What’s new in FieldScout.

We’ve been building FieldScout for Canadian field work, and the Canadian tools and signup are now available across all 13 provinces and territories. Use HVAC Age Finder, Refrigerator / Freezer, Site Sketch, and Building Science Calculators, and keep your results together in Jobs, with metric measurements and Individual or Agency plans in Canadian dollars. The Canadian Guide walks you through getting started and using the tools. We’re glad you’re here.
