Manifold is a field documentation app for renovation contractors. It captures GPS-tagged, timestamped photos automatically, enforces photo proof on checklists and punch lists, and exports branded PDF reports in one tap. It works fully offline on iOS and Android, and starts at $16/user/month with no seat minimums.
This guide covers the three-phase documentation workflow renovation contractors need: before work starts, during the build, and at handover.
This is the most important and most skipped documentation pass. Before your crew touches anything, photograph every room to be worked in from multiple angles, any pre-existing damage, adjacent spaces that could be affected, and the condition of everything that isn’t being replaced. In Manifold, every photo is GPS-tagged and timestamped automatically. These establish the baseline record — a homeowner who claims your crew damaged something at the end of the job gets answered with location-stamped, dated evidence of what was there on day one.
For jobs where measurements matter — bathroom remodels, kitchen renovations, room additions — Orbit Measure captures a measurable 3D model of the existing space in 60 seconds on any iOS or Android phone, no LiDAR required, accurate to half an inch. Share with your supplier or designer via link without a return visit. For 2D floor plans with labeled dimensions, Floor Plan Scan uses iPhone LiDAR (iPhone 12 Pro+).
Photos taken during the job automatically sort to the correct project via GPS. No manual filing. For milestones — rough-in complete, pre-drywall, tile set — use photo-required checklists. Each item locked until a photo is attached, creating a documented milestone record shareable with the client or inspector.
Every punch list item — touch-up paint, caulking, hardware — locked until a completion photo is attached. One tap exports a PDF with before and after photos, the completed checklist, and punch list. Clients can view a before/after gallery or 3D walkthrough via a shareable link — no app required on their end.
Document every room to be worked in from multiple angles, all pre-existing damage, adjacent surfaces not being replaced, and the condition of floors, walls, ceilings, and fixtures staying in place. GPS-tagged and timestamped photos establish the baseline that protects against end-of-job damage disputes.
Orbit Measure captures measurable 3D models of existing spaces on any iOS or Android phone in 60 seconds — no LiDAR required. Accurate to half an inch. Useful for measuring existing rooms, sharing spatial context with fabricators or designers remotely, and documenting as-built conditions before renovation begins.
Before and after photos at each location, a completed photo punch list confirming each item was addressed, milestone checklist records, and any as-built documentation. Manifold generates this as a branded PDF with one tap.
