The problem

Location uncertainty costs you more than you think.

On road construction projects, location is at the center of every decision, every dispute, and every dollar. When your team can't answer "where are you?" instantly β€” that uncertainty compounds across every crew, every day, every job.

Crews hunting for stations

Field crews stop productive work to walk, wheel, or call the PM just to figure out where they are. That time is billed to your job.

Documentation you can't defend

When the DOT challenges a location or test result, paper records don't hold up. Disputes become rework. Rework becomes lost margin.

Coordination running through texts

Flags, photos, and notes scatter across group texts, emails, and spreadsheets. No location context. No clear record at closeout.

How it works

Location first. Documentation automatic. Record permanent.

Works on any phone or tablet β€” no hardware. 5-minute setup. Your crew is on station in minutes.

Know exactly where you are β€” instantly.

Open OnStation on any phone. GPS Station Finder shows your exact station, offset, and design layer. No stakes, no rover, no phone call.

β†’ Zero time wasted finding a station
  • GPS-based live station, alignment, and offset
  • Accurate within 2–5 ft (1 ft in ideal conditions)
  • Works on any iOS or Android phone
  • No special hardware β€” ever
  • STA, MM, LRS, and Lat/Long all supported

Document what you see, right where you see it.

Drop a flag, take a photo, leave a note β€” auto-tied to your exact station and timestamp. Shared with the whole team in real time.

β†’ Every issue, location-stamped instantly
  • Flags auto-stamped: station, offset, time
  • Camera notes embed station data on every photo
  • Tag: field mod, plan omission, change order
  • Shared with the full project team instantly

"OnStation is definitely worth the price. I will probably be shot for saying this, but it should probably be charged more for what we get out of it."

For Leadership & Finance

The business case writes itself.

Field teams love OnStation immediately. This section is for the person who needs to see the numbers before signing. Here's the financial reality β€” in plain language.

Licenses expense to project overhead

OnStation is not a capital expenditure. It comes out of project overhead β€” the same budget line as safety gear and surveying. No capital approval needed.

Break even in 1.5 hours of use

At $45/hr average labor (BLS), a 10-person crew breaks even in under two hours. Everything after that is margin recovered.

Documentation that protects against disputes

Every flag is station-stamped, time-stamped, and audit-ready. One exportable record can save tens of thousands in a DOT dispute.
