For road and highway contractors

Road and highway contractor software: every open item pinned to the station where it lives.

A 5-mile roadway project generates hundreds of field questions, scope changes, and coordination issues. Tracking them in a spreadsheet means losing the one thing that matters most: where the problem is. HeavyCivilHelper puts every RFI, directive, and submittal on a live GPS corridor map.

What you track on the corridor map

• RFIs pinned to the station where the conflict exists — Field questions tied to a station or structure, not a log number. The engineer and inspector see the location, the condition, and the attached photos — not just a numbered list.
• Directives logged at the location where scope changed — When the inspector tells you to adjust the grade at Station 48, log the directive at Station 48 with a timestamp and photo. The change order basis is documented before you leave the location.
• Lane closures as polyline overlays on the corridor — Draw lane closures on the satellite map. Start station, end station, lanes affected, TCP reference, and active status — visible alongside the RFIs and directives for the same zone.
• Plan sheets overlaid on the live GPS map — Attach design drawings to the corridor at true coordinates. The field engineer reads station callouts in geographic context instead of hunting through a plan set.
• Multi-agency access on one map — GC, subs, DOT inspector, and the owner's rep all see the same live project. No version of the truth distributed across email threads.

Frequently asked questions

What software do road and highway contractors use for field coordination?

Most road contractors coordinate field issues through spreadsheets, email chains, and text messages. HeavyCivilHelper is purpose-built for the heavy civil field coordination layer — tracking RFIs, directives, and submittals by GPS station on a live corridor map.

How does HeavyCivilHelper handle linear corridor projects like roads?

Each RFI, directive, submittal, or field issue is dropped as a GPS pin at the station where it applies. A 5-mile corridor shows every open item distributed along the alignment — the superintendent sees which segments have open RFIs, which zones have pending directives, and where risk is concentrated.

Can I track lane closures in HeavyCivilHelper?

Yes. Lane closures are logged as polyline overlays drawn directly on the corridor map — start station, end station, lanes affected, TCP number, and status. The field team and inspector see active closures in geographic context alongside the RFIs and directives for the same zone.

How does multi-agency access work on DOT projects?

The GC, subs, agency inspectors, and the owner's representative can all access the same project map simultaneously. Each sees the same real-time field records. The inspector verifies conditions at the station without waiting for the GC's end-of-day report.
