How it works

Set up, capture, review, export

01

Set up in minutes

Upload your P6 or MS Project schedule and assign supervisors. They join by scanning a QR code.

02

Capture on site

Supervisors tick weighted steps and add photos, videos and a note. Geotagged, timestamped, offline.

03

Planner reviews

You check the field record and decide how it sits in the program. Nothing is applied without you.

04

Export to P6

Export a P6-ready XLSX keyed by Activity ID. Physical %, actual dates and remaining duration import straight into P6.

Straight into P6

Activities you update in the field update in P6

A Primavera P6 schedule with physical percent complete updated on activities, one highlighted in red

Physical % complete, actual dates and remaining duration import by Activity ID, onto the activities they belong to (here, the highlighted one). No re-keying, no chasing for status.

Auditable evidence capture

The contemporaneous record your claims stand on.

When a crew hits unplanned work, the supervisor captures it on the spot with photos and videos. Anything that may be a variation is flagged for your commercial team, and collects into a dated evidence pack. GridStep assembles the record. It never assesses entitlement or money.

Captured in place

Photo, video, geotag and capture time, the moment it happens.

Append-only

Records are never deletable, which is what makes them trustworthy.

For your CA or QS

The commercial team decides what is pursued, not the app.

Built by project planners and engineers who know P6

Everything else, without drifting into scheduling

Rules of credit

Computed physical % from ticked, weighted steps, never a guess.

Offline-first

A PWA that captures with zero signal and syncs when back in range.

Closed P6 round-trip

Activity IDs are never altered. Promoted work exports as genuine adds.

Data in Australia

Secure multi-tenant hosting, your data stored in Sydney.
