BeaverPlot turns your iPhone or iPad into a professional scan-to-BIM tool — and a field companion that makes sure extra work gets paid. Walk through any residential space, capture it with LiDAR, and generate industry-standard floor plans, 3D models, AI-drafted reports, and a home inventory in seconds. And when a job grows beyond the quote, write a signed work ticket before the crew leaves the site. ROOM SCANNING REQUIRES LiDAR — iPhone 12 Pro or later, or iPad Pro (2020 or later). Work Tickets, outdoor measuring, and every calculator work on any iPhone. HOW IT WORKS 1. Scan — Walk through a room using RoomPlan + LiDAR to capture walls, doors and windows 2. Edit — Fine-tune dimensions, adjust wall positions, and calibrate with a single tape measurement so every export is to scale 3. Export & Share — Generate professional deliverables, draft an AI report, build a home inventory, or share a walkable 3D tour link that opens in any browser WORK TICKETS — GET PAID FOR EXTRA WORK When the GC, super, or homeowner asks for work that isn't in the contract, write it up in 60 seconds: snap photos, dictate what was asked for, add time & materials — then hand them your phone to sign. The ticket locks, and a signed change-order PDF is generated on your device, ready to share on the spot. Track every ticket from signed to invoiced to paid, with a running outstanding total and reminders so nothing goes unbilled. Your tickets live in your own files (Files > Beaverplot > Tickets) and never touch a server. SHARE 3D TOURS Turn any room scan into an interactive 3D tour you can text or email. Recipients open it in any web browser — no app required — and can explore the space with per-room measurements. (Pro) AI REPORTS Turn a scan plus your photos and notes into a professional report — property condition, real-estate listing, punch/snag list, or damage & restoration scope. Choose the tone and what to focus on, then review and finalize your editable draft. (Pro AI) HOME INVENTORY Photograph your rooms and let AI list your belongings — item, brand, and room — for insurance, moving, warranties, or your own records. Edit the list, add your own details, save it on your device, export a PDF, or attach it to a project.

ImageMeter

ImageMeter puts measurements and notes directly into your photos. No more hand-drawn sketches that nobody understands: take a photo on site, draw the dimensions where they belong, add notes, detail images, or audio notes, and send a clear document to your clients and colleagues. ImageMeter is used by tradespeople, carpenters, kitchen and interior designers, property managers, sign makers, insurance assessors and many more. ENTER MEASUREMENTS YOUR WAY • Bluetooth laser meters: send measurements straight into the image. ImageMeter supports most laser distance meters with Bluetooth and, where the device allows it, triggers measurements remotely (https://imagemeter.com/manual/bluetooth/devices). • Measure in the image: set a reference, such as a known wall size, a sheet of paper or a known length, and ImageMeter calculates lengths and areas, even on surfaces seen in perspective. • Or simply type in the values from your tape measure. TOOLS FOR EVERY JOB • Lengths, areas, angles, circles and rectangles • Measurement strings and polylines • Counting tool • Text notes, freehand drawings and arrows • Audio notes and detail pictures inside the image • Line styles, colors, font sizes and arrowheads • Brightness, contrast and saturation for poorly lit photos PDF PLANS Import floor plans and drawings from PDF files. ImageMeter takes the scale of the drawing into account, so you can measure right on the plan. EXPORT AND SHARE • Images as JPEG or PNG, annotated PDF documents and PDF reports • Data tables for bills of materials or measurement logs, ready for your spreadsheet • Editable image files for other ImageMeter users YOUR CLOUD, YOUR DATA Sync your images with the cloud storage of your choice: OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive, your own Nextcloud/WebDAV server or SFTP. Continue working on your office computer with ImageMeter for macOS, Windows and Linux. FREE, PRO AND BUSINESS ImageMeter is free to download and try. The free version has a limited number of measurements per image, and exported images carry a watermark. Pro (one-time purchase) adds: unlimited measurements, no watermarks, PDF import and annotation, subfolders, unlimited range for Bluetooth laser meters, circles and rectangles, measurement strings, counting tool, perspective length measurement and audio notes. Business (monthly or yearly subscription) includes everything in Pro, plus image sync between your devices and backup to your own cloud storage, your company logo on images, data table export and layers. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel them in your App Store account settings.
