Stop building off last week's plot. Constructified puts the live drawing set on every phone and tablet on site, and it works offline, so crews build off the current sheet instead of the roll in the trailer. The drawing management tool built only for drawings. WHY CREWS USE IT Re-plots eat the morning. Someone's walking the trailer with last week's roll. A crew might already be building off a superseded sheet, and that's how rework starts. Constructified keeps one current set in everyone's hands, on the devices already on site. DRAWINGS - Live current set: the latest revision is what crews open. Superseded sheets are flagged. - Works offline: save the project or the folders you need, then open, view, and mark up sheets with no signal. Markups sync when you're back in coverage. - Auto sheet split and title OCR: upload the set and it's split into sheets and named from the title block, with no manual sorting. - Revision and current-set handling: new revisions take their place in the set without a re-plot or a trailer walk. - Markup layers: give each trade or topic its own layer so electrical doesn't bury architectural and QA notes don't bury RFIs. Turn on only what you need for the huddle. - Markups and measurements right on the sheet. SAFETY FORMS (ADD-ON) - Fill pre-starts and toolbox talks on site, even offline. - Crews sign on the foreman's phone or tablet, right where the work is. No logins for signers. - Forms sync when you're back in coverage, so safety sees them that day, not Monday. - Records stay legible. Share any completed form as a PDF with your company logo when compliance asks. TOOL INVENTORY (ADD-ON) - Scan the code on a piece of kit to see which job it's on, who has it, and when it's due back. - View your tool register with no signal. Open the Tools page once while connected first. - Stop the morning "who has the laser?" hunt. BUILT FOR THE FIELD For general contractors and subcontractors: supers, foremen, PMs, and safety leads. Creators upload and mark up, and everyone else stays current. Viewers are free, so the whole crew can see the live set. START SMALL No rip-and-replace. Try it on one new or small project and keep what works. Free to start. Made in Ontario, Canada. Questions or feedback: contact@constructified.com
