Read full descriptionHide full description
Plaans turns your site walk into a finished defect report: photos, voice notes and measurements land right where they belong on the plan – and the PDF report is just one tap away. For surveyors, architects, site managers, engineers and facility managers who document on site and don't need a big construction platform. HOW IT WORKS 1. Import a plan: a PDF or a photo of a floor plan. 2. Capture on site: photos with viewing direction, voice and text notes, measurements and sketches – each in its place on the plan. 3. Create the report: PDF report, interactive plan for the browser and CSV for Excel. YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU No sign-up, no cloud. All data stays on your device, and you decide who you share it with. Plaans also works offline. FEATURES - Photos with location and viewing direction on the plan - Voice notes, transcribed to text if you like - Text comments and colored layers - Length, height and angle measurements - Draw sketches, use photos in place of a plan - Connects to laser distance meters (Leica DISTO, HILTI PD-I) - PDF report, interactive plan, CSV export - For iPhone and iPad PRICING Free for small projects with up to two plans.

Diese App ermöglicht die mobile Arbeit mit dem ncore-Prüfsystem. Sichern Sie vor Ort auf der Baustelle "ncore Qualität", indem Sie systematisch Qualitätsprüfungen nach vorbereiteten Prüfplänen durchführen, überprüfen Sie ausgeführte Leistungen ad hoc, oder nehmen Sie gefundene Mängel direkt mit dem Smartphone auf. Prüfungen und Mängel werden gewerkweise erfasst, in der Bauteilstruktur des Bauvorhabens verortet und können direkt mit Fotos und Freitext-Erläuterungen angereichert werden. Erfasste Mängel werden direkt an die betroffenen Nachunternehmer weitergeleitet.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: n.core build at none against Plaans's 5. n.core build also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
