Appia Subscriber Testimonials
Don’t just take our word for it.
Hear from real agencies and engineering consultants about how they use Appia to save time, money, and a whole lot of stress.
Streamlining the reporting process with web tools
“Appia maintains all the project items, inspection reports, and change orders all in one place to help the [reporting] process be more convenient.”
Senior Project Manager, Texas CEI Firm
“A lot of our highway/bridge projects were one-person shows. And if you have 20 of those projects, how do you check to make sure things were done correctly? Well, now that can be checked remotely.”
Greg Fehrman, Principal Engineer, C+S Companies
“Daily reports are the best. [We love] being able to use the Mobile Inspector® app to take photos and document what’s going on in the job on a daily basis.”
Howard Weissberg, P.E., Director Of Public Works, City of Meriden
Tracking quantities, pay items, and estimates
“We have the structure to get the same results, so if we ever get to the point of an audit, the consistency is there. I don’t know of anything else out there that is as consistent for a site/civil application as Appia.”
Greg Fehrman, Principal Engineer, C+S Companies
“If you have to track two or three different packages of funding, it’s helpful to be able to track that in Appia and then generate a report at any time during the project on where those packages are at and what percent complete."
Senior Project Manager, Texas CEI Firm
“Trying to manage that many pay items manually would have been a nightmare. It wouldn’t have worked. It would have required a full-time administrator just to manage the paperwork. Appia eliminates the need for someone to have to do that.”
Tom Nead, Regional Manager, FHU
Keeping stakeholders informed with real-time data
“We’re beginning to see our clients request more digital records. We wanted to capture data in a more digital way to integrate it into some of the other GIS work we do, and ultimately asset management for our clients.”
Jaime Kurten, Digital Design Manager, MSA
“When Appia came about and read-only access was free, I thought ‘well why don’t I just give them access and have them go in and find out themselves,’ so it saves me a bunch of time since I don’t have to look up answers for them.”
Bradley Utz, Construction Manager, City of Terre Haute
“Inspectors with cellular coverage can be out in the field working in the app. Anyone else on the project team can see information more quickly in real-time, as opposed to that person in the field having to drive back to the office the next day."
Tom Nead, Regional Manager, FHU
Saving time for inspectors and project managers
“It’s a big time saver to have [the daily report populated] automatically just by posting to Mobile Inspector.”
Joe White, Project Engineer, Wolverine Engineering
“A pay estimate would take 2-3 hours to put together, check all the numbers, and transfer between programs. It was pretty awesome to go from that to be able to do it basically any time. With Appia, not having to be in my office is even better.”
Bradley Utz, Construction Manager, City of Terre Haute
“Instead of inspectors having to handwrite on a piece of paper, come back to the office, type it up, print it, and then hand it to me at the end of the week, we use Appia for real-time access that is a huge time-saver.”
Douglas Cade, County Engineer, Hancock County
Resolving potential issues and contractor disputes
“We had a contractor run into some contaminated groundwater and soil. He went back and reviewed the inspector’s report, looked at the comments, and pieced together a change proposal for an extension of time."
Joe White, Project Engineer, Wolverine Engineering
“We had a project go to claim on a time issue. We had to see how much time impacted the contractor due to weather. With the search function in Appia, I can go in and say ‘weather days’ and quickly pull it up. That helped with the claim process.”
Senior Project Manager, Texas CEI Firm
“If you have to research an issue (we had a utility issue where a contractor hit an unmarked conduit) having all that information available at your fingertips without having to go back through stacks of paper is fantastic.”
Howard Weissberg, P.E., Director Of Public Works, City of Meriden
User-friendly features and intuitive use
“Our partners at Infotech, as we came up with things that we needed Appia to do, they’ve been receptive and adopted some of the suggestions we had and implemented them into the application.”
Greg Fehrman, Principal Engineer, C+S Companies
“It’s a very intuitive system, so as long as you know the basics of construction management, you have a pretty good idea of what’s going on.”
Howard Weissberg, P.E., Director Of Public Works, City of Meriden
“It’s really simple, especially with the entrylevel folks that pick up on computers fast. A better example is that the 65-year olds that start working with it like it and think it’s easy - which is probably a bigger testament.”
Tom Nead, Regional Manager, FHU
