Submit-ready North Carolina site forms
in minutes, not days
North Carolina sites are recorded on the North Carolina Archaeological Site Form (currently version VIII) and submitted to the Office of State Archaeology (OSA) for trinomial assignment and review. FieldTap Report Builder turns that form into a one-time setup.
Why state forms break every other tool
Every state has its own paper site form. North Carolina's is North Carolina site forms — a fixed PDF layout NC OSA 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 NC OSA PDF for the life of your firm.

What NC OSA reviewers expect
- Sites receive a trinomial site number assigned by OSA, included on the completed site form — FieldTap supports placeholder numbers swapped on export.
- Site forms must be uploaded as separate searchable PDFs with a site map for each site — FieldTap exports exactly that.
- Coordinates must agree across the form, site map, and any GIS deliverable — FieldTap generates all three from one record.
- Section 106 review under the NHPA drives most North Carolina CRM fieldwork; consistent records reduce revision cycles.
