Survey to glass order — without the guesswork

The Coglass survey tool captures everything your office needs to order the right glass, first time.

1
Open the job on your phone
Your surveyor opens the assigned job in the Coglass mobile app. Job address, access notes and survey instructions from the office are all visible before they arrive on site.
2
Start the survey visit
Tap Start Survey. Coglass records the time, date and who is on site. The surveyor can record how many operatives are present, access requirements (ladders, scaffolding, powered access), and any special notes.
3
Add measurements
For each pane, the surveyor enters a location label (e.g. "Front bedroom left"), width and height in millimetres, and quantity. All dimensions are stored exactly as entered — no unit conversion, no rounding.
4
Add drawings and operations
Use the drawing tool to record glass shape (rectangle, arch, circle, oval, gable, trapezoid), Georgian bar positions, lead design patterns, cutouts, holes, notches, and RAL paint codes — all linked to that measurement.
5
Take photos
Attach photos to each individual measurement and to the overall survey. Photos are stored against the job and viewable in the office immediately — useful for checking the frame, damage, or unusual details.
6
Import to order
Once the survey is finished, office staff click Import to Workbench. Each measurement becomes a product line on the order — dimensions, shape, operations and all — ready for pricing and supplier ordering.

Every measurement tool a glazier needs on site

Built around how glaziers actually work — in the field, often without signal, measuring non-standard shapes.

All glass shapes supportedRectangle, arch, circle, oval, gable, trapezoid, semicircle, triangle, pill — every shape your surveyors encounter.
Location labels per paneName each pane clearly (e.g. "Kitchen left, above sink") so the right glass goes to the right window every time.
Georgian bar configurationRecord bar positions, columns, rows and colour — all stored digitally and passed to production.
Lead design patternsDiamond and square lead patterns with cell size, colour and border-only option recorded against the measurement.
Cutouts and holesRecord circular holes, rectangular cutouts, letterbox cutouts and corner notches — with position, size and label.
Survey photosTake photos per measurement and per survey. All photos are stored against the order, viewable in the office instantly.
Photo commentsAdd comments to photos — useful for flagging damage, unusual frame conditions, or installation notes.
Access and logistics loggingRecord what access equipment is needed (ladders, MEWP, scaffold) and special site conditions for fitters.
Works offlineNo signal on site? No problem. All survey data is captured and queued locally. Syncs automatically when connection is restored.
Survey duration and operativesRecord how long the survey took and who was on site — useful for labour costing and scheduling future visits.
One-click import to orderFinished surveys import directly to the order workbench — dimensions, shapes and operations all carry through to the glass order.
Multiple visit typesSurvey, fitting and delivery visits all tracked separately under the same order — full site history in one place.
