Structural engineering use case

Structural engineering site documentation software for PDF floor plans

pin360 helps structural engineers turn site visits into plan-based evidence records. Upload a PDF floor plan, pin 360° site photos and normal photos to exact locations, add notes or severity markers, then share one link for review.

The problem: site photos lose value when they are detached from the drawing.

Structural survey evidence often ends up split between PDF plans, phone photos, email notes, and report drafts. The expensive part is not taking the photos; it is proving where each image was taken and why it matters.

How structural engineers use pin360

Step 1

Upload the PDF floor plan

Use the same drawing the engineer, client, or site team already recognises.

Step 2

Capture site photos and 360 views

Document cracks, corrosion, damp, spalling, movement, roof defects, and access constraints.

Step 3

Pin evidence to exact locations

Place each image, panorama, note, and severity marker where the finding sits on the plan.

Step 4

Share one client-ready record

Send a link so reviewers can move from the drawing to the evidence without decoding folders.

Frequently asked questions

What is structural engineering site documentation software?

Structural engineering site documentation software helps engineers organise site photos, notes, defects, and review evidence around the physical locations inspected. pin360 uses PDF floor plans as the base layer so every photo and 360° view is tied to a clear plan position.

Can pin360 replace photo folders for condition surveys?

Yes. Instead of sending a loose folder of images, a structural engineer can pin each photo, panorama, finding, and note to the floor plan, then share one review link.

Do structural engineers need a Matterport-style 3D tour?

Usually not. For condition surveys and inspection records, the more important job is linking evidence to the drawing location. pin360 is built for that PDF-first workflow.
