Turn field observations into better project decisions
SiteMarker connects the field and the office by tying observations, photos, documents, and decisions to the places where they happen.
Capture site conditions as you encounter them, connect them to AutoCAD linework and construction plans, turn them into reports, and keep everyone working from the same location-based record.
Trusted by civil engineering teams who work where data meets design
How it Works
Eliminate the disconnect between site visit and project record
Using traditional workflows, field information captured on a phone must be organized within project deliverables scattered across a desktop and connected back to the site later—if ever. SiteMarker keeps the location with the information from the start.
Overlay drawings with observations tied to specific locations. Whether you’re on site or working from data collected across multiple sites, everything stays spatially referenced – no GPS guesswork, no matching photos to locations later.
Drop a pin, add a photo, write a note. Each data point stays tied to a precise location, creating a consistent, ready-to-use record for all project stakeholders.
Incorporate site observations into formatted, georeferenced documents and design files in seconds. Select the data you need, generate, and send—no desk time, no Word templates, and no scrambling to recreate the site record.
Assign issues the moment they're found. Track progress as they’re resolved. No lost texts, no missed emails, no question about who was supposed to handle what.

Turn connected data into real project value
By connecting project documentation to relevant locations, civil engineering firms gain a depth of context that’s never been realized. This unlocks the ability to make faster, more informed decisions and deliver greater value to project stakeholders.
Save Time with Streamlined Workflows
SiteMarker turns field data directly into project deliverables. Export information about existing conditions, utility conflicts, and site constraints straight to AutoCAD. Generate instant reports with georeferenced photos and records.
Everything collected in the field feeds straight into your workflow, so you spend less time tracking down data and more time moving projects toward completion.
Improve Communication Across the Team
Gives civil engineering teams and project partners access to the same location-based information about site conditions and project progress. Capture issues where they happen, assign tasks to field or office teams, and document decisions and actions throughout the life of the project.
With a complete history of project conditions and decisions at your fingertips, accountability becomes clear.
Reduce Risk to Keep Projects on Track
SiteMarker helps civil engineering teams catch discrepancies early and reduce risk of costly rework down the road. With a clear, location-based record of site conditions, observations, and decisions, engineers can more confidently confirm that construction aligns with the design.
Turn Efficiency into New Value
By reducing the time spent navigating paperwork, SiteMarker gives civil engineering firms the capacity to offer new services to their partners. For example, firms are using SiteMarker to add SWPPP inspections as a billable service – using the same field visits and observations performed for core tasks to conduct stormwater inspections.

Every tool you need from first site visit to the final report, and anything that follows.
Dive Deeper into Product FeaturesPrecise Geolocation
Drop pins at your location while on-site. Pair SiteMarker with a GPS receiver and gain sub-centimeter precision. Capture location data for tree inventories, underground strike avoidance programs, and more.
Map Layer Overlays
Upload PDF, DXF, KML, and KMZ files, drone-generated GeoTIFFs, and georeferenced aerial imagery as map layers. Align construction documents with real-world coordinates so pins land where they should and deliver unparalleled context.
Custom Pin Tags & Categories
Organize observations with custom categories and tags. Filter by deficiency type, phase, or trade to keep field data structured and actionable.
One-Tap Report Generation
Select pins from any project map and generate formatted, client-ready reports in seconds, complete with photos, notes, location data, and timestamps. Reports remain actionable by creating a living record that supports accountability.
Simplify Stakeholder Sharing
Share project maps and reports with anyone, no login required for viewers. Keep clients, contractors, and regulatory agencies in the loop.
Secure File Storage
Map layers, pins, photos, and reports are all backed up with multi-layer secured storage. Maintain a defensible record for every project.
Questions? We’ve got answers.
Here are some of the questions civil engineering firms ask us most often.
How is SiteMarker different from other tools used to manage field documentation?+
Traditional field documentation systems have proven cumbersome. Most of the solutions introduced to address this issue focus on simplifying workflows rather than building a clear connection between field-captured data and project documentation. Even when location data is featured as a component of form- or document-based systems, data and action items become static reports or are restricted to a single workflow. There’s little room for all project stakeholders to interact with the data as project conditions change and issues are addressed. Instead, yet another new report is issued to alert stakeholders to the update.
SiteMarker works differently: every observation is pinned directly to a map and provides context to the drawing or plan through map layers. An incredibly robust pin object record allows users to better align location data to construction documentation and track progress on any recorded issue. Users can move beyond a list view of issues to interact with site needs and documentation. SiteMarker not only simplifies site documentation but maintains a location-based record of change as your site is transformed.
Can SiteMarker overlay CAD and GIS plans in the field?+
Yes. Upload PDFs, DXFs, KML & KMZ files, GeoTiff drone maps and georeferenced aerial images as map underlays. Walk the site with your construction documents loaded and document observations against them in real time, so every pin lands exactly where it should.
How does SiteMarker help reduce construction rework?+
SiteMarker ties every field observation to a precise GPS location. Issues are documented once, correctly, and visible to the right people immediately, cutting the miscommunications that send teams back to the same site over and over.
If a contractor disputes a finding or a client questions a site condition, what documentation do I have to back it up?+
Every pin in SiteMarker is GPS-located, timestamped, and tied to the individual who created it. Photos, notes, observations, and assigned actions are all structured and georeferenced, not scattered through months of reports. When a dispute comes up, you're not reconstructing what you think you saw. You have a verifiable, time-stamped field record that shows exactly what was found, when, and where.
