Hand Your Owner What Actually Went In.
The crews on your job scan a QR sticker to get the current drawing for the room they're in. From that same scan they capture each device (serial, model, photo) and pin it to the drawing before the wall closes. At closeout you know what's really in the building, device by device.
You already owe this at closeout.
Your contract calls for as-builts and closeout documents. The owner wants serial numbers, models and locations, and none of that exists on the day the drawings get stamped.
When it's missing at the end, somebody gets sent back into a finished, occupied building to read nameplates. That trip is expensive, and closeout, and your retainage, waits on it. Capturing as you go is the cheapest way to deliver what you already owe.
Four things it does on the job.
The Current Print
A QR sticker in the room opens the exact drawing view for where the crew is standing. Not just the sheet. No flipping, and no stale set that gets built from, torn out and rebuilt.
A Record of What Went In
Serial, model and photo, captured at rough-in, before concealment. That's the only moment any of it is free to capture.
A Gate Before the Wall Closes
For equipment that has to be recorded, the app won't let it be marked roughed in until the capture is done.
The Daily Report Builds Itself
The same scans that get a foreman the right drawing become the daily report, generated and emailed on a schedule you set.
Something you can name in a proposal.
Drawings say what was supposed to be installed. A serial number never appears on them, but warranty, recalls, insurance and the owner's whole service program all run on serials. So the owner spends years finding out what actually went in.
You're on site at the one moment that gap can be closed for free. A record of what was installed, captured as the work happened, is a deliverable you can put your name on.
Honestly, what changes on site.
Very little. A foreman scans a sticker to get the drawing, and the capture starts from that scan. No app to install and no password to remember.
What it does need is your mandate. Crews adopt a tool when the person running the job requires it, the same way you require a hard hat. If it's in the scope, it happens. If it's optional, it doesn't.
We're not replacing Procore.
Keep it. Procore is your office system and TradePlane doesn't compete with it. We're the capture at the wall, underneath. TradePlane is not connected to Procore today. That connection is on the list, and we'll say "not yet" until it's real.
What's real today, and what isn't.
Working now
- Multi-sheet PDF plan sets, with equipment schedules read into device records
- QR sticker to the exact drawing view for the room
- Serial, model and photo, captured before concealment
- A capture gate before equipment can be marked roughed in
- A code-tied rough-in checklist on each device, with real citations (IMC, NEC, IPC)
- Live percent complete by trade and zone
- Daily report, generated from the day's scans and emailed on schedule
Not yet
- A finished closeout or turnover package built from the data: not yet. The capture is real; the packaging isn't built
- One combined view across every sub company on the job: not yet
- A read-only login for the owner: in build
- A Procore connection: not yet
Don't let anyone tell you the as-built assembles itself. It doesn't, yet. What's real is that the data underneath it is being captured, which is the part that's usually missing.
Try it on one job.
Pick one job and one area. We set it up with your drawings, your foreman scans, and you see what the record looks like. If it isn't clearly useful, we stop.
