Layr for construction

PDF markup for construction drawings.

Revision clouds, drawing measurements and live markups across the set. Layr gives contractors and site teams a quick way to review PDF plans, with browser access to shared drawings in the field.

  • Site coordination
  • Revision reviews
  • RFI markups

Built for contractors, site teams, and project managers.

Construction drawing markup software for site questions.

Redline construction drawings with a cloud around the affected area and a note explaining the query. Layr brings drawing measurements, revision comparison and live shared comments together, so a plan, section or detail can carry the context of the review.

A review that fits your work

From the revised set to a clear site instruction.

  1. 01

    Check the latest revision

    Open the previous and revised PDFs side by side. Review changed layouts and details before briefing the team.

  2. 02

    Put the query on the drawing

    Use revision clouds, arrows, notes, and calibrated measurements to show a clash, missing dimension, or item needing clarification.

  3. 03

    Review what is still open

    Use the markup register to find notes by page, author, and status. Save the reviewed PDF for your normal RFI or site-coordination process.

Before you start

A few practical details.

Can I use Layr for site measurements?

You can calibrate a PDF and measure on the drawing. Confirm the scale and units, and verify critical dimensions on site; a drawing measurement is not a field survey.

What happens after the seven-day trial?

Editing tools lock unless you have a valid paid entitlement. You can still open, view, print, and save existing work. The trial requires a verified account and internet access; sending this form does not create or reset a trial.

Do I need a credit card to try Layr?

No. Leave your email to continue to the download, then sign in inside Layr with Google or an email link. You only enter payment details if you choose a paid subscription.

Will my drawings be uploaded?

The Windows desktop app renders local PDFs on your computer. Adding a PDF to a shared cloud project uploads a copy for collaboration. Keep confidential documents local unless you are authorized to share them.

Does Layr replace my specialist trade software?

Layr supports PDF review. It does not replace your formal RFI, document-control, or site-verification process.

Test with copies of your PDFs. Windows installation questions? Contact Layr.
