About

SiteHelm is a browser-based toolkit for builders and construction teams that need to measure drawings and prepare everyday project paperwork. SiteHelm Free lets users measure lengths, areas and volumes from scaled PDF drawings, create floor plans from room dimensions with Easy CAD, mark up, sign and merge PDF drawings, and use construction calculators. The free tools run in a web browser without installation or a payment card. SiteHelm PRO is a separate Windows application in development, planned to add takeoff with pricing, quotes, invoices, job records and other site-office tools. It is aimed at builders and construction businesses managing work from the office and jobsite. PRO is not yet on sale; its planned license is priced annually per seat.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • As an old school QS/Estimator, who was brought up on using paper drawings and take-off sheets, this has been mind blowing. I have been using a free on line take-off system, that has no back up and will eventually be taken down, together with my own take -off and estimating Excel spreadsheets. I love the ability to screen shot my mark ups and add them to my take-offs for future reference. I have seen others using Bluebeam and I would consider Purple Hammer to be above and beyond this system. The ability to compare drawing revisions is a great feature. We all know the architects who like to push out drawing revisions and not actually cloud the revisions.

Cons

  • The only con at the moment is my own limits. I'm looking forward to Ari Isaacs showing me how to incorporate my own take-off sheets. Looking forward to being able to exploit it's features
