Fieldwire is an excellent tool for general contractors managing drawings, tasks, and subcontractor coordination. Sitemark is for the field crew doing the actual grade work — the operator running the pipe laser, the grade checker logging shots, the crew chief generating the as-built at the end of the day.
Fieldwire is built around drawings. You upload plans, mark up revisions, assign tasks to areas on the drawing, and manage RFIs and submittals. It's excellent for the GC managing what's supposed to happen and coordinating who does what where.
Sitemark is built around field data. When you shoot an elevation with your GPS rover or total station, that number becomes a verified data point — compared against the design, flagged if it's out of tolerance, and stored as part of the as-built record. The “documentation” isn't just a note or a photo — it's a verified measurement.
For a grading sub or utility contractor, the question isn't “is the drawing marked up correctly?” — it's “does my work actually match the design?” That's a fundamentally different question that requires fundamentally different software.
If you're a grading or utility sub on a project where the GC runs Fieldwire, you may use Fieldwire for task acknowledgment and drawing access while running Sitemark for your actual field verification work. They serve completely different layers.
If you're a sub choosing your own field documentation platform, Sitemark handles everything Fieldwire does for field crews (photos, daily reports) plus everything it doesn't (grade shots, as-builts, calibration, pipe verification).
Grade verification, MH-to-MH pipe logging, as-built generation, and calibration tracking — for the operator doing the precision work on the ground.
