Additionally, syncing can occasionally be slow, particularly when working with large drawing files or in areas with weaker internet connectivity.

From a pricing standpoint, certain useful features are only available in higher-tier plans, which can add up depending on the size of the team.

Estimator

It provides us with accurate information from the field, and people on the field get information from us at the office, so for us is a very efficient communication tool.

Project Engineer

Its real-time update features allow for smooth flow of Project.

The platform is very user-friendly, which makes it simple for both office and site teams to stay aligned without much training.

Everyone is connected, and we are all able to see in real time what is going on in each project, from daily logs, to notes and marks on plans.

What I like most about Fieldwire is how easy it is to manage field operations and keep everything organized in one place.

Owner

I pin drawings and notes, and it saves a lot of back-and-forth.

Siding installer

Great program that offers alot for a company such as courses, templates and much more.

The platform is straightforward to use, which makes it easy to get teams up and running quickly without a steep learning curve.

Estimator/PM

It allows me to capture all of the changes that the design team makes, even if they "forget" to mention it in their write-up.

For an estimator, the document "Compare" feature is the most important.

Production Coordinator

You have to either take a photo or use one previously uploaded.

It is missing a few features that interest me but they are supposedly in releases down the line.

Estimator/Manager

Also needs to have a contact list where you can have customers in the list and then be able to link them to jobs or different tasks so if someone needs to contact a supplier about a delivery, they can easily see who they need to call.

Site Engineer

We use man power & cost to track all sorts of things such as the size of a repair or the quantity of steel used. If we would be able to change the title of these it would be a massive help especially to those new to the projects, with helping their understanding of  how our systems work.

Estimator/project manager

I love the precision picture taking, "on the spot" notifications for every member when changes to projects are made, easy note-taking on top of plans and task managing.

Field Engineer

Great that you can track tasks from text messages, emails, images, attachments, etc... Like video option but would like to see that available outside of tasks 7 attach to plan functions on all platforms even PC.

Chief Estimator

The feature I least like about Fieldwire is not being able to label our construction plans with the same number/description when they are in separate folders.  

Operations Manager

I feel like it should have the ability to set a time a task is due to be done and have Fieldwire send a reminder if a task has not been completed by due date.  

Architect

I typically make a pdf and import into another software for drawing or taking notes; however, I would prefer to make handwritten notes within the Fieldwire application.

Not to mention the ability to link plans, RFIs, files, and forms to ensure small details and changes aren't missed.

I use a Android Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5g, images are horribly compressed and sometimes looked pixelated. Yet with my iphone 6 (several years old) images look regular.

Project Manager

RFIs cannot be created through the software.

I really enjoy using this program and will recommend it to all my follow roofers.

I've used this for accessing drawing files while on site with the contractors and documenting items on punch lists.

The tasks allow for project tracking, documentation, and knocking out your punch list.

It will not allow saving a copy of files on the android device and always says "saving failed" Other than that, the platform is solid so far.

Design Manager

The ability to link associated drawings and details to floor plans saves a huge amount of time every day.

I have a full document folder and drawings accessible on my phone in 3 clicks and its always up to date

It can be a little tricky getting used to how to name drawings so they a uploaded as a new revision rather than a new drawing but its nothing you cant get past

Construction Administrator

The use of voice dictation to create punch list items speeds up the process significantly.

Their forms tab is a great way to ensure paperwork such as check sheets.

Senior Interior Designer

Comments on pins for tasks created help track workflow seamlessly around the office

The customizable reports that can be issued to my team and the contractor's team are easy to read and you can input any type of information you can think of.  

Their needs to be a better organizational structure for uploading images to fieldwire via app.  

HR/ Fleet/ Safety Manager

Experience using this software as far as tracking purposes is very good.

Should be able to search by date range of when image taken or file uploaded as well.

Currently this software is limited for my use for field reports and punch lists.

Images should be searchable and attachable to files without them originally taken within a Fieldwire Form .

There should be a batch photo placement for taking photos placed on the plan

I presume this is because of the local connection speed or the device we use to view the files.

Director

Integration of photographs and notes with plan positioning.

Site supervisor 

Would like to access daily reports on site by week or month to narrow search.

The pages are automatically processed upon uploading and sent to everyone for easy access.

CEO 

No take off feature available to integrate with excel spreadsheets.

Site Manager

The option of marking files is quite archaic, the tools are very old-fashioned.

The software makes accessing plans and collaborating with your project team a breeze.

We should be able to name the same page numbers in different folders !!

