Onetrace enables you to manage your real-world projects or sites entirely online, giving you the flexibility to work with or without GA drawings. Whether you’re starting a small refurbishment or managing a large-scale new build, Onetrace adapts to the way you work.

For detailed projects that require floor plans, you can run your project with drawings, allowing you to upload plans, drop pins for surveys, installs, and inspections, and organise everything into blocks and levels. If drawings aren’t available, you can run your project without drawings and still keep all project details organised and accessible.

  • Flexible project setup: Match the project type to your resources — with drawings for detailed build management or without drawings for simpler workflows.

  • Enhanced collaboration: Drawings allow you to visually mark up surveys, installs, and inspections, making it easier for teams to stay aligned.

  • Efficient site management: Use the Site Manager to organise blocks, levels, drawings, and zones, upload CSVs for quick setup, and preview plans directly within Onetrace.
