Custom software for construction
We build software for UK contractors and construction businesses: site diaries and reporting, compliance and safety records, subcontractor management, and dashboards that bring project data together. Field teams get simple mobile tools; the office gets one reliable picture.
Systems we build
BIM-Integrated Project Management Platform
A custom platform that links Building Information Modelling data with project schedules, cost plans, and procurement workflows. Enables quantity surveyors and project managers to visualise progress against the 3D model and identify clashes or programme risks before they materialise on site.
Golden Thread Digital Record System
A document management and compliance platform that captures the complete digital thread of building safety information from design through construction to occupation, as mandated by the Building Safety Act 2022 for higher-risk buildings.
Subcontractor Supply Chain Portal
A procurement and supply chain management system that handles subcontractor prequalification, insurance verification, order processing, payment applications, and performance scoring across multiple projects simultaneously.
Site Safety and Compliance Mobile App
A field application for site managers and health and safety officers that digitises daily safety briefings, permit-to-work processes, near-miss reporting, RIDDOR submissions, and generates compliance dashboards for senior management.
Problems we hear about
- Poor project visibility across multi-site operations leads to cost overruns
- The Building Safety Act 2022 and the new Building Safety Regulator impose stringent golden thread digital record-keeping requirements that many firms lack the systems to support
- Fragmented communication between main contractors, subcontractors, architects, and quantity surveyors causes delays and rework, which adds cost and delay to almost every project
- Paper-based site safety processes make compliance with CDM 2015 (Construction Design and Management) regulations difficult to evidence and audit
- Difficulty tracking material costs, labour hours, and variations in real time leads to inaccurate project forecasting and squeezed margins
Off-the-shelf or custom?
Construction has strong products for project management and estimating. Custom software makes sense when your compliance records and site reporting live in paper or spreadsheets, or when you need the systems you already use to share data instead of being updated by hand.
Rules we design around
- Building Safety Act 2022
- Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015)
- Building Regulations 2010 (as amended)
- RIDDOR 2013
- Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
- UK GDPR for employee and subcontractor data
- Golden Thread Requirements for Higher-Risk Buildings
