Introduction

Annotated photos are essential for clear communication and documentation in construction, inspections, and project management. However, traditional methods—such as manually marking up paper prints or using basic digital tools—are often inefficient and lack real-time collaboration capabilities. This leads to delays, miscommunication, and inconsistencies across teams and project phases.

Additionally, without a standardised markup process, multiple versions of annotated photos can lead to errors, making it difficult to track changes and maintain accurate records.

The Photo Markup App addresses these challenges by providing a centralised platform for securely marking up, storing, and sharing annotated photos. With features like version control, standardised templates, and remote accessibility, teams can streamline workflows, improve collaboration, and ensure consistency in project documentation.

How it works

Key features

  • Store all annotated photos in a centralised and secure cloud-based system, ensuring easy access from any device, anywhere.

  • Allow multiple team members to view, edit, and comment on annotated photos on web and mobile, reducing miscommunication and speeding up decision-making.

  • Annotate photos in various formats, providing flexibility across different project needs.

  • Capture and mark up photos directly from mobile or tablet devices, enabling on-the-go documentation.

Best practices

  • Add comments to photos, reducing back-and-forth communication delays.

  • Control who can access annotated photos via permission control to ensure data security and maintain documentation integrity.

  • Use different colours and brush sizes to distinguish various markup types (e.g., red for urgent issues, blue for general notes, green for approvals)

  • Share annotated photos with stakeholders through professional PDF reports, ensuring clear communication and transparency.
