PinMy is a mobile focused field collaboration and documentation platform designed primarily for construction, architecture, engineering, BIM and other site based teams. It helps users capture issues, decisions and observations directly on construction plans, site photos, videos, maps and 3D models.

Instead of keeping project information scattered across WhatsApp conversations, emails, notebooks and photo galleries, teams can place a digital pin on the exact location where an issue occurs. Each pin can contain voice notes, text, photographs, videos and other contextual information.

AI plays an important role in the platform. Voice notes can be automatically converted into searchable text in more than 20 languages, while the Premium plan includes OCR technology for extracting text from site photographs, labels, equipment plates and printed documents.

PinMy also supports IFC 3D models. BIM teams can upload an IFC file, view a lightweight version on a mobile device and attach observations directly to locations within the model. BCF 2.1 import and export is available in beta for exchanging BIM issues with tools such as Revit, Navisworks and Solibri.

The platform is available through iOS, Android and web applications as well as a Chrome extension.

Features

Voice Notes on Plans

Users can place a pin on a particular location in a floor plan or site image and record a voice comment describing the issue.

PinMy automatically converts the voice recording into searchable and editable text. This allows site personnel to document observations without spending time typing long descriptions on a phone.

AI Voice Transcription

Voice notes can be automatically transcribed in more than 20 languages.

This feature can be especially useful for multilingual construction teams and workers who find speaking faster and easier than typing while moving around a site.

Pins on PDFs and Photos

Users can place visual pins directly onto PDF plans, blueprints and photographs. The comments and supporting information remain attached to the relevant location instead of becoming separated from the original context.

3D IFC Model Annotation

PinMy supports IFC files and automatically converts them into lightweight 3D models suitable for viewing on mobile devices.

Users can place pins directly on parts of a building model and attach photos, voice recordings, text, videos or PDFs.

BCF Import and Export

BCF 2.1 import and export is available in beta.

This allows BIM issues to move between PinMy and compatible professional tools such as Revit, Navisworks and Solibri while preserving relevant viewpoints and issue information.

Video Annotation

Premium users can upload videos and attach comments to particular moments in a walkthrough video. This can help document defects or observations that are easier to understand through moving footage.

AI OCR

Premium subscribers receive image text recognition powered by OCR technology.

It can extract readable information from site photographs, including labels, printed plans, equipment details and serial plates.

Sketching and Drawing

Users can draw directly over PDFs, photographs and floor plans.

This can be useful for circling defects, highlighting installation problems, marking areas requiring repair or sketching possible layout changes.

Photo Documentation

Photos can be attached directly to individual pins. This provides visual evidence alongside written or spoken observations and keeps the image connected to its precise project context.

Task Management

PinMy includes task oriented workflows where issues can be assigned and followed through different stages.

Teams can use a Kanban style process to move work from To Do through In Progress to Done.

Team Mentions

Users can mention colleagues and assign issues to appropriate team members. Notifications help ensure that relevant people know when their attention is required.

Guest Mode

Contractors or clients can access shared files through Guest Mode without needing to install the application or create their own PinMy account.

This can simplify collaboration with external participants.

PDF Reports

PinMy can generate PDF reports from project files. Reports can include pins, comments, author information, timestamps and related project context.

Several reporting modes are currently available in beta, including status, assignment, daily activity and complete item reports.

Interactive Project Map

Projects can be displayed geographically, helping users see the locations of their different projects and open relevant information from the map.

Chrome Extension

PinMy provides a Chrome extension that allows users to capture screenshots from their browser and add them directly to their PinMy workspace.

Cross Device Access

The platform works on iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets, modern web browsers and through its Chrome extension.

Users can therefore capture an issue on their phone while visiting a site and later continue reviewing the project from a desktop computer.

How It Works

Step 1: Create a PinMy account

Step 2: Create a project and upload a file

Upload a construction plan, PDF, photograph or supported IFC model. Premium users can also work with supported video files.

