Fieldwire by Hilti is a mobile-first jobsite management platform designed to empower every member of the construction team — from foremen and technicians to project managers — with real-time access to project data, plans, and tasks. It bridges the gap between field operations and office management in a single, easy-to-use application.
Used on over 2,000,000 projects worldwide by teams of 10 to 10,000.
Acquired by the Hilti Group in 2021, accelerating development and global reach.
Saves each team member up to one hour per day on every project.
Runs on any browser, iOS or Android phone, or tablet — online and offline.
At Five 9s Communications, Fieldwire is used to coordinate installation tasks, share as-built documentation, and keep project managers aligned with field technicians across all active job sites.
Fieldwire makes it simple to upload, organize, and share project plans so that every team member is always working from the most current version. Outdated drawings cause costly rework — Fieldwire eliminates this risk with automatic version control.
Fieldwire automatically tracks plan revisions, ensuring no one works from an outdated drawing.
Annotate directly on plans with comments, shapes, photos, and video links.
Integrates with Box, Dropbox, OneDrive, and Google Drive for seamless document flow.
Task management is the operational core of Fieldwire. Tasks give every crew member a clear, accountable record of what needs to be done, where, and by when — all linked directly to the relevant location on a site plan.
Each task is pinned to a specific location on the site plan — instantly visible to all stakeholders.
Assign tasks to individuals or trade crews with deadlines and priority levels.
Attach photos and videos directly to tasks for as-built documentation and quality control.
Push notifications alert assigned team members instantly when a task is created or updated.
For Five 9s technicians: use tasks to document installation checkpoints, flag issues requiring supervisor review, and capture photographic evidence of completed work — all linked to the relevant area of the site plan.
Fieldwire replaces paper-based field documentation with digital forms that can be filled out on-site, automatically compiled into reports, and instantly shared with the project team and management.
Capture crew size, work performed, materials used, and site conditions each day.
Complete jobsite safety checklists and document hazards with photos.
Create and close punch list items linked directly to plan locations for final inspections.
Generate professional progress reports automatically for seamless project handovers.
Important: Thorough documentation in Fieldwire has enabled contractors to successfully defend change orders. Always document your work with photos and detailed task notes.
Fieldwire is built mobile-first — designed to work reliably in the demanding conditions of a real job site, including areas with poor or no connectivity. The mobile experience is the primary way field technicians interact with the platform.
The app functions fully without internet. Changes sync automatically when reconnected.
Native apps available for both platforms via the App Store and Google Play.
Full functionality available via Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and other modern browsers.
The intuitive interface requires minimal training — most technicians are productive within minutes.
Tip: Before arriving on a job site in a low-connectivity area, open the project in Fieldwire while on Wi-Fi so plans are cached locally for offline use.
Fieldwire keeps every stakeholder — project owners, general contractors, subcontractors, and field crews — connected through a single, shared source of truth. Decisions are faster, miscommunications are reduced, and accountability is built into every interaction.
Conversations are linked to specific tasks — context is never lost in a separate chat thread.
Connects with Box, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, and other construction tech via open API.
From owners to subcontractors, all participants share one real-time updated project database.
Every action is logged with user attribution and timestamps for full project accountability.
All tasks, photos, and documents captured in the field are instantly accessible to the Five 9s office team, enabling project managers to stay current without needing to be on site.
