Imagine this: You’re managing a sprawling new development, and the project timeline is tight. Crews are working on multiple utility installations simultaneously—water, sewer, electric, internet—but no one has a clear, consolidated view of progress. You’re left juggling spreadsheets, site visits, and emails, trying to answer a simple question: How much of the work is done, and how much is left? The clock is ticking, and every delay chips away at the bottom line.

That’s exactly why we developed our new Utility Tracking Tool—to eliminate guesswork and give you complete control over utility installation tracking.

Key Benefits

  • ​​Overlay Construction Drawings: Upload and overlay construction drawings directly onto the platform, allowing teams to visualize real progress in relation to the original plan. Homebuilders can trace installed utilities over the drawings to ensure everything is aligned with design specifications.
  • Dynamic Progress Updates: After each new scan, simply trace the newly installed utilities, and the tool will instantly recalculate totals and percentages. This ensures you have precise, up-to-date data at your fingertips—no manual recalculations needed.
  • Customizable Visuals: Assign colors to utility categories for clear differentiation and better collaboration.
  • Enhanced Accuracy: Automated calculations reduce errors, ensuring precise data for better decision-making.
  • Improved Project Visibility: Quickly identify bottlenecks, track progress, and provide clear, up-to-date visuals for meetings, ensuring stakeholders can easily understand the current status of the project. This level of project visibility is especially valuable when managing multiple projects at different stages, helping teams make informed decisions and stay aligned across various workflows.

How It Works

The Utility Tracking Tool streamlines progress tracking with just a few simple steps:

  1. Overlay Drawings: Upload construction drawings and overlay them on the site to ensure utilities are being installed as planned.
  2. Input Total Utility Length: Enter the required footage for each utility type.
  3. Trace Installed Segments: After each new site scan, trace the segments that have been installed.
  4. Visualize Progress: The tool calculates updated measurements and percentages, generating a color-coded map that highlights completed footage and what remains.
  5. Collaborate Seamlessly: Share updates effortlessly with your team using customizable visuals and hide/unhide functionality for specific utility types.
