Your hub for site monitoring

Jump into your interactive 3D site map for quick, comprehensive construction site checks. As your data command center, Propeller is the perfect place to verify progress, check design conformance, and flag safety hazards—powering smarter site monitoring.

Stay a step ahead

Measure site progress, spot design deviations, and check for safety hazards—before they cause delays through real-time site monitoring.

Verify progress at a glance

Use your 3D site map as a living digital twin of your worksite. Compare past and present conditions to show proof of work and prevent disputes.

Keep you crew safe

Identify safety risks by checking road grades, berm heights, and other critical measurements, giving you time to fix problems before they escalate.

Measure twice, move dirt once

Track progress over time, assess design conformance, and measure key site metrics from a single platform.

“Using Propeller means that I don’t have to go out on site which has been very useful during COVID. A lot of our planning team and project managers are also using Propeller because they can get a view of a site without having to leave the office.”

– Pawel Szumski, Engineering Survey Manager at Wills Bros
