Pilot direction: start with one workspace and expand later.
ObraPad is designed to keep Obra Core as the shared foundation while you add capabilities over time.
Building-specific activation and restricted installer access are being prepared for the pilot and verified end to end. Ask which scopes can currently be tested.
Intended starting point
The pilot direction is to begin with one workspace and add more later.
Planned per-building expansion
The planned flow activates Construction only for the building being renovated; other buildings stay unchanged.
Planned access model
The access model is being developed so an installer or partner can use only the selected building, installation or task.
Intended example: heat pump maintenance
In the intended scenario, the installer only accesses the heat pump, its documents and assigned maintenance tasks in one building. Other buildings, financial information and private documents remain outside the scope. View, change, duration and revocation controls must be proven server-side before availability.
The design keeps an additional workspace and partner access as separate choices, with the building passport as the shared foundation.
Recognise your situation
When do you use this?
01Architect conducts a site round
Today: The report work only starts after the visit.
Your workflow: Dictate comments, link photos and check the AI draft actions.
The result: A planned path from field information to a report and targeted follow-up.
02Contractor looks for the spotlight position
Today: Which dimension, wall and plan revision does the architect mean?
Your workflow: Open the room and spotlight ID. View source dimensions and explore AR guidance on the roadmap.
The result: Understand the intended position without silently changing the design.
03International construction team
Today: The same point is repeatedly forwarded in a different language.
Your workflow: Architect, contractor and client use their preferred language for the same task.
The result: Original, translation, photo and reply stay together.
Less explaining. Less retyping.
This is how your team
really works together.
Everyone’s own language. The same agreement.
The architect writes in Dutch. The contractor reads in Spanish. The reply and original stay with the same task.
Depends on configurationWalk through. Speak. Prepare the report.
Photos and spoken observations become a draft report with action points, roles and deadlines.
Planned AI enhancementSee where that spotlight belongs on the plan.
From the correct plan revision to 2D, 3D and AR guidance in the room. With dimensions and verification.
AR Set-out · plannedWhat you do here in practice
From daily tasks
to clear follow-up.
01Site tracking & tasksKnow what needs to be done, where and by whom.
You: Record a site comment with a photo, room, responsible person, priority and deadline.
ObraPad helps: Follow-up and reminders can use the configured tasks and deadlines.
Your benefitFewer separate lists and fewer questions about who is taking the point.
02Site meetings in everyone’s own languageEveryone understands the same work, without a separate conversation for each language.Depending on your configuration
Configuration- or add-on-dependent
You: The architect writes in Dutch; the contractor reads, for example, in Spanish and replies in their own language on the same task, photo or drawing.
ObraPad helps: Translation keeps the original, source version, numbers, units and object references recognizable. Available languages and features depend on the configuration.
Your benefitLess copying into translation apps and less repeated explanation; technical or unclear translations remain verifiable.
032D plans & revisionsMake clear which drawing and version are intended.
You: Link a plan and revision to the room, comment or decision.
ObraPad helps: Source and revision context remains identifiable; advanced plan analysis follows its own product status.
Your benefitLess confusion about the drawing on which an agreement is based.
043D / BIM & spatial commentsSee where a task or problem is located.Planned extension
Planned extension / roadmap
You: The roadmap scenario lets you select a room or object and link a comment, photo or task to it.
ObraPad helps: Return from the task to the same 3D location and vice versa, when supported.
Your benefitLess explanation of the location; using Construction is not mandatory.
05View spotlights & connection points with ARSee where the contractor should work according to the approved plan.Planned extension
Planned extension / roadmap
You: Open the lighting plan via the room or QR. View the spotlight ID, reference walls and dimensions in 2D/3D; the AR development adds an on-site projection.
ObraPad helps: The planned AR Set-out feature links the position to the valid plan revision. Alignment, reference dimension and uncertainty remain visible; a new plan requires reinspection.
Your benefitLess searching and explaining about the intended location. AR does not replace measurement verification and does not change the approved design.
06QR codes on siteOpen the correct project component on site.
You: Use a linked QR code for a room, zone or installation.
ObraPad helps: The linked record opens within the user’s permissions.
Your benefitLess time lost to manual searching while you are on site.
