Key Modules

First lets understand what to expect from this software in a general overview.

PlanGrid construction management software prides itself on being the first RFI (request for information) solution that takes care of the whole lifecycle of an RFI. Every process from beginning to end that involves your blueprint project is tied together with the help of this software.


The master set you have with PlanGrid provides automatic version control, which makes it possible for you to keep your team updated with anything regarding the project, including any new renders or notes on the blueprints created.



PlanGrid also aims to eliminate the time and effort wasted on doing manual data entry. Its technology allows users to use punch lists to capture photos, locations, and notes from the field that can be shared over the cloud to the rest of the team.


Users can manage thousands of licenses with its admin console while project data is securely saved to the cloud, so you never lose your progress; even if a device goes missing.
