How do I build custom forms for site surveys?

You build custom site survey forms in SiteSurvey using the drag-and-drop form builder, which requires no coding knowledge. Choose from field types including short text, long text, number, date, dropdown, multi-select, photo capture, signature, barcode scan, and GPS location, then arrange them in the order that suits your workflow.

Form sections allow you to group related questions, making long forms easier to navigate on a mobile screen. Each field can be marked as required or optional, and you can add helper text to guide the operative completing the form. Validation rules ensure that number fields only accept numeric input and that mandatory fields are not skipped.

Once your form is configured, you can publish it to specific projects or teams directly from the builder. Changes to a published form are versioned so that historical submissions remain tied to the form version they were completed against. This is important for compliance and audit purposes in regulated sectors.

If you already have existing paper forms or inspection checklists, the SiteSurvey team can help you migrate them to digital templates. Standard industry templates for common survey types are also available in the template library as a starting point.
