20.06.2025 | 4 min read | Written by Elizabeth Chia

In today’s fast-paced construction and real estate industries, precision, efficiency, and clarity are more crucial than ever. To meet these demands, PlanRadar’s SiteView emerges as a groundbreaking smart site management solution that redefines how teams manage projects on-site. By offering a 360° visual and data-driven view of construction sites, SiteView empowers project stakeholders to monitor progress, resolve issues quickly, and streamline collaboration—without stepping foot on site.

What is SiteView?

SiteView is PlanRadar’s immersive visual documentation tool that integrates 360° photo capture technology with intuitive project tracking capabilities. SiteView allows teams to capture site progress via panoramic imagery, which is then anchored directly to digital plans within the PlanRadar platform.

This visual context significantly enhances transparency and decision-making, bridging the gap between the office and the construction site.

Why SiteView Is More Than Just a Viewer: A Full-Fledged Site Management Platform

PlanRadar’s SiteView goes beyond simple documentation—it’s a robust Site Management Platform. With its rich feature set, it becomes the digital hub for every stakeholder involved in the construction lifecycle.

Key Platform Capabilities:

  • Visual-Linked Task Management: Assign tasks directly on 360° views, ensuring that action items are tied to the exact on-site location.
  • Inspection and Compliance Tracking: Log inspections, checklists, and issue reports with photo evidence and spatial clarity.
  • Centralized Communication: Eliminate long email threads—discussions and updates happen in real-time within the context of each site issue.
  • Cross-Team Visibility: Architects, engineers, contractors, and investors gain shared access to the same visual and data environment, reducing errors and speeding up decisions.

This all-in-one platform ensures that site managers don’t just monitor—but actively manage—projects with precision and control.

The Core Benefits of a 360° Approach

  1. Remote Visibility and Reduced Site Visits

With SiteView, decision-makers can:

  • Virtually “walk through” the site using immersive 360° photos.
  • Navigate room by room via an interactive plan-based interface.
  • Get real-time updates aligned to blueprints and task logs.

This reduces the need for frequent physical site visits, saving time and resources—especially across geographically dispersed projects.

  1. Improved Project Transparency

SiteView offers a visual timeline of project development, making it easy to:

  • Validate completed work with photo evidence.
  • Track progress at key milestones.
  • Identify discrepancies between plans and site conditions.

This visual audit trail is essential for documentation, dispute resolution, and quality assurance.

  1. Enhanced Team Collaboration

SiteView integrates seamlessly with PlanRadar’s cloud-based ticketing system. Teams can:

  • Drop tickets directly onto 360° images.
  • Link issues, inspections, or notes to specific visual contexts.
  • Share updates instantly across devices and stakeholders.

This ensures every action is visible, traceable, and understood by all parties involved.

Site Reporting Made Simple: Submit Reports from the Field

A powerful benefit of SiteView’s integration into the PlanRadar ecosystem is the ability to generate and send reports directly from the mobile app.

Instant Reporting Features:

  • On-the-go Report Generation: Create detailed submission reports on your smartphone or tablet while walking the site.
  • Custom Templates: Use branded templates tailored to your project or client.
  • Real-Time Sharing: Instantly send reports to stakeholders with embedded images, comments, and ticket data—no need to return to the office.

This streamlined process drastically improves communication flow and ensures that stakeholders receive timely updates, even mid-project.

Use Cases Across the Project Lifecycle

  • Pre-construction: Document initial conditions and provide visual references for future reference.
  • Construction: Capture progress frequently to track timelines, monitor safety, and detect issues early.
  • Handover: Compile a full visual record of the completed work for client handover and maintenance teams.
  • Post-occupancy: Maintain a visual archive for maintenance planning and renovation support.
