Trusted by Preservation Professionals
See what historic preservation firms are saying about FieldTap.
“FieldTap transformed our Section 106 workflow. We used to spend days formatting survey data into determination reports -now we export directly from the field. The HP-series forms match exactly how we document properties.”
Katherine W.
Section 106 Coordinator, Heritage Resource Consultants
“The AI photo analysis is incredible for identifying architectural details. It correctly flagged Italianate brackets and suggested the right period classification. Our HABS documentation has never been more consistent.”
David P.
Architectural Historian, Landmark Preservation Group
“We survey entire rural historic districts with no cell coverage. FieldTap's offline mode is completely reliable -every photo, GPS point, and condition rating syncs perfectly when we get back to the office.”
Angela M.
Preservation Specialist, StateWide Historic Consulting
Built for Preservation Data Security
Historic resource location confidentiality, sensitive property data controls, Section 106 documentation integrity, and NHPA compliance are not add-ons -they are the architecture.
Site Location Confidentiality
GPS coordinates and georeferenced photos of historic properties are access-restricted by default -never publicly accessible. Protects vulnerable and at-risk historic resources from vandalism and theft.
Sensitive Property Data Protection
Multi-level sensitivity classification with database-enforced access controls. Owner information, security vulnerabilities, and structural deficiencies are restricted to authorized personnel only.
Immutable Audit Trail
Append-only audit logs that cannot be modified or deleted. Full chain-of-custody documentation for Section 106 compliance reviews and federal agency submissions.
Encrypted & Hardened
AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, signed URLs for photos, HSTS, and row-level security on every database table.
