We like speed at BaseStone. In fact, we realised that we are developing features so fast that we need a monthly blog post dedicated to the BaseStone product. Welcome to Constructing BaseStone – read on to find out about all of the updates from the past month.

BaseStone is built around the needs of construction professionals, so all of our features originate from insights provided by our users and industry partners. If you have any feedback or requests, feel free to get in touch at support@basestone.io.

Labels and Label Filters 

Labels allow you to organise your files and drawings in your own way. You can use them to flag a drawing for review, or to group drawings by specialism. They give you the flexibility to seamlessly integrate BaseStone into your workflow.

Activity Feed

With all of the different activities going on throughout a construction project, it’s easy to lose track of what’s been done. The Activity Feed is BaseStone’s answer to this problem. Any changes made on a project, by any member of the project team will be logged on the Activity Feed.

Fullscreen Web Viewer

An exciting new feature is the ability to markup drawings in a fullscreen viewer on the BaseStone web platform. Along with our powerful markup tools, you can now review drawings within a beautifully designed full screen interface. Try it out for yourself!

Issues

With so many different parties collaborating on a project, it can be difficult to keep track of issues that need to be addressed. With BaseStone, you can see all of the issues associated with a project at the click of a button. This seemingly small feature makes a huge difference to your understanding of the overall progress of your project. You can also filter by priority and status, giving you the ability to see (and correct) the most urgent issues.

Reporting

Reporting is an important part of the review process. We aim to reduce the time and effort required to produce reports (because you’re busy and have better ways to spend your time) whilst providing a powerful audit trail. All of the data used to produce the report is derived from our system, providing accuracy and assurance.

You can generate reports at the click of a button on the website and in the new version of our app (2.2).

We hope you enjoy the new features!