Starter

Product Manager

Planradar is great software a cloud based saas software which helps us in digital documentation, sales and reporting where I specially use this in facility management and project lifecycle process.

Tech Co-ordinator

Honestly, the biggest thing for me was being able to flag and assign issues on the spot during setup. When you're coordinating a tech event, load-in day is pure chaos — AV teams, vendors, venue staff all doing their thing at once — and having everything logged in one place with photos and timestamps meant nothing slipped through.

Spezialist der Personalverwaltung

It creates a flawless digital handover and a living log of every asset's history, which is invaluable for planning and compliance.

Project Purchasing Manager

Ultimately, this tool not only streamlines project tracking but also significantly cuts down on paperwork and fosters better team coordination, making it an essential tool for success

My overall experience with planradar is good we are already expanding in various tier 2-3 cities and keeping all the stores data and managing it in real time can only be done with the planradar.

National Lead

It has enabled inhouse customisation and setup, meaning we can adapt to changing requirements and regulations.

IT support

I like that PlanRadar centralizes all project tasks, documents, and communication in one place, which makes collaboration much smoother.

Project Planner

Even though it might require certain time to establish, and the availability of local support might depend on the location, the software offers enough functionality, is easy to use, and provides all its communication in the central place, which is why it can be a helpful resource when it comes to construction and facility management projects.

Head of Technical

Editing of reports is restricted and blank pages often occur in reports, for example due to the bottom boarder of a table being close to the bottom of the page before.

A few users will experience that there is little or no local support in this regard, depending on the area, and it may experience a slight hitches when mobile performance is being tested on very large projects with many tasks or high-resolution images.

EHS coordinator

It made tracking issues, documenting progress, and managing tasks incredibly efficient, saving both time and effort on site and in the office.

For event coordination specifically, it brought a level of accountability and visibility that you just don't get from WhatsApp groups and spreadsheets.

Some advcned feature also require higher tier plans , which can be limiting  for smaller teams.

This is in addition to the unlimited amount of evidential photographs / videos that can be recorded.

Inability to conditionally alter the status on tickets. Although currently unavailable this new feature is due to be introduced.

Speeding up workflow both in recording information, checking it and issuing to clients.

The customer service is responsive, professional and customer responsive and the platform is user-friendly both on the web and mobile.

We now make data-driven decisions on repairs versus replacements, optimizing our budget.

The platform can feel a bit overwhelming at first because of the number of features and configuration options.

Principal Consultant

The field may see an issue (e.g. crack, defect, missing item) but the information travels by paper, email, or phone, losing context.

Civil engineer

The amount of time it saves me while doing reports. Before it used to take me so much time to put the defects and locations now it does it much quicker.

Construction Project Manager

While taking photos through plan radar mobile app, if you are using flash sometimes the photo goes dark and clear enough.

Compliance Team Leader

This has enabled us to streamline our processes dramatically in a short period of time.

The ability to access real-time data and reports was especially valuable for improving transparency and decision-making.

The clear, auditable trail has also strengthened our position in tenant disputes.

The platform has slashed our response times and significantly improved vendor accountability.

Being able to create and customise both tickets and reports is easy and useful.

Civil Engineer

Overall planradar is a positive impact on our business and allows us to minimise work on site and let us work in the office.

manager

great product that offers value for money for features comparatively offered by other parties with similar uses

Honestly the learning curve at the start was a bit much — not everyone on the team is super tech-savvy, and getting everyone onboarded and actually using it consistently took more time than I expected.

Health care assistant

Always keep updating, and its keeps syncing when open and ask you to update the app which sometimes annoys

This reduces the fragmentation that often comes when multiple point tools are used.

Purchase Ledger

It has really helped us with organising our projects well, and has increased communication with staff.

Bookkeeper

The fact that we had to cancel the subscription before the next invoice was received (this should be made crystal clear, not in the fine print of the contract).

Door repair technician

I like how you can change the ticket status.

Amazing product that has revolutionised our site work.

Managing Director Consultancy

Highly customisable and adaptable to suit our business operations.

They will always strive to solve any issue you have if it is possible.

ease of use, ease of collaboration within team aswell as external contractors.

I love this tool, I can upload all the plans and models in one place, and I have real-time access from my mobile devices.

Cashier

Overall experience is great more people should try it it’s very top tier if you ask me I love it if you ask me

tenant

Overall Plan radar is easy to deal with both the web version and mobile version.

Overall, we have had no issues with Plan Radar - it has worked really well for us - even price wise it is really good for us

Overall, it is a great product and has made a huge improvement to our service delivery.
