From our own experience in the construction field, we know that a huge amount of data needs to be collected and organized for quantity surveys and photo documentations of construction sites. In order to optimize our own workflow we have developed Plaans - a practical assistant for the daily use to support us handling the following, frequently recurring tasks: "Where should i put the camera, the various pens, the drawing board, the measuring laser, flashlight and the piles of building plans?" Plaans offers basic functions for recording quantity surveys directly on digital construction plans. This helps you keeping your hands free. *** "Where did I take this photo? In what direction did i look?" Take pictures and locate them on your floor plans - including the viewing direction. Place audio and text comments right where they need to be. *** "Lots of pictures, plans and comments. How do I get this organized?" Plaans automatically organizes all collected data in an well-arranged file and folder structure and prepares your projects in interactive presentations. The data and floor plans are easy to manage without additional software. *** Plaans at a glance: - Localized information on digital floor plans - Paperless assistence for quantity surveys - Photos with location and viewing direction indicator - Voice and text comments - Easy data management - Data export as interactive presentations *** Information about Plaans full version subscriptions: - In the full version you can use all features without limitations. - The subscriptions period is 1 month. - The subscription price is 19,99 €. - Payment will be charged to your iTunes account at confirmation of purchase. - Your subscription will automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current subscription period. - Your account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current subscription period.

Digital Geodocumentation and Surveying for the construction, planning and maintenance of infrastructure projects. Built for project teams: GPS navigation in construction plans and satellite map with georeferenced photos, centimeter-accurate measurement, as-built documentation and collaboration. SitePlan enables project teams to navigate PDF plans and a satellite map with their phone GPS. The plans are simply converted into digital GPS maps. Photos taken are also automatically located with their geoposition on the plans and on the map. In addition, each project member can easily connect to GNSS smart antennas, which enables positioning to the centimeter. This makes staking out, centimeter-accurate as-built documentation and digital field measurements a breeze. All data such as plans and photos are available to the entire project team in real time. This enables you to: - See your position on the construction plan and on the satellite map for better orientation - Easily localize plan objects such as lines, e.g. to avoid line damage - Immediately locate construction site photos automatically with GPS - Manage all construction plans digitally - Create conclusive photo reports including location information with just a few clicks Our customers appreciate our app primarily because of: - the simple localization of plan objects (e.g. lines) and the avoidance of line damage - the simple documentation of the construction progress with GPS photos - the much better orientation on the construction site through GPS - the elimination of time-consuming measuring work using tapes and strings - the elimination of time-consuming field measurements using sheets and a wheel - Centimeter-accurate documentation of construction work and local conditions such as lines and pipes
