Submit-ready West Virginia site forms
in minutes, not days
West Virginia's SHPO (within the Division of Culture and History) provides Archaeological Site inventory forms, requiring UTM coordinates and PDF submission of all survey reports and inventory forms. FieldTap Report Builder turns the site form into a one-time setup.
Why state forms break every other tool
Every state has its own paper site form. West Virginia's is West Virginia site forms — a fixed PDF layout WV SHPO 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 WV SHPO PDF for the life of your firm.

What WV SHPO reviewers expect
- WV SHPO requests UTM coordinates on all Archaeological Site forms and requires PDF submission — FieldTap exports exactly that.
- All survey reports and inventory forms must be submitted as PDFs — FieldTap auto-fills the official form so the layout is always correct.
- 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 West Virginia CRM fieldwork; consistent records reduce revision cycles.
