Access, capture and share information wherever you are

Information in your hands

Not having access to the right information at the right time on a construction project can cause big delays and mistakes.

BaseStone is the one place to access project documents and drawings wherever you are. Even when you’re out on site with no internet access. Back at the office, you’ll have information at your fingertips through the web platform.

Our fast viewer lets you view and markup PDF drawings effortlessly and revision control helps to make sure you are always working from the latest version.

"BaseStone is a fantastic tool to manage configuration of documents for coordination and construction on large Railway systems infrastructure projects. It supports quick communication and speeds up the access to information"

Guilhem Duval, Engineering Manager
Alstom (Crossrail ATC Systemwide project)

"We conducted a trial with BaseStone for Crossrail’s innovation programme, Innovate18, to develop a system which enables us to efficiently pull drawings from the clients system for digital redlining and snagging. The trial delivered a tangible 60% saving when using this technology in the field. This has now led to further developments, which has enabled us to agree a licence agreement. The relationship has allowed a great deal of flexibility and this has helped us to drive digital capture of construction information, which we believe will drive a more efficient asset handover"

Ben Feltham, Head of BIM and Digital Engineering
Skanska UK Infrastructure

“It makes my work much more efficient”

Ruth Fuller, Senior Engineer

"I can’t go back to the ‘old days’ without it. It saves me so much time in my day to day duties as it is super flexible in its applications and the support from the BaseStone team is second to none"

Geoff Young, Electrical Engineer
Skanska (Creechurch Place project)

Communicate faster,
with no more waiting around

Good communication keeps the project moving forward. On BaseStone you can communicate by directly commenting on issues, keeping all information in one place and preventing information being lost in long email chains.

Assign issues as tasks so that the team knows what they need to work on. Everyone stays in the loop with in-app notifications and emails straight to their inbox.

Less admin, more engineering

After capturing information from the field, you often have to create reports which involves manual and repetitive tasks such as printing, scanning, downloading photos and re-marking up drawings. Let BaseStone take that admin burden off your shoulders.

BaseStone automatically generates reports. Comment schedules, as-built redlines, site surveys and snag reports are created at the click of a button. You can get back to engineering and leave the admin behind.
