Install capture for MEP field crews

Stop
Flipping.
Start
Building.

Scan a QR code and land on the exact drawing for the room you're standing in, so your crew builds off the current print, not the stale one that gets torn out and rebuilt. Every device (serial, model, photo) is captured before it's concealed, so you own a verified record of what got installed. The daily report writes itself from the same scans, for free.

The Problem

The drawings are the job. So why aren't they working for you?

You're flipping through plan sets, digging through email, and chasing foremen at end of shift. Half the time the crew already built off a sheet that changed, and you still owe the GC a complete report before you leave.

Every foreman, super, and PM is dealing with the same problem: critical information is buried inside static drawings. Which receptacle ties to which circuit? What did Crew 3 log on Level 4 six hours ago? Where's the submittal the inspector just asked for?

That's not a people problem. That's a tool problem. And it's costing you time, accuracy, and protection when disputes arise.

"If it's not documented, it didn't happen. Not to your GC, not to the owner, not in arbitration."

Who It's For

Built for every seat at the table.

Whether you're running crews in the field or tracking costs from the office, TradePlane gives everyone the visibility they need from the same set of drawings.

Specialty Trade Contractors

You're managing multiple crews across multiple floors, tracking device installations, and logging daily activities. You still owe the GC a complete report by end of shift. TradePlane was built for exactly this.

Every crew log ties directly to the drawing — the exact location, device, and crew that did the work. Daily report compiles automatically. Submittals are one tap away.

Field

Device-to-Panel Traceability

Every receptacle and device linked to its circuit, panel, and endpoint instantly.

Reporting

Daily Report Writes Itself

Field logs compile into a GC-ready report before end of shift, automatically.

Documents

Submittals on the Spot

Pull any submittal directly from the drawing. No binder, no email hunt.

Mobile

Works From Your Phone

Built for field use. Log, tag, and access drawings on any phone or tablet on site.

General Contractors

You owe the owner a clean handoff, and you're coordinating trades across a job site you can't always stand on. TradePlane gives you a verified record of what your subs actually installed — captured before it's concealed — plus live status straight from the drawings.

Every sub's daily log feeds into a unified project view tied to the drawings. No more chasing incomplete reports or reconciling what three subs claim happened on Level 6 yesterday.

Visibility

Cross-Contractor View

See what every trade logged on the drawing, without making a single phone call.

Reporting

Sub Reports Consolidated

All sub reports in one place, on time, every day. No gaps, no chasing.

Location

Drawing-Native Activity Log

Activity tied to exact drawing locations, not a generic paragraph in a PDF.

Risk

Auditable Paper Trail

Every activity logged in real time. A defensible record for disputes and inspections.

Owners & Developers

You're relying on field reports that are only as accurate as what a foreman typed at 5pm after a 10-hour shift. TradePlane gives you proof of what's actually in your building — every device captured before the wall closes.

Real-time activity tied to the drawings during the job. The install data captured at rough-in — serial, model, photo, location — accrues into the record your facility team inherits at handoff.

Transparency

Real-Time Field Activity

Know what crews installed today, where, and which inspection checkpoints are cleared.

Risk

Auditable Daily Record

A complete, defensible paper trail for disputes, inspections, and closeout.

Post-Construction

As-Built Record, Accruing

Every device captured at install stays tied to its drawing location, building the as-built record your facility team inherits at handoff.

Submittals

Equipment Packages Linked

Every piece of equipment has its submittal package tied to it, before the inspector asks.

Facility & Property Managers

When construction ends, the building's knowledge usually walks off the job with the last foreman. You inherit a box of binders and a PDF set with no idea what's connected to what. TradePlane hands you a live map instead.

Every device, circuit, panel, and system tied to the drawing you can actually navigate. Maintenance becomes a drawing interaction, not a document treasure hunt.

Navigation

Interactive Building Map

Tap any device on the as-built to see its panel, circuit, spec section, and submittal.

History

Complete Install Record

Who installed what, when, and what inspection was completed at every location.

Systems

Device-to-Panel Traceability

Trace any device back to its source without calling the trade contractor who built it.

Handoff

Structured O&M Package

A real O&M manual tied to drawings, not a binder that nobody opens.

How It Works

Three steps from scan to a verified record.

TradePlane was built around the drawings your crews are already using, not another system they have to learn from scratch.

01

Scan the QR Code

A physical QR sticker on the wall routes to the exact drawing viewport for that room. No app navigation. No password. One scan, right detail, instantly.

02

Update Status on the Spot

Log install progress, check device-to-panel traceability, pull submittals for any device. Everything tied to the exact location on the drawing, in real time.

03

You Own the Record

Every scan captures what got installed, and where, before it's covered, so you walk away with a verified record of what your crew built and the proof to back it. The GC-ready daily report writes itself from the same activity, for free.

Design Partner Program

We're still early. That works in your favor.

A small number of specialty contractors are working directly with us to build TradePlane. Design partners get more than access — they get a seat at the table while the platform is still being shaped.

While You're a Design Partner

  • Direct Founder Access

    You work directly with the people building TradePlane. Questions get answered fast. Issues don't sit in a queue.

  • Influence the Roadmap

    Your workflows, your pain points, your field feedback shapes what gets built next. Not a survey — a conversation.

  • Hands-On Setup

    We come to your site, configure it with your drawings and crews, and stay until it's running the way you need it to.

As the Platform Grows

  • Locked-In Preferred Pricing

    Design partners hold their rate as TradePlane scales. You don't pay more when more contractors come on.

  • First Access to New Features

    New capabilities ship to design partners first — before general availability, and often built around your input.

  • Founding Partner Recognition

    You helped build this. That's visible when it matters — to your peers, your GCs, and the broader industry.

Let's Build Together

Your crews are already on site. Let's make the drawings work.
