Latest Update
What's new in HeavyCivilHelper v1.6.4
Capture field evidence. Share the location. Turn it into action.
HeavyCivilHelper v1.6.4 connects field photos, mapped records, location handoffs, and project data transfers—so the information collected on site can be found and used by the people who need it.
Project transfers and practical exports
Export and import .hch packages to move project data between HCH projects or accounts. Download selected project data and files as a ZIP archive for backup or handoff, or export map layers as KML for Google Earth and GIS workflows. .hch is the native project-import format; ZIP and KML serve different export needs.
Send someone to the right spot
Share a pin's name and coordinates for an asset pickup, a field visit, or a quick check on an issue. Recipients can use the location in their maps app without being given access to your HCH project, records, or files.
Timestamp capture across Lens, Field, and the website
Capture timestamp photos with the native HCH Lens and HCH Field apps and upload them to your HCH project. On the website, take a photo on a supported device or upload an image, then use the timestamp workflow to document its location with map or blueprint context. Field evidence can be collected where the work happens and reviewed in the web workspace.
Photo evidence that belongs on the map
Attachments now work as a record type, with location-tagged photos visible on the project map. Find evidence by where it was captured and open the associated attachment without searching through folders.
From an attachment to a tracked field item
Create an RFI or Directive from an Attachment when a finding needs formal follow-up. For category-based tracking, link the attachment photo to an existing custom pin for inspection items, hold points, findings, damaged areas, or other team-defined categories. The original attachment remains available on the map.
The core concept
HeavyCivilHelper is built around one organizing principle: the map is the home screen. Every job, lead, or field issue belongs to an address. When work lives on a map instead of a list, you can see adjacency, density, and status at a glance, things a spreadsheet can never show.
The platform connects the full workflow: from dropping a lead pin and assigning a territory, through routing and mileage logging, to managing active jobs with RFIs, directives, plan overlays, and AI risk reports, all in one tool, without switching systems.
Track project variables on the map
Jobs, leads, field issues, crew, and documentation are all tied to real locations.
Built for phones, designed for the field
One-tap status updates, offline-friendly, full-screen map on mobile.
From first contact to final invoice
Lead → estimate → approved → job → complete: one system, one map.
Simple, transparent pricing
Plans for solo operators and full crews alike. Start free and scale when you're ready.
What HeavyCivilHelper does
Six core capabilities, all organized around the map.
Map-based jobs, bids, and estimates
Every job, lead, and field issue is a pin on the map. Status, stage, crew, notes, and documents attach to the pin, not to a row in a spreadsheet.
Sales territory management
Assign geographic territories to reps, visualize pipeline density across a city or region, and identify cold zones, all on the same map your field crew uses.
Route planning and mileage logging
Build daily drive routes from open leads and jobs on the map, optimize stop order, and automatically log mileage for IRS-ready 1099 records.
RFIs, directives, and submittals
Pin construction documentation (requests for information, field directives, material submittals, and change orders) to the exact station or location where each issue occurred.
Plan overlay and field coordination
Upload PDF plan sheets and overlay them on the live map at real-world coordinates. Field crews see plans and pins side by side on their phones.
AI risk reports and project summaries
One-click AI-generated reports summarize open items, cost exposure, schedule risk, and field issue status, formatted for owner and PM presentations.
Map-based project tracking means the primary view is always a live map of where work is happening, not a list of rows to scroll through.
Field coordination means every RFI, directive, submittal, and change order is tied to the exact physical location where the issue occurred, accessible from any phone on-site.
Who uses HeavyCivilHelper
Any person or team whose work happens at physical addresses and needs to see all of it on a map at once.
How HeavyCivilHelper compares
HeavyCivilHelper is not a general-purpose CRM, a scheduling tool, or a document management system. It is purpose-built for geographically organized work.

Common questions about HeavyCivilHelper
Answers to the most common questions about the product, the company, and how it's used.
- What is HeavyCivilHelper?
- HeavyCivilHelper is map-based construction tracking and field coordination software. It helps civil infrastructure teams, building trades, and pre-award estimating teams manage jobs, bids, and field issues by pinning them to real-world locations on an interactive map, replacing spreadsheets, scattered notes, and disconnected tools with a geographic view of active work.
- Is HeavyCivilHelper a CRM, a project management tool, or a field coordination platform?
- It supports three construction workflows. Bids & Estimates organizes pre-award opportunities and follow-up by location. Building & Trades supports active residential, commercial, specialty, and minor construction jobs. Civil & Infrastructure supports public works and private civil office-to-field coordination, including RFIs, directives, submittals, and change orders. Every record is tied to a physical location on the map.
- Who is HeavyCivilHelper built for?
- HeavyCivilHelper is built for heavy civil contractors (roads, utilities, public works), building and specialty-trade crews, and construction sales or estimating teams (roofing, solar, home improvement, and canvassing). It is also useful to construction-adjacent field vendors managing bids, jobs, and field visits from a phone.
- What industries use HeavyCivilHelper?
- Heavy civil construction and public works infrastructure, building and specialty trades (asphalt, concrete, paving, seal coating, landscaping), home improvement sales and estimating (roofing, solar, gutters, windows), utility contractors, and construction-adjacent field vendors. It is designed around construction work, its pre-award pipeline, and location-based field coordination.
- How is HeavyCivilHelper different from generic project management software?
- Generic project management software organizes work in lists, boards, and Gantt charts. HeavyCivilHelper organizes it on a map. The map is the homepage. Every job, lead, RFI, and field issue is tied to the GPS address where the work happens. For anyone managing work across multiple physical locations, that geographic view is what makes the status instantly clear, with no need to translate a row number into a location in your head.
