Standout Tools for Master Planned Developers
In large projects like master planned communities, managing hundreds or even thousands of lots, multiple phases of development, and diverse stakeholders can quickly become overwhelming. TraceAir’s specialized tools are built to tackle these challenges head-on.
Visualize Progress, Plan Activities, and Collaborate Seamlessly
One of the biggest challenges in master planned communities is keeping everyone aligned. With multiple stakeholders—project managers, consultants, contractors, and more—communication gaps can lead to costly delays. TraceAir’s platform bridges this gap by offering unlimited licenses and easy collaboration tools, ensuring every stakeholder has access to the latest data.
A standout feature is the Exhibits tool, which creates a collaborative space to overlay project plans with real-world data, giving teams a shared, visual snapshot of progress. Exhibits can be continuously updated with each scan, enabling precise goal-setting, tracking milestones, and keeping the entire team aligned in real-time. This significantly reduces miscommunication and accelerates decision-making.
Manage Large-Scale Earthwork Down to Individual Lots
Managing earthwork across large master-planned communities can be complex, but TraceAir simplifies it with powerful tools designed to handle every phase of development. From grading large areas to tracking individual lot progress, TraceAir provides a clear view of earthwork. The platform’s Earthworks Heatmap and Cross Section tools allow teams to visualize site conditions, quantify dirt balance, and make informed decisions based on actual data.
For individual lots, TraceAir’s Lot Viewer enables developers to track the status of each lot—whether it’s grading, utilities installation, or final inspections—ensuring that every phase of construction is on track, avoiding delays, and keeping projects running smoothly.
Organize Complex Projects Effortlessly
Managing the vast amount of data and documents that come with master-planned communities is a challenge. With TraceAir, developers can organize critical documents, collaborate in real-time, and visually track the project's progress from anywhere. TraceAir’s Subfolder feature is designed to keep everything organized. Teams can create subfolders for different phases, areas of the development, or specific tasks, making it easy to batch-edit overlays, group them logically, and streamline workflows. This level of organization ensures that no data is lost and that critical information can be accessed at any time by any stakeholder.
This feature shines in long-term projects where multiple stages of development are happening simultaneously. With Subfolders, teams can ensure the right data is easily accessible, reducing the risk of missing crucial information as the project progresses.
Onsite Tools for Real-Time Decision Making
Master-planned developments require constant attention to detail at every phase of construction, and missing critical updates can lead to costly delays. With TraceAir’s onsite tools, teams can upload photos and data from the field, allowing for real-time tracking of progress.
Features like the Earthworks Heatmap and Cross Section provide instant insight into site conditions, enabling teams to visualize and quantify project needs without needing to be onsite physically. Whether it's tracking the status of utilities, pavement installation, or monitoring specific lots, these tools offer a clear, quantifiable view of what’s happening at every stage.
