We use a bit of a mix but it sounds a lot like what you are describing.
Our fitters have iPads and iPhones. They get hardcopies of plans and will use
Procore when hosted by the GC to view our plans as well as Architectural,
Structural and other trades. We also have a server that can be remote accessed
with SonicWall for access to material sheets, forms and plans. Then, we use HH2
for timecards, daily logs and paystubs.
The real problem becomes trying to load large plans on slow WIFI or Cell
Service when in the field. Whatever you end up using, try to make file sizes
small by splitting up plans into separate sheets and taking out graphics on
forms.

Todd,
We want them to be able to mark up changes on plans ( they will still have a
paper copy of plans) but on projects that are congested and 1/8" scale we want
them to be able to zoom in for clarification. We also want to be able to load
all of our forms on there so they can do paper work straight from the tablets.
( parts and material forms, service call forms, supervisor work sheets, time
off request form ect.

Subject: Re: going paperless
Are the fitters using the iPads to just to mark ups or for actually doing the
install? I have been using Foxit on my iPad for surveys for 5+ years. It is far
from perfect but is not bad. I mark up the plan using an Apple Pencil. I load,
backup and store in Dropbox. From there I will copy into the job file on my
design PC.
Programs like Bluebeam are great for sharing and interacting with other project
partners, assuming they are using the same software. That is always worth
checking before making an investment.
