PlanGrid was priceless on a job like this
We got introduced to PlanGrid from a job that was already using it with Interserve. We used it here from when we started to erect the prefabricated concrete walls. Using PlanGrid was great to collaborate between contractors. We would have at any time 120 people on the site, and upwards of 20 contractors were using PlanGrid at the same time.
PlanGrid was priceless on a job like this. Especially being able to take photographic evidence of our progress. It’s worth it’s weight in gold just for that.
Plangrid has been excellent in the field
Plangrid has been excellent in the field. I use it daily. I think a “next step” for section views (if possible) would be instead of just a hyperlink to the sheet…the pop up of said detail zoomed in. This would save going back and forth from detail to plan to detail to plan in some instances.
