Surveys on the Map, Surveys as Jobs

Site Surveys started as a simple idea: send a contractor to a spot, have them photograph and measure what's there, and turn that into a sign. It worked. But as teams ran bigger sites, two things kept coming up. Where exactly is this survey? And can we just send someone the whole list at once?

So we built both. Surveys now live on your maps, and related surveys can be grouped into a single job a contractor picks up as one visit. Here's what's new.

On the map

Surveys aren't just a list anymore — they belong on your site plan.

Place them where they go. Open any event map, switch on the Surveys layer, and drop surveys onto the plan right alongside your signs. Works on uploaded site plans and on geographic maps. Drag a pin to fine-tune it; the position saves itself.

See a whole visit at a glance. Pick a job from the Highlight job selector and its surveys light up and number across the map while everything else dims back. It's the day's route, made legible — no filtering, no guesswork.

Let the field confirm it. Sometimes the right spot is only obvious when you're standing there. When you allow it for an event, contractors can set a survey's exact position from their phone — by dragging the pin, or dropping it on their current GPS location.

Surveys as jobs

A survey job bundles related surveys into one piece of work. Instead of assigning ten separate surveys for the same site, you create one job, attach the surveys, and the contractor sees a single thing to go and do — with all the site information in one place.

One brief, all the detail. Each job carries a brief: the customer, the site address, who to call when they get there, the scope of works, and any safety notes. You capture it once, and it's there for whoever ends up on site — with tap-to-call and one-tap directions built in.

Status that takes care of itself. A job rolls up its own progress — "3 of 9 done" — straight from the surveys inside it. You never set it by hand.

Schedule the release. Not ready for a contractor to see a job yet? Give it a release date and it stays hidden until then, then quietly appears — and the contractor gets an email. Set a due date on the job and it cascades to the surveys inside.

Construction sites, handled. Flag a job as a construction site and the first time a contractor taps Start, they're asked to read your site information and acknowledge an induction — typing their name and confirming — before they can begin any survey. It's recorded for your records, once per job, and re-asks if site conditions change.

On site, it just flows

For the contractor, all of this lands as My Jobs: their assigned work, most urgent first, each with progress and a due date. Open a job and the brief is right there — address with directions, contact with a tap to call, scope, safety notes, and a link to the project folder. It's cached on the device, so the key details survive a dropped signal. Tap a survey to start capturing photos and answers the way they always have.

Getting it

Surveys on maps and survey jobs are part of the Site Surveys add-on. If you're already using surveys, they're ready for you — no migration, nothing to switch on. If you're not yet, take a look at what Site Surveys can do.

Same surveys you know. Now they know where they are, and they travel together.
