Site visits: measure, photograph and mark up on the spot

Booking the visit

From a lead, schedule a site visit and it goes on the calendar with a pin on the map. The customer gets the time, and the visit shows up on the estimator's day.

Photos, sorted as you go

Take photos straight into the visit. Group them into projects, say "primary closet" and "guest closet", so the estimate later has one section per project with the right pictures. Tap and hold to select several at once.

Draw the dimensions on the photo

Tap a photo to mark it up: draw a line, type the measurement, add a note. The marks stay on the photo, so whoever writes the estimate sees exactly what was measured and where.

No signal, no problem

Photos save on the device the instant you take them and upload in the background when the signal returns. A basement with no bars won't cost you a visit.

Recordings become notes

If you record your walkthroughs with a Plaud recorder, Hewer transcribes the recording and summarizes it into job notes, including the family details people mention, like a new baby or a dog that shouldn't get out. Names, numbers and addresses are swapped for placeholders before the summary is written.

Straight into the estimate

When the visit is done, start the estimate from it. Each project becomes a section with its photos attached, and the "past jobs like this" card shows what similar jobs sold for. See Leads and estimates.

Calculators in the same pocket

Stair layouts, wainscot spacing, accent walls and more are in the Hewer Trade Toolkit, free, and inside the crew app for your team. Try Hewer on your next walkthrough: start a trial.
