Frequently asked questions
What is HeavyJob Docs & Plans?
HeavyJob Docs & Plans is a unified digital document and plan management system designed specifically for the heavy civil construction industry. It serves as a centralized location where field and office teams can access, manage, and annotate project blueprints, specifications, and critical documents in real time. Docs and Plans eliminates the fragmentation of using multiple apps by combining high-performance plan viewing with robust document storage, all within the HeavyJob ecosystem.
Why did HCSS Plans transition to HeavyJob Docs & Plans?
The transition from HCSS Plans to HeavyJob Docs & Plans was a strategic evolution to create a more integrated field-to-office ecosystem. HCSS is building document management capabilities to improve the tracking and distribution of documents across the HCSS platform. This evolution provides contractors with a more powerful, unified platform that simplifies administrative workflows and provides a single, comprehensive history for every project.
How does HeavyJob Docs & Plans ensure teams are always working from the latest plan revisions?
HeavyJob Docs & Plans eliminates the risk of building off outdated blueprints through automated version control and real-time syncing. When a new revision is uploaded in the office, the software automatically “slip-sheets” the update, watermarking the old drawing as “Superseded” and pushing the current version to every mobile device in the field instantly. This ensures that whether a foreman is looking at a utility profile or a bridge cross-section, they are seeing the exact same design intent as the project engineer and preventing costly rework.
How does Docs & Plans integrate with the broader HCSS platform?
HeavyJob Docs and Plans is deeply integrated across the entire HCSS Platform. It creates a continuous loop of project intelligence. Specifically, Docs and Plans is a core add-on to HeavyJob, giving users the ability to manage punchlists in Plan Sheets and HeavyJob and manage documents across the Platform.
What are the different user options for HeavyJob Docs & Plans?
HeavyJob Docs & Plans is designed for use in the office and the field, with both web and mobile applications.
In the office, project managers, estimators, and executives can use Docs & Plans on the web to upload drawings, plans, and other project documents. They can do quick takeoffs, make annotations, link to callouts, add notes and photos, and mark revisions and versions. They can then share those documents with the field and with job owners to ensure that everyone has the most up-to-date information.
How many Docs & Plans licenses should I buy?
The number of Docs & Plans licenses you need depends on your company size and the number of users. Your license mix is customizable to suit your needs in the office and on the job site.
HCSS suggests that each person who will access Docs & Plans — project managers, superintendents, estimators, executives, and crew leads — should have their own license to log into the website or mobile app.
Docs & Plans licenses are individually named per user, so the license belongs to the individual and can travel from device to device.
What does my IT department need to know about Docs & Plans?
Docs and Plans is a web and mobile application; your IT department does not need to host the software on a network or server. All of your data is stored in the Cloud and can be accessed anywhere you have an internet connection. You can also access uploaded documents in disconnected mode.
