Site Surveys & Annotation

Annotate photos with measurements. Survey sites in the field.

Build structured questions for each sign type, then send contractors into the field to answer them — with mobile-first photo annotation, arrows, angles, and measurements. Capture works offline, and completed surveys convert into signs in one click.

Annotation tools

Four purpose-built tools for marking up photos with measurements and notes.

Arrows

Draw directional measurements with labels. Perfect for distances, heights, and clearances.

"2.4m doorway width", "150mm setback"

Angles

Measure corners and slopes with a three-point arc. Tap vertex, then each arm endpoint.

Ramp grades, wall junctions, mounting angles

Text Labels

Place callout notes anywhere on the photo. Add context, descriptions, or identifiers.

"Power outlet here", "Mount at eye level"

Freeform Drawing

Draw freely to highlight areas, sketch outlines, or mark boundaries on the photo.

Circling obstacles, marking sign placement zones

Structured survey questions

Go beyond photos and notes. Define the exact data to capture for each sign type, with conditional logic that adapts to what contractors find on site.

Build a question set per sign type

Define exactly what to capture — single and multi-select, yes/no, number with units, text, date, and 1–5 ratings. Mark questions required and reorder them by drag.

Conditional logic

Show or require a question only when earlier answers call for it. Build AND/OR rules, then test them in a contractor-style preview before you save.

Reusable blocks & version history

Save common question sets as blocks, clone a schema to another sign type, or import and export as JSON. Every save is versioned — diff and restore any earlier version.

Structured capture, offline

Contractors answer the questions on their phone alongside photos and notes. Answers save as they go and sync when signal returns — conditional questions appear automatically.

A clear submit checklist

Required questions, a minimum photo count, and photo annotation requirements are all checked before a survey can be submitted, so nothing comes back incomplete.

Answers carry into the sign

Convert a completed survey and its answers flow straight onto the new sign's fields — one at a time, or in bulk across a whole event.

On the map

Surveys aren't just a list. Plot them on your event maps so contractors know exactly where to go — and let them confirm the spot from the field.

Plot surveys on your maps

Drop surveys onto event site plans and geo maps alongside signs. Toggle the survey layer on or off, and drag a pin to fine-tune its spot.

See a visit at a glance

Highlight a job and its surveys light up and number across the map while everything else dims back — the day's route, made legible.

Position from the field

Let contractors set a survey's exact position on site — by dragging the pin or dropping it on their current GPS location.

Survey jobs

Group related surveys into a single job a contractor picks up as one visit — with a shared brief, scheduling, and construction-site inductions.

Bundle surveys into a job

Group related surveys into one visit a contractor accepts, with rolled-up status and progress that update as each survey is completed.

One brief, all the detail

Customer, site address, site contact, scope of works, and safety notes captured once — and shown to whoever's on site, with tap-to-call and directions.

Schedule the release

Hold a job back until a future date so it only appears to the contractor when the work is ready. Due dates cascade to the surveys inside.

Construction-site inductions

Flag a job as a construction site and contractors must read your site information and acknowledge an induction before they can start any survey.

Capabilities

Everything you need for field surveys — from photo capture to sign conversion.

Mobile-first annotation editor

Full-screen, touch-optimised editor with pinch-to-zoom. Built for phones and tablets in the field.

Reference photo markup

Organisers upload reference photos. Contractors annotate them directly — no need to retake the shot.

Field photo capture

Contractors take new photos on-site from camera or gallery, then annotate with measurements.

Survey management

Create surveys with names, locations, and reference photos. Track status from pending through to reviewed.

Review and approval

Organisers review submitted surveys, approve or reject with feedback. Rejected surveys unlock for revision.

Convert to sign

Turn completed surveys into sign records with one click. All photos and annotations carry over as reference documents.

Due dates

Set an optional complete-by date so contractors know what's next. Overdue surveys light up red on their phone.

From site visit to sign record

Four steps from creating a survey to converting it into a sign.

1

Create a survey

Set a name and location. Upload reference photos of the area to give contractors visual context.

2

Assign to a contractor

Pick a contractor from the event. They see the survey in their mobile app, ready to complete.

3

Annotate in the field

The contractor visits the site, annotates reference photos with measurements, and takes additional field photos.

4

Review and convert

Review the submitted survey. Approve it, request changes, or convert it directly into a sign record.
