We all experienced it: in the myriad of things to prepare for a job site, the preliminary field visit(s). Alone or with our colleague from the design office, here we go by car 🚙 to take notes, photos of the field, meet the local residents, in short understand the environment.
🤯 But I have to stop to write, I take heavy videos; when I get home the anxiety of transferring to the computer starts, I have to integrate these photos into a (long) technical brief, I don't know anymore exactly on a large linear where the points were, and I feel that my site supervisor is going to - like me - waste time finding the job site in the pampas. Arg!
On this phase, Kraaft is a great collaborative notebook!
✔️ I recontextualize my photos at the office
✔️ My supervisor later on will be able to navigate directly to the photo via his GPS!
✔️ My surveyor will know the precise location of certain key points
✔️ Precious time saved, no more tedious phone x computer synchronization!
✔️ As I don't have to write, I don't lose the rhythm of my visit
✔️ I can easily get back into the visit
✔️ I accumulate factual visuals of the situation if the bailiff doesn't show up (it happens!).
✔️ I very easily integrate the photos in the right format in my Word technical brief
✔️ I keep my data streams organized.
Lilian, Supervisor in water systems - "Kraaft is really great for job site visits, before I used to plug my laptop into my computer to extract photos and prepare my job site. Now I can do everything as I go, location points, and then share the info with my boss when the work phase starts."
