Field-first automation for construction — not office tools forced onto a phone.

Construction admin is paper, WhatsApp, and a spreadsheet someone forgot to update. Every hour your supervisor spends re-keying timesheets or chasing signed dockets is an hour off the tools. We automate the on-site workflows that office software was never designed for.

Talk to an Expert

Why It Matters

Most construction software is built for the project manager at a desk. The crew on site is left with paper, WhatsApp photos, and a daily diary nobody fills in. Field-first automation — designed for a phone in a hi-vis pocket — is where the actual time savings sit. The office benefits because the data is finally clean.

Who this is for in construction & engineering

Construction firms with 10-200 staff and crews on multiple sites

Engineering and civil firms drowning in paperwork between site and office

Companies whose H&S framework only works when someone remembers to fill it in

Firms paying multiple SaaS subscriptions that do not talk to each other

What Changes

Business Automation for construction & engineering — what it does for you

One-tap forms the crew will actually use

Large tap targets, offline mode, photo capture in two presses. Designed for gloves, mud, and a 3am pour — not a quiet office.

H&S that runs proactively, not at audit time

Inductions, hazard registers, toolbox talks, and incident reporting — automated workflows that prompt the right person at the right time, with the records there when you need them.

Timesheets and dockets without re-entry

Capture on site, sync to payroll and accounting. Stop paying admin staff to type yesterday's hours into a different system every Friday.

Document control with one current version

Drawing revisions, RFIs, and site documents version-controlled and access-controlled. The team in the field always has the current revision, not last month's PDF.

Why Us

Our team has built field-first mobile apps for industries with similar constraints — offline operation, glove-friendly UI, conflict-resolution on sync — and the construction pattern is one we have repeated. We build for the site, not the spreadsheet.

Where to look next

Business Automation for construction & engineering — common questions

Will the field app work without signal on remote sites?

Yes — offline-first is the default. Forms, photos, timesheets, and incident reports queue locally and sync when connectivity returns. Conflict resolution is built in.

Do you replace Procore or Aconex, or work alongside?

Whichever fits. If a major platform is working for you, we automate the gaps around it. If it is not, we can replace specific workflows with simpler tools your crew will actually use.

How fast can we get a field app live?

A first useful version — typically timesheets, dockets, and one or two H&S forms — runs 6 to 10 weeks. We add workflows from there as your team gets comfortable.

What about subcontractor compliance and pre-qualification?

Pre-qual, insurance currency, and inductions are common workflows we automate. The data lives in one place; expiries flag automatically before a sub turns up on site.
