Construction & trades

Software built for the site, not the office.

Subcontractor compliance, QR check-ins, job management and quoting — built for rain, gloves and no reception. For builders and trades who are done with paper.

The problem

The paperwork is not admin. It's the risk.

Every builder knows the ritual: chase insurance certificates, chase SWMS, chase the licence that lapsed three weeks ago — and find out at the audit, not before. The trades do the work; the office does the chasing; the auditor does the finding out. Compliance becomes a memory problem instead of a guarantee.

The same pattern repeats across the industry — quotes chased between phone and spreadsheet, job progress reported by whoever remembers to call, client updates that never reach the client. The work is fine. The information around it is a liability.

What we build

From the gate badge to the progress claim.

Subbie compliance & inductions

Insurance, licences, SWMS and JSA collected once and verified automatically. Expired means blocked — enforced by software, not memory.

QR site check-ins

Scan at the gate, check in, archive off. First visit minute one; every visit after a single scan. Offline-ready for sites with no reception.

Job & progress tracking

Stages, dates, hold points and completions captured on site and visible to head office in real time.

Quoting & estimates

Margin-aware quoting with your rates and templates — quotes drafted, approved and client-ready without spreadsheet archaeology.

Client portals

Clients log in and see progress, photos and documents instead of phoning the builder. Fewer calls, more trust.

Accounting integrations

Job costs and progress claims flow into Xero, MYOB or your ERP. Month-end stops being a reconciliation weekend.

platforms — iOS, Android, web admin

A private consumer app shipped under our standard anonymity rule: native iOS and Android with a web admin console, and a database distributed across regions so a user anywhere in the world gets the same fast reads as one in Melbourne. It is the largest product we have shipped — built part-time over about a year and launched to ten thousand active users at 99% uptime, run without a dedicated ops team because the infrastructure was designed to manage itself.

Built by the same senior team that ships every construction project on this page — the anonymity is deliberate, not incidental.

Why it works

Data captured at the gate is data that is true.

Everything above follows the same principle: capture where the work happens, enforce the rules in software, and keep the office on dashboards instead of phones. It is the same discipline we bring to every build — see custom software development for the shape of the process, what it costs for the numbers, and selected work for the standard of finish.
