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.
