Free for every site engineer

Measurement book app for site engineers

Record each measurement once, at site, against its BOQ item: dimensions, deductions, photos and the place. It works offline and goes straight into the RA bill.

Four ways sites measure. Each one built into the entry screen.

Takes L x B x D x nos

Walls, slabs and footings with openings and overlaps deducted on the same entry, in red.

Mode of measurement per item

Set each item’s rules once from the contract and the relevant part of IS 1200. Every entry on that item follows them, whoever measures it.

  • Which openings to deduct, and from what size
  • Faces, layers and overlaps measured separately
  • The contract’s decimals for dimensions and quantity

Evidence on every entry

Photos, place, time and drawing

Each entry carries its photos, GPS position, time, sketch and drawing number. The client's engineer sees them beside the quantity.

Questions

What site and billing engineers ask before the first entry.

Contact the billing team

Does this replace the engineer-in-charge's measurement book?

No. Where the contract requires the department's own MB, Tatha Vastu is your evidence record that feeds it, and exports pages in its layout.

Does the app work with no network at site?

Yes. Entries, photos and sketches save on the phone and sync when it finds network. Nothing is lost if the phone dies before syncing.

Do site engineers pay for a seat?

No. Site users on the phone app are free on every plan. You pay per live work order.

Can a measurement be changed after approval?

Not in place. A correction creates a new version with its reason and the user's name, and the old one is kept.

Which phones does it run on?

Android and iPhone, including low-cost Android phones. Office users work in any browser.
