IT, AV and structured cabling
IT site survey appfor rooms, racks and everything in them.
Walk the floor naming each room, record what is installed and what it needs, and scan the label on every device so the MAC, IP and serial land in the product record rather than a notebook. The schedule comes out of the survey itself.

One floor of a cabling survey
The survey is fine. The schedule is where it falls apart.
Network and AV surveys produce a lot of small facts — outlet counts, containment routes, cabinet positions, device identifiers — and almost all of them get written once on site and typed again later into a spreadsheet. That second pass is where IP addresses get transposed, rooms get mislabelled and the schedule stops matching the building.
Identifiers typed twice
A MAC address copied by hand from a label into a notebook and then into Excel has two chances to be wrong.
Counts with no room
Outlet and device counts that are not tied to a specific room cannot be turned into a schedule anybody can install from.
No signal in the comms room
Risers, basements and plant rooms are exactly where the equipment is and exactly where coverage is not.
From the first walk to the issued schedule.
Built for the detail this work actually turns on.
An IT survey is a large number of small identifiers that all have to stay attached to the right room and the right device. That is the whole job.
✓Label capture
Print QR labels from the project, then scan any vendor label so MAC, IP, serial and barcode values land in the right data points.
✓Products in rooms
Every device sits against the space it lives in, so a schedule can be produced per room, per floor or per cabinet.
✓Custom data points
Record whatever your schedule needs against each product — port counts, patch references, firmware, test results.
✓Schedules without retyping
Because every product sits against its room with its own data points, the survey record is what the schedule is built from. A live Excel BOQ sync is in beta.
✓Photos and markup
Photograph a cabinet or containment route and draw on it, so the install team sees the constraint before they arrive.
✓Offline in the riser
Capture everything with no coverage at all and sync when you are back in range.
Start from an IT survey template.
Open a ready-made survey form, adjust it to the way your team scopes work, and assign it to the rooms you are walking. Every field is editable, in chat or visually.
✓Room reference and location on the plan
✓Outlet and device counts
✓Containment route and cable constraints
✓Cabinet or rack position and available U
✓Power and environmental requirements
✓Device identifiers — MAC, IP, serial
What is an IT site survey?+
An IT site survey is a structured walk of a building to record what the network needs and what is already installed. It typically covers each room, the outlet and device counts required, containment and cable routes, cabinet or rack positions, power and environmental constraints, and the identifiers of any equipment already in place. The output is the schedule or bill of quantities that the installation is priced and delivered from, which is why an error in the survey is expensive rather than merely annoying.
Can MAC addresses and IP addresses be scanned rather than typed?+
Yes. Point the phone at any vendor label and the MAC, IP, serial and barcode values are read into the correct data points on the product record. You can also print QR labels from the project first, so every device carries a tag that ties it back to its own record. That removes the transcription step, which is where most identifier errors come from.
Can the survey produce a bill of quantities?+
The survey record is structured for it: every product sits against the room it belongs to and carries its own data points, so counts and identifiers come out per room, per floor or per cabinet without being rebuilt by hand. A live one-way Excel BOQ sync, which keeps a workbook in step as the site record changes, is currently in beta rather than generally available.
Does it work in comms rooms and risers with no signal?+
Yes, and that is the case it is designed for. Everything is captured on the device — forms, photographs, scans, measurements and video — and syncs to the project once you are back in coverage. A survey tool that needs a connection fails precisely where the equipment lives.
Is this suitable for AV as well as IT?+
Yes. AV and structured cabling surveys have the same shape: rooms, devices in those rooms, identifiers on those devices, and constraints that decide what can be installed. The forms differ by the work; the record does not. AV and IT/networking are both among the industries the product is set up for at signup.
Can different engineers survey different floors consistently?+
Yes, and this is the main argument for a form over a notebook. Everyone opens the same survey for the same room type, so two engineers covering two floors produce records that can be compared and combined rather than two different documents that have to be reconciled.
