Site progress and planning tools for foremen and superintendents
Start the day with a shared view of your site. Review measured progress, compare surveyed conditions against design, and keep field and office teams aligned. When plans need exploring, use Propeller CAD to create preliminary earthworks concepts on your survey terrain.
Use Propeller’s progress tracking tools to measure changes between surveys and understand what remains to reach design.
The data your day runs on
Know where the work stands
Compare your latest surveys to measure material movement and remaining cut and fill. Bring measured quantities into your morning planning conversations, with the survey dates clearly in view.
Grade conformance software for construction
Compare your current surface to design and catch deviations before they cost you. Know what’s already been graded so crews work the right ground, move phases with confidence, and avoid the rework that kills a schedule.
Use site checks and design comparisons to review grades, elevations, and current conditions before crews move into the next phase.
Close the field-to-office loop
Mark up issues, drop hazard pins, and document site conditions from any device. Everything captured in the field syncs instantly to the office. No clipboard, no back-and-forth.
Use Propeller’s field communication and collaboration tools to keep measurements, media, markups, and project context connected between field and office.
“We had three or four very large utility conflicts. We had a 16-inch water main cutting through the site that was in the wrong location [and] the main power feeds for the airport cutting through the site that were in the wrong location.”
– Brian Holm, Project Superintendent at Hensel Phelps
Built for how you actually work
From morning standup to end-of-day reporting, Propeller fits into the workflows you already rely on, making every one of them faster and more accurate.
Bring measured progress to the morning standup
Review what changed between survey captures and what remains against the design. Use surface comparisons, cut/fill measurements, and reports to give crews and the office a shared starting point for the next stage of work.
Cut/fill to design software
Use cut and fill comparisons to quantify over-excavation, under-excavation, and remaining earthwork before calling a phase complete.
Construction site documentation app
Record field observations, pin photos and notes to mapped locations, and flag areas needing attention. Give office and field teams shared context for follow-up checks and coordination.
Documentation without the clipboard
Keep mapped notes, photos, and shared links together so field and office teams can review the same site context from their devices.
Explore your next move on real site terrain
Need an access ramp, work pad, or temporary road? Describe what you need and use Propeller CAD to create a preliminary earthworks concept on your survey terrain. Refine the idea and share it with your engineering team for qualified review before field use.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Propeller lets you compare your current survey surface directly against your design on the map, so you can spot deviations, confirm conformance, and move phases with confidence — before the wrong call becomes an expensive correction.
Propeller mobile lets you view your real-time location against designs, mark up site conditions, drop hazard pins, and share updates — all from your phone or tablet. You don’t need to be at a desk to stay across what’s happening on site.
It doesn’t have to. Propeller works alongside your existing tools and integrates with the software your office already uses. Many crews use it to reduce how often they need a survey crew for day-to-day production checks, freeing that resource for the work that genuinely requires it.
Grade conformance software compares current site elevations with an approved design surface to show where work is above, below, or aligned with plan. Foremen and superintendents can use grade checks and surface comparisons to identify deviations before moving into the next construction phase.
Compare surveys from different dates to measure material movement, then compare the latest surveyed surface with design to understand remaining work. Results reflect those survey captures; new survey data is needed to measure subsequent changes.
Use Propeller CAD to explore preliminary roads, ramps, and pads on real survey terrain. Refine concepts to communicate an option to your engineering team, then obtain the appropriate review and approval before field use.
