Submit-ready Maine site forms
in minutes, not days
Maine's SHPO is the Maine Historic Preservation Commission (MHPC), which provides a Maine Prehistoric Site Form and a Maine Historic Site Form plus archaeological survey guidelines, served through the CARMA map viewer. FieldTap Report Builder turns those forms into a one-time setup.
Why state forms break every other tool
Every state has its own paper site form. Maine's is Maine site forms — a fixed PDF layout MHPC expects to receive exactly as published. Generic field tools give you two bad options: rebuild the form by hand in their form builder (and still retype results into the official PDF), or pay for a professional services engagement to digitize each form.
Either way, every revision the agency publishes restarts the cycle. CRM firms end up paying for software and still doing the typing.
Import once. Map once. Done forever.
Report Builder is the only feature on the market that lets a CRM firm digitize a state's official PDF form themselves — no professional-services bill, no rebuilding the form by hand. Map the fields once and every record auto-exports a submit-ready MHPC PDF for the life of your firm.

What MHPC reviewers expect
- MHPC provides distinct Prehistoric and Historic Site Forms — FieldTap routes records to the correct form automatically.
- Records feed the Maine Historic Resources Inventory, served through CARMA — FieldTap exports records ready for that submission.
- Coordinates must agree across the form, map, and any GIS deliverable — FieldTap generates all three from one record.
- Section 106 review under the NHPA drives most Maine CRM fieldwork; consistent records reduce revision cycles.
Maine SHPO FAQ
Does FieldTap export Maine's site forms?
Yes. You import the Prehistoric and Historic Site Forms once, and every record exports a fully populated PDF in the official MHPC layout — no retyping.
Can we map a custom Maine form?
Yes. Report Builder accepts any PDF, including internal QA forms.
Does this work offline?
Yes. Recording, GPS, and photos run fully offline. Sync and export require connectivity.
What about GIS deliverables?
Shapefile, GeoJSON, and CSV come from the same record as the PDF, so coordinates and attributes always agree.
Can our whole crew record to one project?
Yes. FieldTap supports role-based team review before submission.
