ArcSite for Inspections
ArcSite gives you a complete inspection record from a single drawing session โ a scaled site map, a photo log, and an Excel takeoff, all without extra data entry back at the office.

How It Works
An inspection in ArcSite follows a standard workflow: import your PDF, draw what's on site, tag items with products or shapes, add measurements and photos, collect form data, then export. Each step below links to a dedicated article or video if you need more detail.
Open your existing PDF and scale it by defining one known distance.
Draw the site using the Draw tool, Shapes, and Layers.
Add Shapes to mark the location and type of items found on site.
Add measurements โ one at a time or in bulk.
Add marked-up site photos to document conditions at each location.
Mark up with Text or the Cloud tool to call out notes or problem areas.
Use Forms to capture overall site information.
Export your work โ upload to your ArcSite cloud account or export directly from the app as a PDF, image, or Excel takeoff.
Common Scenarios
Roofing inspection โ Import the building's roof plan PDF, draw the roof sections, and use Shapes to mark damage locations. Add photos of each defect with markups, then export an Excel takeoff with object counts and a PDF summary for the client.
Electrical inspection โ Scale a floor plan, then use Shapes to place and label each panel, outlet, or fixture found on site. Use Forms to log site-level data (age of system, load capacity), then share the drawing and form data with the office before you leave the job.
HVAC inspection โ Draw equipment locations across multiple floors using Layers to keep each floor separate. Bulk-add measurements for duct runs, attach photos of units, and export the full package to your ArcSite cloud account for the next person on the job.
