Peg Basher apps

Site software, made by someone who works on site.

I'm a setting out engineer, and I built these tools because the ones I had were slow, expensive or never quite fit the job. They're written in plain site English, for groundworks and civils.

See what you get: a sample earthworks report

This is a real report made in Site Tools from a sample job. It comes as a printable PDF, and as a web page anyone can open on a phone or computer, with no program needed. In the web page you can draw round any area to get its cut and fill, and click anywhere for levels.

Getting started

  • Download and unzip the program on your Windows PC.
  • Open it. It shows your computer code.
  • Activate: enter that code and your email on the activation page, and your key appears straight away.
  • Paste the key into the program and you're up and running.

DWG & PDF Viewer: Site Tools

Your drawings on your phone. Open DWG, DXF and PDF drawings on site, measure from them, and set out, check drainage and take off ducts without going back to the cabin. You don't need an account, there are no adverts, and your drawings stay on your phone.

The viewer, measuring tools and calculators are free. Pegbasher Pro unlocks the full toolkit, with a 30-day free trial and then £15 a year.

View & measure

DWG and DXF with layers, and PDFs set to scale. Measure distances, angles, areas and levels, snap to the drawing and mark up PDFs. Your original file is never changed.

⌖

Set out & survey

Align drawings to OS National Grid, do setting out calculations, traverse and station finding, see your GPS position over satellite imagery, use LandXML surfaces and compare revisions.

≡

Duct take-off

Trace ducts by type and size, group them into shared trenches, place boxes, and get totals, dig widths, PDF reports and marked-up DXFs.

◎

Drainage

Drainage networks and checks, plus manhole calculations, schedules and sheets.

▣

Site records

Records and photos stamped with the date, time and GPS position, PDF site reports, and quick calculators for gradients, levels and spacing.

▤

Jobs

Keep each job's drawings, take-offs, records and reports together, and export the whole job as one file.

Available in English, French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Polish, Romanian, Russian and Albanian. The app is a checking aid, so always verify results on site before setting out, digging or ordering materials.
