Drawings, not bloat
Redliner keeps the product centered on sheets: full markup toolset, cost-loaded takeoff by room, and AI version comparison.
Compare
Redliner vs PlanGrid: focused drawing intelligence without the project-management sprawl.
PlanGrid is part of a broader construction cloud. Redliner stays narrow: construction PDFs, markups, takeoffs, AI scale detection, version comparison, and APIs.
Why teams use it
Organized around the sheet set.
Field access by QR
QR tags on printed plans and the project poster open current drawings, documents, and photos on a phone — no app install.
Bring your own system
Use Redliner alongside storage, estimating, and project management tools instead of forcing a migration.
FAQ
Questions this page should answer.
Is Redliner full project management software?
No. Redliner is intentionally not a full PM suite. If you need full construction project management, use BuildTools.
Does Redliner support field teams?
Yes. Redliner is browser-first, mobile-friendly, and built for field markup and current-set access.
Why choose Redliner over PlanGrid?
Choose Redliner when you want lightweight construction PDF markup, comparison, measurement, and API workflows without adopting a full construction cloud.
