FiberMarkup: Bill every foot.
As-built markup for fiber construction crews. Mark up the plan set on an iPad, right in the field. The footage adds itself up, and the office bills it the same day.
Works with no signal. On iPad or in any browser. Version 1 is always the clean print.
Get the highlights.
Footage that counts itself. Write 486′ in a callout and it lands in the total as a number you can bill.
No bars? Keep marking. Every save waits on the iPad and syncs itself the moment service comes back.
Every version, kept. Nothing is ever written over. Version 1 always opens the clean print.
Crew. Foreman. Office. Sign-off runs in order, each of them with the sheet in front of them.
Know before you dig. The 811 ticket rides on the sheet, so the crew can see it is cleared before a shovel goes in.
A print rides in the truck for two weeks. By the time it reaches the office, nobody is sure which copy is current. Footage that never makes it onto an invoice is footage you installed for free. FiberMarkup keeps the print, the markup and the number in one place.
How it works
Upload. Mark up.
Save. Bill.
No training day. A crew that can read a print can use this.
Upload the plan set.
Drop in the PDF. The original is locked, so nothing can change it.
Mark it up in the truck.
Cable runs, footage, splice closures, handholes. Stylus or finger, right on the sheet.
Save a version.
Nothing gets written over. Every save is stamped with a name and a time.
Sign off and bill.
Crew, foreman, office. Then read the footage back as a report.
Features
Made for the truck.
Ready for the office.
In the truck
Gloves on. Palm down.
Big buttons. Rest your hand on the glass. One finger draws, two move the sheet.
At the office
Footage totals itself.
By cable type, project, crew member and month.
At the office
Links that expire.
Send a print to one person. Revoke it whenever you like. It is useless to anyone else.
At the office
Subs see one job.
Give a sub the project they are on without handing over everything else.
At the office
A clean PDF, any version.
Export with the markup flattened onto every sheet. The file you uploaded never changes.
Missing footage
Find the footage you’d
have given away.
Cable drawn with no footage written down is work you cannot bill. A number that does not match the run beside it is an argument better had now. Both land in one list, biggest loss first.

Four promises.
Built in.
Each one is part of how it works. None of them depends on somebody remembering.
Your print never changes.
Markup is kept separate from the file you uploaded. Version 1 always opens the clean original.
A blank is never a zero.
A sheet with no scale set shows a dash and says so, instead of quietly leaving real cable out of your total.
Nobody sees more than they should.
A crew lead and a sub can both mark up prints and still see completely different sets of them.
Almost nothing is permanent.
Saves add, they do not replace. Deletes can be undone. The two things that cannot need an admin, on purpose.
Frequently asked questions
Questions? Answers.
Does FiberMarkup work without cell service?
Yes. Crews keep marking up with no signal at all. Every save is kept on the iPad and syncs itself, oldest first, the moment service comes back, so versions never land out of order.
What devices does it run on?
An iPad or other tablet in the truck, and any modern web browser in the office. It is the same account and the same sheets on both.
What plan files can we upload?
PDF plan sets, including multi-page sets, and images in PNG, JPEG, WebP or TIFF. Every upload is checked by what the file actually contains, not by what it is named.
How does FiberMarkup total footage?
Write the footage in a callout — 486′, 486 ft or 486FT — and it is stored as a number. Totals roll up by cable type, project, crew member and month. A sheet with no scale set shows a dash, never a zero, so missing footage stands out instead of quietly dropping out of the total.
Does it ever change our original plan set?
Never. The file you upload is locked, and markup is saved on top of it as versions. Version 1 always opens the clean original, and every save after it records who made it and when.
Can subcontractors see only their own jobs?
Yes. A role decides what someone can do, and visibility decides which prints they can see: every print, the prints on their projects, or only the ones assigned to them.
How does sign-off work?
Each sheet moves from crew to foreman to office, one step at a time, and each person signs with the sheet in front of them. If a sheet is sent back, the people who worked on it are told.
Can we track 811 locate tickets?
Yes. Attach a ticket to the sheets it covers, and the crew can see whether it is cleared to dig, about to lapse, still waiting on locates, or expired, before anyone breaks ground.
Can we export the marked-up plans?
Yes. Export any version as a PNG or a PDF with the markup flattened on. The file you uploaded stays exactly as it was.
How do we get started?
Book a demo and bring a real plan set. We spend thirty minutes on your own sheets, and your crew can try it on a live job before anyone signs anything.
Bring a real plan set.
Thirty minutes with your own sheets and your own footage. You will know in the first ten whether it fits how your crews already work.
