If you’re a tradie, you know how much of a headache it can be keeping everyone on-site up-to-date with the latest plans.
Carrying around paper plans, getting last-minute variations, trying to explain details over the phone—it’s a recipe for mistakes and a lot of wasted time.
A hidden gem in NextMinute is the ability to upload site plans and sketch on them right from the mobile app.
You can upload your construction plans, and the crew can pull them up on their phones whenever they need. No more confusion about which version is the right one or waiting for someone to bring the plans over.
Let’s look at why this feature makes life easier on the job:
1. Access Plans Anytime, Anywhere
Forget about lugging around a big roll of plans or running back to the office to check something. With NextMinute, everyone can get the latest plans on their phone, wherever they are.
Need to check measurements or double-check a detail? Just open the app, pick the job, and you’re looking at the PDF version of the plans right there. It’s literally like having the plans in your pocket.
2. Markups on the Go
One of the best parts? You can actually draw and make notes right on the plans. Whether it’s highlighting areas you want the apprentices to focus on or flagging something to double-check with the architect, the crew can make adjustments directly on their phones.
It’s like having a virtual whiteboard on-site. Just draw it in, and everyone can see exactly what you mean—no need for long explanations.
3. Real-Time Updates—No More “Old Version” Mix-Ups
Things change fast on a construction site, and if everyone’s working off different versions of the plan, it can be a nightmare. NextMinute lets you upload updated versions of the plans so everyone has the latest info right there.
No more running around to make sure everyone’s on the same page. Got an issue? Mark it up, re-upload it, and send a message to the crew via the app. Easy as.
Wrapping Up
NextMinute’s plan upload feature is a hidden gem for tradies who want to keep things running smoothly on-site. By bringing the latest plans and markups directly to everyone’s phones, you’re cutting out confusion, speeding up decisions, and making sure the job gets done right. In the construction game, where time is money, having everyone in sync is gold.
