Field & Plans Apps
Welcome
Hello, and welcome. This is Super Structures General Contractors — a national general contractor headquartered in Powhatan, Virginia — here to help you and your clients build something that lasts. We're glad you're with us, and we look forward to connecting with you.
Today we're tackling Field & Plans Apps, and it's worth your full attention. Here's what it really comes down to: Field apps keep everyone on the latest drawings and document the job: start cheap with a plans/punch app (Fieldwire, PlanGrid/Autodesk Build) plus CompanyCam photos and a daily-log tool — it pays off immediately in less rework and stronger claims. Master this and you become the person others come to with the hard questions.
These put the current drawings and the job's status in everyone's pocket — ending the "we built from the old plans" disaster.
Useful, beginner-friendly apps
- Autodesk Build / PlanGrid, Fieldwire — always-current plans, markups, and punch lists in the field.
- CompanyCam — photo documentation organized by project (cheap, hugely useful for proof and disputes).
- Raken / Procore daily log — fast daily reports (weather, crew, work done).
- Built-in messaging keeps field and office in sync in real time.
Why it pays off immediately
- Everyone works from the latest revision — no rework from old prints.
- Photos and daily logs create a record that protects you in change orders and claims.
- Punch lists and inspections move faster with everything on a tablet.
Even if you adopt nothing else, CompanyCam + a plans app is a cheap, high-impact starting kit.
Takeaway: Field apps keep everyone on the latest drawings and document the job: start cheap with a plans/punch app (Fieldwire, PlanGrid/Autodesk Build) plus CompanyCam photos and a daily-log tool — it pays off immediately in less rework and stronger claims.
