PlanGrid co-founder here. It's definitely useful for a project of any size, but the value definitely scales non-linearly with the size of a project.

If nothing else, if you have a construction project that has paper plans, PlanGrid is the best way to make them digital, shareable, usable by multiple people.

This wasn't readily apparent to me after watching your video so I guess I'll ask here - what do you think is the core value of PlanGrid?

Is the point to be a full document control type solution (e.g. - in the same vein as Aconex) or is it a collaboration tool focused on construction? It appears to be the latter?

I guess I could just ask one of the guys I know from DPR...

Construction is booming here in Atlanta. If you want a technically knowledgeable sales rep in ATL, tell me who to talk to. The app looks amazing, as in it's actually innovative, as opposed to just another chat or email client. I'd love to be a part of that type of company.
