Overall Satisfaction with PlanGrid

I have never needed to use support but I do know that Plangrid is always updating and improving to meet the demands of different companies.
We are using PlanGrid across the whole organization. It helps us to maintain drawings for multiple projects in multiple states but stills allows access for everyone involved in the project.
  • The organization of drawings and to be able to tag and find drawings with ease.
  • Multiple platform use. Whether on an iPad or a computer, they are both relatively the same use and instructions.
  • Being able to pull the history of a particular drawing or form is always helpful especially when changes are being made every day.
  • Being able to organize drawings after they have been uploaded needs some improvement. Currently if it is uploaded to a certain place and you need it in another folder it is difficult to get it there without deleting and then re-uploading.
  • Maybe I'm not doing it right, but when you back out and go to sheets it takes you back to the beginning instead of where you were searching for a drawing. If you were searching through 300 drawings you want to go back to that position not to the top.
  • I know that this program has improved the speed at which we are able to receive drawings.
  • This program has slowly brought us out of all paper drawings and into a digital program.
I'm not going to lie, I still use Bluebeam Revu on the computer. There is still a big gap on what they are able to do. But on the iPad I use PlanGrid and enjoy it better. Being able to move through drawings is way easier on PlanGrid
With construction drawings it is always well suited. The problem lays when the General Contractor is wanting to add all RFI's, even if not relevant to you, to their drawings. Or if they are using a different program for their drawings and they are keeping them up to date on their site but it is difficult to keep up to date with PlanGrid because they are not actually updating drawings.
