Siding installer

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

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.

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.

Owner

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

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 !!

Ease to access information for field workers when working in areas with no reception or outside working hours.  

Creating a new project, especially naming all the shots one by one, is atrocious sometimes.

Should be easier to export or print directly from application, rather than sending a web link via email.

Photo documentation and daily reports are the easiest and best

Overall, Fieldwire has many features our office can utilize but we are still in trial phase for it.

Punchlists, forms with workflows, integrated photos

BIM Engineer

While customization is a strength, complex configurations might be challenging for some users

Again not good during a safe start or during a QA check with the client.

Finance Director

It is easy to use alongside other users, sharing fields and forms.

IT Manager

Poor training, very poor drawn out support, very expensive system which underdelivers in pretty much all areas.   Although functional to a degree, the interface is outdated, partially converted, developments and requests are sooo slow to action by Viewpoint including the progress report which stopped working for MONTHS! - Inconsistent butons eg Delet in one screen deletes whilst in another it merely de-selects but doesnt delete. Although fedback at the start its still the same 2 years later.   If we leave the system in October we would have to download the data or pay for a viewing license-

Quality assurance

can take a while to learn setting up project processes integration into new fieldview

Sys eng

Difficult learning curve and not an easy ‘sell’ to the users initially but it does help field reporting
