Introducing Zones: Organize Your Site for Greater Insights
What Are Zones?
On large projects, it’s common to break the site into smaller, manageable sections, often called zones, areas, or sectors.
These smaller sections make it easier to:
- Assign work to trades
- Track progress in detail
- Plan schedules and manage sequencing
The challenge? Doing this in the real world is messy:
- Drawings aren’t always broken the same way (architectural drawings might be “overall,” while trade drawings show more detail)
- Physical boundaries aren’t marked on site, making it tough to know where one zone ends and the next begins during captures
- Breaking captures by zone manually takes a lot of time and coordination
How Zones in Track3D Solve This
With Track3D’s Zones functionality, you can set up your project’s zones once, and let the system handle the rest.
- Easy to Setup: Define your zones on the overall project map (no need to create separate zone maps for each capture).
- Simplified Captures: Capture the site as you normally would — no need to walk “zone by zone.”
- Automatic Alignment: The system automatically links captures to the correct zone, area, or sector.
- Flexible Reporting: View progress at:
- Zone/Area/Sector level
- Multiple selected zones together
- Entire project level
- No Extra Effort for Teams: Less time managing capture logistics, more time managing the project.
Why This Matters For You
- Better Detail: Get accurate progress data exactly where you need it.
- Smarter Performance Insights: Trades often work in sequence, zone by zone. With Zones, you can compare progress between areas. For example, Zone 1 hitting 80% completion in 2 weeks, while Zone 2 takes 3 weeks. This helps teams identify reasons for delays, adjust planning, and improve execution in real time.
- Faster Decision-Making: Spot delays or issues in specific zones before they affect the whole project.
- Simplified Coordination: Keep zone-specific teams, trades, and schedules aligned without manual mapping.
- Time Savings: Avoid repetitive manual zone setup & related data collection, modifications for each capture.
Bottom Line: Zones let you capture once and analyze any way you want, saving time, reducing errors, and improving project control.
Zone-Based Progress Tracking is now available in Track3D! To see how this feature can make tracking your projects easier, let’s set up a personalized demo and walk through it together.
How It Works
Creating and managing zones is simple. From your project details, draw them directly on the floor plan or copy from another level. Once zones are defined, head to the progress page and turn on the Zones layer. This instantly filters your view to display only the progress, images, notes, and assets relevant to those zones, giving you a precise look at how work is advancing at each zone.
The progress overview and trends are displayed with clear navigation that helps you understand exactly where each zone fits in the project hierarchy. This clarity helps you navigate complex sites with ease and keeps your reporting structured and consistent.
The Value for Your Team
Zone-Based Progress Tracking gives your team unprecedented clarity by breaking down project progress into precise, zone-by-zone views. Instead of relying on broad floor-level or structure-level updates, you can now pinpoint exactly where work is advancing and where it’s falling behind. This level of detail helps you identify risks much earlier, keep SIPS timelines aligned, and ensure smoother, faster handovers between trades that minimize idle time and rework.
By assigning clear accountability for specific zones, subcontractors understand their exact scope and performance expectations, leading to faster issue resolution and more coordinated site operations. The result is a proactive approach to progress tracking that improves decision-making, enhances collaboration, and keeps your projects firmly on schedule.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
