FreeBeam

Measure and mark up construction drawings, on site, on your phone.

FreeBeam opens a PDF drawing, puts it on a scale, and lets you take real measurements off it with your finger. A magnifier finds endpoints, intersections and perpendiculars so a point lands where you meant it, not where your fingertip covered.

• Linear, continuous and area measurement at the sheet's own scale
• Markup - lines, arrows, shapes, clouds, text and freehand
• Overlay two drawings to compare a shop drawing against an as-built
• Takeoff counts, tallied by item type
• Bearings and distances, coordinates and numbered survey points
• Export back to PDF with your markup, keeping the drawing's own vectors

Everything happens on your device. Nothing is uploaded, and the app needs no signal to do its job - which matters, because site huts rarely have any.