Step 3: Locate the issue

Open the plan or media file and navigate to the exact location where an observation, defect or task needs to be recorded.

Step 4: Drop a pin

Tap the relevant location to create a digital pin.

Step 5: Add information

Record a voice note, type a comment, take a photograph, add video or provide other relevant information.

Voice recordings can automatically be converted into searchable text.

Step 6: Mark the area

Use drawing and highlighting tools when a visual indication is more useful than a written description.

Step 7: Assign or share

Mention the contractor, colleague or project manager responsible for the issue. External participants can also access appropriate content through Guest Mode.

Step 8: Track progress

Follow assigned tasks through their workflow until the issue has been resolved.

Step 9: Generate a report

Create a PDF report containing project pins, comments and related documentation for sharing or record keeping.

Use Cases

Strengths

PinMy is specifically designed around field based construction workflows rather than being a generic project management platform.

Its ability to attach voice, text, photographs and other information to an exact position on a plan helps preserve the context surrounding an issue.

AI transcription can reduce the need for extensive typing while working on site.

Support for IFC models makes the platform useful for BIM teams that want to bring building models into a mobile field workflow.

The combination of sketching, photographs, voice notes and timestamps creates a useful record of site observations.

Guest Mode can simplify collaboration with contractors and clients who do not have PinMy accounts.

A permanent Free plan allows individuals and smaller teams to explore the platform without entering credit card details.

Drawbacks

The Free plan has relatively limited storage and a maximum individual file size of 6 MB.

Video annotation and OCR require a Premium subscription.

Several reporting and BCF capabilities are currently described as beta features, so organizations should evaluate them carefully before making them central to critical workflows.

Current reports cover individual files rather than complete folders or multiple files.

The reporting system does not yet provide some advanced options such as custom templates, client logos, electronic signatures, priority columns or due date columns.

PinMy’s AI generated transcription and OCR results may contain errors. Construction, structural, safety, regulatory and other important information should always be checked by qualified professionals.

Comparison with Other Platforms

PinMy operates in the construction collaboration and field documentation category alongside larger platforms such as PlanRadar, Autodesk Construction Cloud, BIM 360 and Procore.

However, PinMy does not position itself as a direct replacement for every function offered by these larger construction management ecosystems.

Its primary focus is capturing information at the moment it is created on site. A worker can speak, photograph, draw or place a comment directly on a plan, creating a structured record before important context is lost.

Larger construction platforms may provide more extensive enterprise project management, financial management, document control and integration capabilities. PinMy takes a more focused and mobile oriented approach to field capture and visual communication.

For small and medium sized teams, it may provide a simpler way to manage site observations. Larger organizations may use it alongside existing construction management or BIM platforms.

Customer Reviews and Testimonials

PinMy displays several customer testimonials on its official website.

The testimonials come from professionals in different countries and roles, including architects, BIM consultants and construction related users.

Published feedback highlights areas such as project collaboration, plan annotation, document sharing, cross device access and reducing dependence on paper based workflows.

Because these testimonials are selected and published by PinMy itself, they should be considered company presented customer feedback rather than independent reviews.

Conclusion

PinMy is a practical field documentation and collaboration platform designed for construction, architecture, engineering and BIM professionals.

Its strongest feature is the ability to connect information directly to the place where it matters. Instead of a photograph sitting in a messaging thread or a voice note losing its context, users can pin the information directly onto a plan, site photograph, video or IFC model.

AI voice transcription and OCR add useful automation, while photographs, sketching, task management, Guest Mode, PDF reporting and BIM support create a broader field workflow.

PinMy may be particularly useful for site supervisors, architects, BIM coordinators, construction foremen, snagging managers, surveyors, facilities teams and project managers who want a simpler way to capture and communicate what is happening on site.

The Free plan provides an accessible way to test the workflow, while Premium is better suited to professionals who need larger files, more storage, longer voice notes, OCR and video annotation.

Overall, PinMy is worth considering for construction teams that want to move important site observations out of scattered chats and notebooks and into a more visual, organized and traceable project record.