07Dictation + photos → site report & actionsWalk around instead of retyping everything afterwards.Planned extension
Planned extension / roadmap
You: Choose the project and room, dictate your observations and link photos. Check the transcript and which photo belongs to each comment.
ObraPad helps: The planned AI flow creates a draft report with observations, action points, proposed project roles and deadlines. After authorised confirmation, the assignment flow can assign actions.
Your benefitLess report writing, less photo sorting and fewer separate steps to start follow-up.
08Quotes, budgets & change ordersSee what was agreed and what is changing.
You: Link quotes, budget items and change requests to the project.
ObraPad helps: Overviews use linked amounts; automated bills of quantities are a separate roadmap feature.
Your benefitLess spreadsheet work and better visibility of additional costs still to be assessed.
09Handover items & building passportMake the handover part of your project.
You: Track outstanding items and collect plans, evidence, manuals and warranties.
ObraPad helps: Relevant project information remains linked to the building for the next phase.
Your benefitLess last-minute searching at handover and less lost project knowledge.
10Quality inspections & punch listsA site item does not disappear once the report is finished.
You: Record an inspection point, any deviation, responsible person and repair evidence. Refer inspection execution to the linked Inspection workspace.
ObraPad helps: The inspection point, task and evidence remain linked; the authorised person assesses the repair.
Your benefitFewer separate lists and a clearer view of open handover items.
11Your own site procedures & working on the moveUse a consistent approach, even when the site connection is poor.Planned extension
Planned extension / roadmap
You: The roadmap provides for custom site checklists and version-linked procedures, plus mobile recording with explicit synchronisation status.
ObraPad helps: A shared template and offline core should prevent a note from being processed twice or an old version from changing silently.
Your benefitLess repeated work during rounds. This is not confirmation of working offline or builder functionality.
Convenience through automation
Less routine work.
With the right control.
According to your rules
Recurring follow-up
Use existing project roles and follow-up rules for confirmed tasks. A routine does not need to be configured again each time.
With AI support
No need to start again
Have a confirmed transcript and linked photos turned into a draft report with action points; this AI development is on the roadmap.
For decisions
You stay in control
Check unclear assignments, deadlines and proposed allocations. Design changes and technical approval remain separate decisions.
You define your workflow and boundaries. Routine can follow those rules; AI helps with preparation; exceptions remain visible. The capabilities you use depend on the available features and your plan.
Without a connected workflow
After a site round: sort photos, type comments, translate messages and separately explain to contractors where the problem is.
With this workspace
Comments and photos for the same room; a verifiable draft report and action list; the contractor reads the task in their own language and opens the source plans. Voice and AR enhancements are planned.
How much time could this save you?Your own figures, not a marketing percentage
Make one recurring task measurable.
Formula: number of tasks × (minutes now − minutes after the change) ÷ 60.
Open a calculation example
20 tasks × (15 − 10 minutes) = 100 minutes, or 1 hour and 40 minutes per month.
This is fictitious input, not a predicted product saving. Include checks and any additional actions. A negative result means additional time.
The editable calculation is available when this presentation is opened with JavaScript. Time freed up does not automatically represent a realised cost saving.
What information do we share with other workspaces?
Project · building · document revisions · handover evidence. You continue with the same property context; you do not create a second record.
What can I extend here with add-ons?
For example, spoken Copilot control or having data proposed from project documents.
An add-on already included in your plan is not offered again. The exact features, limits and any additional price are shown with your configuration.
Workspaces and add-ons explained →Practical questions
Good to know.
Is this only a document folder for the construction site?
No. The explanation connects site items, communication, planning, revisions, QR, cost context and handover. Documents belong with the work instead of forming a separate archive.
Are 3D, AI plan checking and custom procedures already available as standard?
These advanced capabilities are marked here as planned or configuration-dependent. A roadmap example is not evidence of production availability or package coverage.
Can AI immediately assign a task to the electrician?
The design lets AI propose the role based on the project configuration. The current source description requires confirmation before the assignment flow is used. More automated assignment can be developed through explicitly approved project rules, but is not a proven live feature here.
Does the AR view provide the exact drilling position?
The exact design dimension comes from the valid, approved plan revision. The AR overlay is guidance after alignment. Actual accuracy requires device and measurement checks; this browser demo does not authorise drilling or execution.
