Plan management by app – all your plans always at hand
Approve plan revisions, trace versions, pin tickets directly in the plan
upmesh plan management is software for digital plan administration in construction. You upload PDF plans on the web or via the app, release new versions through an approval process and so make sure that everyone on the project only works with the current plan revision. Every version is archived with a timestamp, so changes and approvals can be proven at any time.
That puts an end to version chaos from email attachments and download folders – and misunderstandings are avoided before they arise.
Always the current construction plan
Manage your digital plans on mobile too. The approval process ensures that only checked plan revisions are in circulation.
Plan management from anywhere
Whether on mobile or in the office: everyone on the project has access to the plans they need – even without an internet connection.
Plans securely documented
Even with multiple plan versions, changes can be traced precisely.
Upload, approve and retrieve plans
Upload PDF plans on the web or via the app for iOS and Android; the approval process handles multi-page PDFs too. You upload new versions in plan management – existing tickets are transferred automatically along with all their photos, comments and files.
Whether you're opening a plan, searching for a ticket or pulling up project details: you get to the information you need in three clicks.
QR code on the printout: valid or outdated?
With the built-in QR code function, a scan of a printed plan tells you instantly whether that plan revision is still valid. This works even without the upmesh app installed.
Automatic versioning documents every change without gaps. All plan revisions, changes and approvals are archived with a timestamp and can be proven at any time – if discussions come up later, you can demonstrate every step of the change.
The plan as a communication medium
With one click, add tickets for tasks, notes or open questions directly in the plan and complete them with responsibilities, photos and files. Thanks to offline availability, plans, tickets and documents can be viewed and edited even with a poor connection; syncing runs automatically as soon as you're back on the network.
At the end of the project, you export all project data including plans as a ZIP file – the basis for complete construction documentation and archiving.
Pin tickets on street maps
If you need street maps in addition to PDF plans, you can use map sections to place tickets in the Enterprise version. The exact position is stored in the ticket along with its coordinates.
Navigation guides suppliers and subcontractors straight to the construction site or the specific position – one click on the address starts it. On linear sites and projects with several locations, that does away with follow-up questions and directions.
From the plan straight to a defect, task or change order
All modules are interlinked: you start in the plan and keep working from there. You create defects on the digital plan and document them with photos and comments; you create tasks from a plan marker with one click and assign them to the people responsible.
A new plan revision often comes with change orders. You move plan changes seamlessly into change-order management so you can claim additional work in time.
“upmesh plan management, including pinning items to plans, makes our day-to-day work enormously easier. We manage a great many projects, so it helps to give the colleagues responsible access to the project and information on the current project status with a single click. Assigning a due date to every ticket has also proven extremely useful.”
Bernd Rudde, Head of Network Planning and Asset Management
Frequently asked questions
What is plan management?
Plan management is the systematic administration and coordination of all construction plans and drawings throughout the entire project. It includes uploading new plans, version control, approval processes and communicating plan changes to everyone involved. Plan management software like upmesh makes these processes available on mobile and documents every change traceably.
Why is plan management important in construction?
Proper plan management prevents costly errors caused by outdated plans and creates transparency about the current status. It reduces liability risks and ensures that everyone involved is working from the same level of knowledge – especially on projects with many trades, central plan management is crucial.
What are the benefits of digital plan management?
Digital plan management ends version chaos, makes plans available on mobile and documents all changes traceably. Specifically in upmesh: a QR code on the printout shows instantly whether a plan is still current; when a plan is replaced, all markers and comments are kept; plans are available on smartphone and tablet, even without internet; all plan versions are archived with a timestamp; plan changes are communicated to everyone involved automatically; seamless transition to task, defect and change-order management.
Does plan management work offline too?
Yes, plans, tickets and documents can be viewed and edited without an internet connection. As soon as a connection is available again, upmesh syncs automatically.
What happens to existing tickets when there's a new plan version?
They're transferred to the new version automatically – with all attached photos, comments and files. You don't have to move anything manually.
