PlanWatt
Field progress on the drawings

Walk the job on the plans.

PlanWatt turns construction drawings into a shared field progress map. Open the plan set on a phone or iPad, mark installed work, add photos and notes, and see progress build sheet by sheet instead of trying to explain the job from memory.

The problem

A job walk should leave more behind than a conversation.

Foremen and PMs already know the fastest way to explain progress is to point at the drawings. The problem is that the markup, photos and context often stay on one person’s device — or disappear after the walk.

PlanWatt turns that markup into a shared project record.

What it does
01

Mark installed work directly on the sheet.

Tap or draw over the work that is complete. Use a project legend to distinguish progress states, notes and issues so the drawing becomes the visual record of what the field is seeing.

Select, freehand, rectangle, text and photo tools, with a real legend of progress colors.

02

Let the drawing keep score.

PlanWatt can detect drawn runs and measure marked progress across the sheet. Progress is based on the drawing linework — a practical field proxy for installed work, not a replacement for the estimate takeoff.

03

Turn marked progress into earned labor context.

Enter the job’s budgeted labor hours and PlanWatt can translate marked progress into completed and remaining hours, giving the team another way to judge pace during the job.

04

Photos and issues stay on the job walk.

Attach photos and notes while looking at the same drawing. The office gets more than a percentage; it gets the context behind it.

05

See who changed what.

The activity log keeps a visible history of changes so shared markup does not become an anonymous drawing that nobody wants to trust.

06

Export the field view when someone outside the system needs it.

Export marked plans or reports to PDF or PNG where supported so the project can still communicate with owners, GCs or internal teams that are not using PlanWatt.

One project · one data spine

Field progress, tied to the same project.

Comes in

Plan set, project name, legend and progress states, and the job labor budget where used.

PlanWatt does

Shared drawing markup, visual progress, photos and notes, activity history and progress math.

Works with

JobWatt project tracking and TimeWatt crew time as the platform matures.

Important distinction

PlanWatt progress is drawing-based field progress — it is not the estimate takeoff.

Who uses it

Built for the people doing the work.

  • Foremen
  • Project managers
  • Superintendents
  • Estimators doing site verification
  • Teams that already communicate progress by marking plans
Getting started

It should fit how you already work.

What we will not do

We do not publish customer counts, time-savings percentages, certifications or integration claims we cannot show you in the product. If a capability is planned rather than shipped, we will say so on the call.

Fair questions

PlanWatt, answered straight.

Is PlanWatt an estimating takeoff tool?

No. WattEstimate is the estimating takeoff product. PlanWatt is for field progress and job-walk markup against the drawings.

Can multiple people share the same project?

Yes, where the project is set up for shared access.

How is progress calculated?

PlanWatt measures marked progress against detected drawing linework. It is a field progress proxy, not a replacement for the original estimate quantities.

Can I add photos and notes?

Yes, and they stay attached to the project so the field context is not lost after the walk.

Can I export the marked plans?

Yes, where the production app supports PDF and PNG export.

PlanWatt · next step

Make the next job walk visible to the whole team.

Bring a plan set to the demo. We’ll mark real progress on the drawings and show how the field view can become a shared project record.
