Fieldwire is great for viewing plans on-site and managing punch lists. But it doesn't log into iRFIS, doesn't call 311, and doesn't know your inspection sequence. If your problem is the inspection workflow, you need a different tool.

Fieldwire is a solid field management tool. Your foremen use it to view plans, your subs check their tasks, your punch lists live there. That's not what InspectPilot replaces. InspectPilot handles the inspection-specific work that Fieldwire doesn't touch: submitting requests to LADBS, tracking the 3 PM deadline, catching sequencing errors, managing the correction loop.
Some contractors create Fieldwire tasks for each inspection and manually update them. That works, but it's manual tracking of something that should be automated. You're still logging into iRFIS, still calling 311, still checking results the next morning. Fieldwire just gives you a place to write it down — it doesn't do the work.
Fieldwire charges $39/user/month. If you have 5 people on your team, that's $195/month for field management. InspectPilot is $200/month for your whole team, no per-user pricing, specifically for inspections. Most contractors running 4+ permits will use both — Fieldwire for field coordination, InspectPilot for the inspection workflow.
Fieldwire manages field work. InspectPilot manages inspections. They solve different problems and work well side by side. If your biggest time sink is the inspection admin — iRFIS, 311, corrections, deadlines — that's what InspectPilot fixes.
Yes. Fieldwire for plan viewing, task management, and field coordination. InspectPilot for inspection scheduling, status tracking, and compliance. They don't overlap.
No. Fieldwire doesn't connect to iRFIS or 311. You still do all inspection requests manually. InspectPilot handles that automatically.
Fieldwire charges per user ($39/user/mo). InspectPilot is a flat $200/mo for the whole team. Depends on your team size and what you need.
No. If you can use iRFIS, you can use InspectPilot. 5 minutes to set up your permits. After that, it handles the rest. We'll walk you through it on the phone if you prefer.
