markups and closeout documentation.

Owner/Developer

• Reads the live plan set, progress photos and field reports without waiting for a monthly report from the GC.
• Follows RFI and punch-list status on their own project to see what is open at handover.
• Receives the as-built sheet set and field documentation as the turnover record.

By phase

Construction

• Primary use: field teams access live drawings, log RFIs and field reports, capture photos, and work punch lists from the jobsite.
• Keeps every trade on the latest sheet version as revisions are issued during the build.

Closeout & Operations

• Punch lists are driven to completion and signed off before handover.
• As-built drawings, markups, and field documentation are compiled for the owner turnover package.
