Posts from the PinMy team on visual collaboration, field workflows and product updates.
Connected field documentation: why the industry wants site plans to stop being static files — and how anchoring observations to the plan makes site notes traceable.
Honest construction software: a plain list of what PinMy is not — not a CDE, not BIM coordination, not a PM suite — and why being clear about the edges earns trust.
Building in public: why we shipped a 3D viewer before we were sure of demand — a story about demand-driven development and shipping a real but modest version to learn.
Guest collaboration for construction: share a plan and let a client or visitor join with just a name — no account, no install — and pin feedback right where they mean it.
Pins on a 3D model from your phone: upload an IFC, open a lightweight 3D viewer on mobile, and drop located pins with photo and voice — a dated snapshot, not BIM coordination.
A construction Kanban board that fills itself: assign a pin on the plan and it lands on the board automatically, so your snag list is the live state of the work, not a chore.
Voice note transcription for construction: speak a note on the plan and PinMy auto-transcribes it across 20+ languages, so it's searchable and readable by a mixed crew.
A fair comparison of construction documentation methods — paper, Excel, WhatsApp and PinMy — across location, search, ownership and status, so you can choose honestly.
Looking for a PlanRadar alternative? An honest guide to when a heavier platform is right and when a simple construction app is the better first step up from paper.
PinMy vs WhatsApp for site coordination: what a chat does well, where it quietly fails on site, and what changes when decisions live on the plan instead of the thread.
How to draw on a construction plan to flag a defect freehand: circle the crack, trace the misaligned run, then pair the markup with a voice note so nothing is ambiguous.
How to mark an area on a construction plan, not just a point: use the area pin to drag a rectangle over a whole zone so a note covers the run, bay or room it concerns.
Construction email problems hide in plain sight: decisions buried in threads, no location, no owner. Here's the real cost — and what a site coordination app fixes.
If you're rebuilding the daily site report at 9pm from memory, the capture failed during the day. Here's how a site report assembles itself from pins instead.
Site photo documentation falls apart when a photo only knows when it was taken. Here's why context-less photos cost you, and how pinning them to the plan fixes it.
