The Facilities Management industry is one with its own needs, both in terms of tools and expertise. Here are some iPad apps for FM professionals to make life easier (and supplement our favourite productivity apps!):

iAuditor

Fully customisable workplace audits for every industry and application are now in your hands, where you need them most.

You can create custom audits from scratch, reuse existing audits, and even generate and edit audits on desktop computers with a spreadsheet and simply import them into iAuditor. And if that isn’t enough, you can also share audit forms within the app, across similar industries via the SafetyCulture Cloud. You can even import and export PDFs.

cadTouch R2

cadTouch reinvents on-site drafting with unrivalled ease of use and unprecedented multitouch workflow speeds.

cadTouch follows you on the workplace: create new drawings from scratch and then save them as DWG or send drawings for PDF printing; you can view, edit and query information from your existing files.

Take the professional advantage of producing desktop-class CAD documents as you measure rooms or parts on the go.

Large Viewer

Want to quickly and easily view documents (including PDFs or faxes) longer than 8,000 pages or larger than 48 x 36 inches?

Need something larger than a 86 megapixel camera image, 20,000 x 18,000 pixel size blueprints, or 500MB TIFF files?

Need to preserve the minute details of the drawing? Then this is the app for you.

With easy page selection, file type converter and share capabilities, this is more than just a large viewer.

iQuick Estimator

iQuick Estimator is the best tool for construction, bidding and estimating projects.

This is an easy-to-use, powerful estimating, job tracking and project management programme.

With Quick Estimator features like quickbooks link, job tracking, daily diary, to-do list, and photo gallery, this app is both fun and easy to use.

SMART Bridgit® Conferencing App

This is a free app which allows remote workers and on-the-go FMers to join meetings remotely and see what’s being shown in the room on the SMART Board – all at their fingertips.

Collaborate effortlessly, highlight or annotate over content and join in on your iPad with either a WiFi or 3G network connection.
