Photograph it. Prove it. Get paid. SiteSnap Pro is built for UK contractors who need evidence, not arguments. Every photo carries the date and time it was taken and the location it was uploaded from, so when a client questions what was done, where, or when, you have the answer. Made for builders, groundworkers, pavers, roofers and bricklayers: snagging, progress photos, handovers and proof of work on construction sites. WHY CONTRACTORS USE IT - Filed by site and plot — every photo goes straight to the job it belongs to - Kept out of your camera roll — SiteSnap doesn't save photos there, so work and personal photos stay separate - Notes on every photo — add measurements like "Driveway block paved 35m²", ready for invoicing - Day works backed up — a photo when you start and one when you finish, both with their times - Timestamped, located photos — the time comes from the photo, the location is recorded as it uploads - PDF evidence reports — professional, branded reports ready to send - Client sharing links — send a job's photos without the client needing an app - Before and after comparisons — show the same spot at two points in the job - Crew invites and issue assignment on Pro — get the whole gang photographing to the same standard - Unlimited projects - Works offline — capture on site, syncs when you're back in signal BUILT FOR SITE WORK No signal in the middle of a field? Photos queue up and upload themselves later. Handing over to a client? One link, no app required. Chasing a dispute over work done three months ago? It's all still there, timestamped and located. TWO PLANS Starter — one user, GPS photos, PDF reports, client sharing, before and after comparisons, 5,000 photos. Pro — everything in Starter, plus a crew of up to 25 with issue assignment, a project dashboard, and 10,000 photos. Both plans include a 14-day free trial. No card needed to start. FROM A CONTRACTOR, NOT A SOFTWARE COMPANY SiteSnap Pro was built by a working paving contractor who got tired of scrolling through a camera roll looking for proof. Every feature exists because a real job needed it.
